Hi. I have to be honest and say I don't rate Session drummer at all. It lacks a certain thumpiness I expect from a natural sounding kit. As far as I'm aware, Session drummer doesn't contain R & B kits in any case.

I would suggest either trying it yourself or getting someone who is used to doing it on drum pads or keys.

Much of it will be what I call progressive blues. I will be doing pedals and left-hand bass. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darren H To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 9:36 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: MakingDrumTracksInProducer8 hi. for drum tracks I'm currently using Spectrasonics Stylus RMX and Ministry of Rock by East West quantum leap. You'll need sighted help with Ministry of rock, but it's sure worth it.

I want to use something in Producer 8 and CakeTalking 8 to make professional-sounding drum tracks. I have a B-3 and MOTU 8 PRE. It has proved to be difficult to lget a live drummer to help me lay down the music. I first thought of Session Drummer. However, it does not have to be that way. Any suggestions and a kick start would be appreciated. My messages were not going through, so, I unsubscribed and re-subscribed. I hope this one gets through. Thanks in advance for any help. www.rogerbaccus.com New CD by year's end!
