There's beatcraft too, I use it sometimes, although in a very simplistic manner. The program seems to be quite powerful though if you spend some time with it.

EZ Drummer is quite good for what you need. That's actually pretty basic VST drum, not over the top at all. You have grooves, and a simple mixer and that's pretty much it.
Addictive has more options, and it is not that straightforward (at least for me mate). Also I find drum sounding a bit fuller with EZD. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I don't want to make too much efforts learning a drum software, I simply want to use it without reading a manual. That's why I'd got one of these in the first place.
My friend got a Addictive drums in his pro studio, he says he prefers the drum sounds before EZdrummer. It was not simple as that to use and I want a program I can just sit down to work with without further explanation, a no brainer. So I got EZdrummer instead. Great drum sounds and I could use it rightway without reading any manuals. It's intiutive and easy to use. Being a guitarist and not the least interested in drums and I'm highly unwilling to learn - so EZD was and is the perfect package for me. -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (Smells @ Aug 29 2008, 10:34 AM)  EZ Drummer is brilliant, I prefer it over addictive drums although I think the "tweaking" of the drums you are able to do in AD is a good feature, other than that I find it takes me half the time to add drums with EZ. I believe also that the Superior 2.0 is supposed to be pretty outstanding, just ask Mr Cockburn for his verdict on that  I checked the demo video over att Toontrack.com, seems pretty cool especially if you're the tweaking sort

I am using Sample Tank for my drums, but since this is a full sampler software that can play ANY sample, not just drums, this might be a bit over the top for your needs. If you are thinking about using more sounds than only drums you might want to check it out though, I love it.

I use Superior Drummer 2 , I recently bought it, and it is the last word in drummer VST technology. It has a big sample database (18GB), and advance randomize algorithms, so that it plays many different samples, instead of few just like a real drummer. They sampled quite a lot of hits, 25+25+25 for each component if I'm not mistaken, and every sample range is dispersed over velocity range, and randomized.
Superior is nevertheless a bit harder to use straight from the box, and it doesn't come with a MIDI groove library. It is compatible with all other Toontrack products, and it can use EZD banks no problem, as well as any GM mapping. Why I suggested EZD is because of it's "no-brainer" as MickeM nicely put it. Simple plug, no hidden features and levels, one level down and that's all - to a small mixer and to groove library straight from a front interface.
