Deep
Anyone who has used a virtual drummer knows its pros and cons. On the one hand, you have the benefit of an instant professional drum track on which to build your song. On the other hand, you might have to settle for an available groove that’s not quite the one you hear in your head. Once it’s laid down, your drum track is probably going to require a bit of finessing to avoid sounding repetitive. You could, of course, build a drum track from scratch, which is tedious work and requires even more tweaking to make it feel natural and sound interesting. Or you could put UJAM Deep on the drum throne.
