Not sure anything can move me away from Pro Tools, but I have to say, the Drummer app is a really, really useful songwriting tool. I pulled in some tracks I had built with a loop in Pro Tools...set "Drummer" to follow the loop and had a convincing drum track in 25 minutes...You choose the drummer (style), the kit, and the complexity...the "follow" feature really locked the kick and snare in...The end result was better than what I could've played or dragged in via midi loops...

This one is really good...check out how he uses the "follow" feature to make the drums follow the half-time electric guitar...

I am really impressed with logic x.
At the price point, the value is outstanding.
I think the drummer thing is really great. Anyone want to buy all my toon track products?
I think a couple of dot upgrades, and it's going to be even better
Cheers

The whole thing seems pretty cheesy - but I was able to get really good results with it...Oh - and you can drag the drummer regions to midi files and use Slate or Superior instead if you want.

Impressive, great post, thanks. Yet one more thing I have to learn, just as I was getting used to Superior Drummer. It'll be interesting to see which one I prefer, once I'm familiar with it. If I was starting over, I'd certainly use "Drummer" for a while before considering spending $350 on SD.

The sounds are very usable - and with the multi's, you can break it out and mix it the way you want. Also, there are producer kits that are already multi'd out and have processing on each channel. Very interesting.
It's the speed AND the quality that impresses me.

While drummer might not be a feature everybody uses every day, I can see it as one that in a few months proves very valuable. It's so easy in writing, to get caught in the rabbit hole of programming drums "real quick" while anybody else involved becomes uninterested and detached from the process in the meantime. The less amount of distractions, the better. At least for us creative type. Also, a big +1 on slashing the price to allow more $$ for other goodies.

Exactly...Nothing worse than sitting in a writing session with somebody trying to build a drum loop. |

Superior Drummer's fast enough, but you gotta know your way around, and settle for a standard beat if you want something simple to work with temporarily. It might be interesting to use both occasionally. Apple has some very good sounds. Their Fender amp sims are certainly equal to the majority of those being offered online by software companies.
