‘The CM-505 is a 24 note-polyphonic VST drum synthesizer. The instrument is designed specifically for creating synthetic drum sounds; no samples are used to create its sounds, not even a single cycle. The sounds created by the CM-505 have their roots in classic analogue drum machines. Although the CM-505 can replicate many of the sounds of these classic analogue drum machines, it also extends them into new sonic territory.’

The CM-505 comes bundled with loads of other free vst plugins on the disc that comes free with Computer Music every month.

Also the articles, reviews and tutorials make the magazoine worth it’s cover price alone.

The DVD disc crammed with lot’s of music making goodies just makes the magazine a great buy.

It’s not out of the box because you need to create your own kits.

If like me you’ve got shed loads of drum samples it’s really easy to set up a kit.

Your samples though will probably need converting as Loopazoid only accepts samples at 16bit.

It’s free, it works and it’s totally customizable.

‘MDrummer Small is the lightest version of MDrummer. It does not contain drumset editor nor rhythm editor nor rhythm generator. However it contains several drumsets and rhythms and it is FREE! ‘

‘MDrummer Small also comes with the MDrummer demoversion, which shows all features, however you cannot save or export anything and generates random noise. But you can setup your own drumsets and rhythms and even use the rhythm generator.’
