Oh i didn't realize the Alesis was that old. Looks like no USB but you have midi I/O's. I think it would be possible to use it in Reaper but you would need an Interface with MIDI.
I'm sure there are free drumming software of there to use. But check out Toontrack's EZdrummer when you get a chance. It's only $99 and worth every penny. I'm no drummer either but this program has helped me track my songs with realistic drum sounds. And it's pretty much loop based which makes it a breeze. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EZdrummer/ |

I'll have to try it through my USB interface via the guitar input. Thanks for that advice on EZ drummer..its appreciated Dude! |

In short, the answer is get ezdrummer While I usually agree with Todd, I'm going to respectfully disagree on this. In the sub-$100 category, my vote would go to BFD Eco, with Addictive Drums a close second, both ahead of EZDrummer. You get a lot more for your money with BFD Eco (more drums included, better quality samples, a drum track editor, disk streaming, a standalone version, etc.) while still keeping things simple and streamlined. Just like EZDrummer, there are lots of add-on kits available, including some from 3rd parties. I don't know for certain, but I'd guess BFD Eco is at least as popular as EZDrummer. In the over $200 category, I'd say go with Toontracks Superior Drummer, but under $100, IMHO I'd recommend BFD Eco. fyi, Addictive Drums, unlike the other two has a downloadable demo so you can try it out (http://www.xlnaudio.com/). -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

I'm conducting a poll here on GMC to try to get some hard data on which DRUM VST is the most common. I'd suspected it was EZ drummer, but it's more heavily leaning to EZ DRUMMER than even I suspected. I have several VST's, it seems EZ is far and away the most common here @ GMC. BFD ECO is one of my favs it's a bit more rare. It just doesn't have the market penetration that EZ does.
Here is a link to the poll thread. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...mp;#entry635309 |

I understand, that makes sense.
In summary, Headbanger, if you're asking what is the most popular drum kit plugin here at GMC, the answer seems to be EZDrummer. By going with EZDrummer you can get help from other GMC members and share presets with them. I have BFD ECO and I must say that it's flat out superior in many ways to EZ Drummer. On the other hand, Headbanger, if you're asking what's the best drum kit plugin in the $100 price range, the answer is probably not EZDrummer. I agree with Todd that BFD Eco has numerous advantages over EZDrummer. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

This means that you need good mixing skills and enough time to make it sound good. The result can be better but you need time and knowledge. Do you have this same feeling? -------------------- My lessons

The result can be better but you need time and knowledge. Do you have this same feeling? I think you're confusing BFD with BFD Eco? BFD Eco has the same relationship to BFD that EZDrummer has to Superior. It's not as powerful, but it's simpler to use. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:
