FL Studio

[TTU Shredder]

So, I have been trying to do my "at home studio" kind of thing lately. I have everything I need guitar and bass wise, but I do not own the drums nor do I even play them. What are yalls thoughts on using Fruity Loops as an at home studio drum kit? I was also looking towards this because it can also create keyboard/piano type sounds, which I also dont own. Let me know if you have used it before or if you know of something better.

Fruity loops is pretty damn good, but if it's drums you want, try Toontrack's ezDrummer program...

EZDrummer has some great samples - always sounds pretty real to me. FL is good if you need to do a lot more than just drums, IMO.

I would use EZDrummer if I didn't need bass samples. I may try some other programs in the future but for my first bunch of recordings I used PCDrummer. It's not horrible, but EZdrummer's samples are a lot better.

see my myspace site in my sig to hear what PCdrummer is like. EZD is a lot better.

I use Reason and their Drum Kits refill.

They have a nice video explaining how it works.

Various drum loops - Beta Monkey is recommended. At some point I'm going to buy a Roland Handsonic and actually learn hand percussion techniques though. Those things rock, I've played with them in a couple of stores. And way more fun to play the drums than to sit there listening to drum loop after drum loop to hear something which might work.
