Is Idrums A Good Software Program Options

[CHARLES TAYLOR]

I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY MAKIKNG DRUM PATTERNS AND ON IDRUMS AND SENDING THEM TO GARAGEBAND. HOW DO YOU MAKE A COMPLETE SONG WITH DIFFERENT DRUM BEATS FOR THE CHORUS AND MELODY?

LOL!!
Anyway, i had idrums for a while and got rid of it after getting fed up. Im right now using a software called doggiebox. Its much much better and uses the same samples as that of garage band rock kit and jazz kits. So, the end result is good...and yes you can make a complete song with diff tempos, and time signatures, with doggie box. only the name is a bit funny..

The only shortcoming for me is the fact that the individual volumes of the respective samples arent adjustable. Well, there are separate files for loud hihat, low hihat etc, but thats not what i wanted. I wanted an arrangement like thatt in leafdrums.

Leafdrums is by far the best that i have ever worked with. Even now, i get best results by using leafdrums. You can search the net for the samples, and get the required wav files. I even recorded an actualdrum set in college, and got those samples as wav files and added them onto leafdrusm....Its awesome. But it doeesnt work with mac. So i use it with my virtual PC win XP to create entire wav tracks of my songs, and then import these into garage band and then record everything else.
