Anyone know of some decent software for writing drum tracks on the computer? The kind of thing where you can set up a backing track to play along to.

i bought a snazzy drum machine for 90 quid i think.... much better then using computer i think.....if i knew how to use it :)

The best solution would be programming them into Cubase. Using sounds from a free drum module plugin.

Even more impressive would be using Groove Agent, the virtual drummer along with Cubase.

Band-In-A-Box would be slightly quicker but a load cheesier.

i cant get the hang of cubase, steinberg vst or cakewalk........so a little box with pads that sounds ace did it for me :)

but i am a dumbass

Its been around a while, but rebirth might be good for what you are after. Its a step sequencer based on the old 808 and 909 drum machines. Not to mention the TB 303 synth.
Its a bit limited but if all you want to do is play along to it, it should suffice.
