Audio Loops + Midi = Ultimate Versatility and Authenticity
Why choose between the intense realism of a recorded audio performance and the versatility of MIDI? With DrumCore you get BOTH! Do you think that MIDI-based brush grooves sound a bit cheesy? Get the real thing with DrumCores audio loops! Want to hear that metal beat on a hip-hop kit and have control over every note in the part? Use DrumCores MIDI grooves and kits! Layer audio loops and MIDI together to add accents or create some hybrid grooves.

MIDI Drum Instrument Featuring Over 100 Great Kits with Acoustic, Brushed, Electronic and Latin Sounds!
Don't be satisfied with products that only offer you a couple of acoustic kits. After all, you shouldn't need a new plug-in to add a tambourine part. Use DrumCores kits to play the built-in MIDI grooves or for creating your own beats. Mix-and-match kit pieces (snares, kicks, etc.), retune them and route them to separate mixer inputs in your recording software for ultimate versatility.

The DrumCore Toolkit
This standalone application is great for jamming with beats and for adding your own samples (audio loops and drum sounds) to DrumCore. Catalog your loop libraries and build kits with your favorite samples, complete with velocity zones and crossfades!

Easy Integration
DrumCore easily integrates with popular plug-in hosts on Mac and PC. Audio exports as WAV, AIFF or REX2 and MIDI grooves export as standard MIDI files. Just drag and drop them to a track!

DrumCore Deluxe (optional)
Most pros know that when you buy your tools, you should get them with all the options. For them, there's no better choice than DrumCore Deluxe. Gigabytes and gigabytes of grooves across a multitude of musical styles—PLUS it's a great deal!

DrumCore Deluxe Includes:
- DrumCore (v3)
- AlanPack I

Submersible Music DrumCore Drum Synth (Macintosh and Windows) Reviews

6 People rated this product :
           9 out of 10

  zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"Yep. This is a winner."
Feature:
The search and ability to categorize samples is nice.

Quality:
Haven't experienced any glitches with the software itself, but noticed a slight "bite" at the end of saved samples in .wav format. But I can live with that.

Value:
The price is a bit steep, but you're purchasing a specialized product. This isn't just some generic drum machine. The quality shows.

Desirability:
If you want quality sound and a nice good variety of drum sounds/beats, then you should consider this product.

Sound:
Excellent quality sounds, regardless of the beat or style.

Ease of Use:
Amazingly easy to use. One good sound and drum technique leads to another!

Support:
Have not needed any support.

Overall:
I plan to use this product for quite a while. It has the quality and flexibility I need.

"Great quality and "bang for the buck"."
Feature:
It's a pretty basic feature set, but did what it said it would do. Also to get all these types of features I figured I would have to buy 4 different products so it was a good deal.

Desirability:
It has enough different styles of drumming, and variations on a groove that it's really helped my songwriting in a bunch of music genres. Also with the search engine, I can start writing faster vs. nerding out on the computer and searching for files for 1/2 hr.

Sound:
These audio loops are great (killer drummers, not recorded too wet) and the 700 free extra MIDI grooves were great quality as well.

Support:
seems like they have a good forum at their website.

Overall:
I still use another product (Reason) for my "synthesizer" sounding drum stuff. But for real sounding drums this is great. There's nothing like loops of great drummers.
