I'm thinking of making my first ever track, I've been having ideas for a while, and wondered what the best programme there is out there to make a drum track over which I'll put the guitars, bass etc. I don't have a band, this really is a solo project, I'm attemping to do the whole Prince thing and want to write 'Composed, Arranged, Produced and Performed by Rider'. That's probably one of the coolest lines I ever read. In fact I'm thinking of sending it to my friends as a 'band I just discovered' and not tell them it's me, so I can get their REAL opinion on it. So, any good drum machine programmes any of you know of and/or use?

Thanks for all your help!

i find leafdrums very easy, just download some linn samples and away you go.

The battery plugin for cubase vst is really amazing, nothing else comes close.

The drum computer in Reason is good & fun too, if you're looking for something a little simpler. Finally, just Fruity Loops and a bunch of samples can work pretty nicely too.

Thanks guys, I've settled on LeafDrums, cos it's dead easy to use and I'm sure there's lots of good samples out there I can use.
