best computer drum program?

[mikegee]

i have pretty much been using Reason for my computer drum parts to my songs (preset beats, as well as with my roland octapad, when i drum the beats myself). I am pretty content with reason, but anybody have any other suggestions? ideally, i would want to be able to drum the sounds on my midi interface) i just haven't tried many any other programs, thnx

If i had the moola and the incentive to uprgrade from Reason as well like you I would look into the BFD Drum Instrument:

Judging by what I've seen and heard the BFD instrument has the most realistic drum sounds out of all the VSt drum things I've heard. What's really cool about it is you can decide what drum heads, drum sizes, actual drums *ludwig, pearl, dw etc.. you can use and you can mix and match them plus you can pick mic placement and i believe you can also add percussion elements like claves and chimes. All in all a fabulous drum instrument package in a virtual form.

woah... nice. i heard that the disks on this program are like huge, something like 8 or 9 gigs. i may need to get a larger harddrive hehe but 8 or 9 gigs is not huge by todays standards, so it is a good reason(hehe) to get a larger harddrive
