What can I say but that I have not been this excited to make beats sine 1990 when I scored a Roland R-8 drum machine with the 3 card port. After spending 10 straight hours yesterday using Hydrogen-drums from hydrogen-music I can officially say WOW!
What is so impressive about Hydrogen is it's ease of use for even a seasoned drum machine veteran. Now at first glance I didn't really see the greatness of the product, but once I sat down a few days ago, I began to see the tremendous power, thought and utility of the software. Hydrogen kinda reminds me of my old Alesis SR-16 drum machine, a little droid that can deliver the goods. Once deep into the GUI I was able to pull off Daft Punk type low pass filter tweaks while going wild with Steve Harris' LADSPA plug-ins. Additional features like constant CPU load GUI meter and JACK transport on and off button makes Hydrogen-Drums my favorite and last drum machine. Sweet drum banks like classic 808, 909, 707 (you need 707 for the perfect hand clap) and many others left me doing something I have never done...(not looking around for another drum machine to get the perfect sound) and oh yeah one more thing it's FREE!
Hydrogen Drums gets my absolute highest praise!
