Your Favorite Rhythm generation tool for the Virus ?

[meisenhower]

My favorite rhythm generation tool is our drummer, Joe and his fusion kit. We're still pretty old school, in that the majority of our recordings are done, real time in the studio. Drum kit, lots of mics and a guy with very fast hands and feet.

Then again, we play jazz.

When I'm doing something that doesn't need to "breathe" as much, and/or I'm working alone (or doing a totaly electronic project), I like Strike by Digidesign. Killer drum sounds and a ton of flexibility with everything from mic placement, to where the drum strikes the head. Also, since it's a Digidesign product, the integration with Protools is totally seamless and glitch free.

After going through various hardware and software drum machines, then currently Im on chopping up loops and sample libraries augment with beating my v-drum kit and handsonic to death
