Hey all. I'm looking for some music software - and if such a particular kind exists i can't find it.
Basically I'm looking for a drum/percussion equivilant of "GuitarPro". I've toyed around with the aforementioned, and while it does have the ability to play and edit drum scores it's somewhat limited beyond anything but simple tasks. Being specialised for guitar score and tab playback, it doesn't quite have the same abilities related to the percussion side of music as it does guitar.
Like in GuitarPro, i'd like to be able to import ASCII/MIDI tabs/files etc. I hope someone knows of such software, would be very appreciative of any help.

Well have you tried the basics out like Acid Pro? I use Guitar Pro and I have been able to create some decent sounding drum beats using their Real Sound Engine. It's no where near the greatest in the world, but you can get the point. Are you looking for concert level equipment or just garage level?

I'm not sure but I think you need reason 3.0, you can find it here.

great sample based drum sounds are pretty expensive, unless you ofcourse you already have bought the disk's and need some backups from the net so your DVD's don't get scratched...
my favs are BFD from FXpansion and Groove Agent from Steinberg. With BFD you have alot more control over your sounds (just look it up) where as groove agent has a bunch of pre arranged patterns you can manipulate (and i think is synth based rather than sample based).
you'll need external sequencers for both, and i would suggest Cubase from Steinberg as it is pretty easy to get your head round.
i'd also suggest amplitube for your guitar sounds...you can get a great tone if you mess about, and is great for reverb saturated overdrive (a la kevin shields or ira kaplan).
my signature is post-modernist in nature. it's cool before cool was cool. |

As Meridiel said, Reason 3 is fantastic. If you're focusing on drums/percussion you'll also want to check out ReCycle. It's by the same company - http://www.propellerheads.se/ - go there and you'll see it in the navbar on the left-hand side. ReCycle is great because it lets you put together drum loops that are tempo-independent, so they don't pitch up and down when you increase/decrease playback speed.
I also use Ableton Live, which is great for quick improvisation.

You need this.
Sounds better with the addon kits though.
If you're looking for more of a hiphop/synth/dance percussion, try Battery 2 as well, i've heard good things.
