What do you guys use to generate drums on the computer?

[Lee_L]

I'd like to record myself playing guitar onto my computer, but I also want some drums. I don't have a set, and I couldn't play one if I did, but I want to generate the drums on my computer. Is there software that does this? What do you guys use?

I use "Reason." It works pretty well - I got it in a software bundle that came with my soundcard (M-Audio Audiophile USB).

Check out PCdrummer. I use it and I think it works great.

Reason and/ or Rebirth by Propellerhead, sometimes Reality or Cubase itself...

For a "lower level", Steinberg´s B-Box is easy to use and can (thankfully) be hopped up with more "realistic" sounding samples. Groove Agent is the "newer version" IIRC

I usually just tap the monitor with a couple of pencils...

As zerb said I Have reBirth but the drums are somewhat limited...they do the job definitly if you want just a solid backing track but if you want to be creative with your drums you may want something different..
