    Basic drumkit software

    I'm bored at home and have been watching a vid of Pete Rock mashing up Pat Benatar's Love is a Battlefield on an MPC thingy and it got me wondering. I've been Googling awhile and haven't found anything yet (almost all are VSTs but I haven't got anything to hook these VSTs up to. Not sure if they can just be run by themselves).

    So, does anyone know of any MPC-style programs for Windows (only Windows!) where it's pretty much just a bunch of squares that you can click (or ideally use the PC keyboard to hit) and each plays a sample you've assigned it? I'm not even fussed right now about whether or not it can save the output to a wav, I can figure that part out later.

    So, any ideas? Even if it's not freeware, if it's cheap enough I may buy it just to kick back and have some fun. I was also thinking of using my DC stick with a midi mapping program (like Midi Yoke) and using that, which could be pretty cool (8 buttons + 4 directions), or maybe trying to find a cheap Pop'n'Music controller...

    Don't know about a program, but if you're using a laptop with those touch pads from synaptics, you can download a DrumPad software for it.

          Wrong hardware, but the iphone/ipod touch has these two apps. If you have an iphone or a ipod touch ? iDrum for drums for a couple of quid. Beatmaker for 15.99 (euros, about £12). Which is a sequencer wth 16 touch pads, that are editable etc... Roughly what your looking for..?

          BeatMaker.

            Hydrogen is a great software drum machine. Don't have the link but should be easy to find.
