I'm using Logic 6 Express and I have some great atmospherical plugins, but really want some awesome sounding beats, I mainly create hip hop tracks, just interested if people could recommend some good phat beat plugins Thanks

Look no further than iDrum – it's, as we say in Ireland, the dog's b****cks.

Below is a cut'n'paste from a previous reply of mine to a poster looking for good soft drums:

You can't go wrong with iDrum if you're running OS X. For €49, it's an astonishing package and incredible value for money – it's a step sequencer (as in TR808), a MIDI sample module, a drum-kit builder all-in-one. All controls and patterns are presented in one window and it takes just a few minutes to build a kit by dragging your own samples into it.

Each sample has a pattern matrix (called a Part) that can be displayed (and played) in 16/32/64 divisions and also has its own filters, pitch control, decay, choke settings, and mapping controls. You can even use it with loops!

You can create your own library of parts and load them from disk to mix and match.

Each iDrum file stores a kit and up to 99 patterns and/or a complete song. In AU mode you can use automation to change the first 16 patterns. The swing algorithm is identical to that used in the MPC 3000 (i.e. it's killer!).

It comes with a set of superb drum samples (easily worth €49 alone), hundreds of pre-built kits with killer beat patterns and pattern sequences, and everything is easily editable.

You can also drag a MIDI file into iDrum (and out of it) – what more could you possibly want for €49 :-)

But don't take my word for it – download the demo at:

If this reads like I work for Glaresoft, I don't – I'm just a very happy user.
