  • Second, Mdrummer and Jamstix are reasonably good possible alternatives, if you prefer their workflow, and you can download demos of them.
  • Third, avoid EZ Drummer and Superior Drummer like the zombie virus. The sound, the workflow, the interminable registration system, the fact that they don't have a demo and I had to buy a Korg nanaKontrol {which I was going to get anyway, but still} to get EZ Drummer Lite because they don't sell it by itself and it's frickin' useless... did I mention I don't like EZ Drummer?[/LIST]



    • Pat, I highly recommend Jamstix. Great sounds, reasonably priced, and when you have a problem you get the kind of personal attention from the program creator that we've become used to with PG Music. You won't be able to use one of Jamstix's strengths of jamming live along with a song in Realband, but that is an issue with RB not yet being able to deal properly with tempo-based features in other plug-ins. Even so, I think Jamstix is well worth it just for it's wide variety of drum and percussion sounds and other features.
