---For those of us not really able to put together a decent drum beat etc...are there any apps that offer preprogrammed drumbeats that might also include a bass sound? You know like the arranger type keyboards offer.
I know there are drum machine apps and if I played hip hop, house, techno, electronica I'd be set but I'm just an old rock and roller looking for rock and roll type drum beats etc...
p.s.- for those who might be tempted to tell me to man up and learn how to program my own? Please don't bother, I've tried and couldn't do it.
Thanks...

I am not a fan of Music Studio http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/music-st ... 08539?mt=8 , as it is not really for me. I own it, but don't have it installed. But, in your case it may be good. If you have drum loops already (wav files) you can import them (and you can actually to that in BM2, NS...ect. Plus, you can also import midi files, so midi drum loops would also be a real option. Midi drum loops have the advantage because you can use them in any "Beat Per Minute", and can use them with any drum kit. So you have various sound and beat options.

I am sure there are other options, maybe better ones, but Music Studio comes to mind. I am sure others will have some better suggestions.

You may find looptastic HD is what you need. But I dont own it so cannot comment on the quality of the included loops.
Garageband may be another good option.
Other than that, the already mentioned Music Studio, is another good option.

It seems that all of the loops included in looptastic hd are oriented towards electronic music.
I think you may find studio hd made by the same developers more suitable.

---Thanks, I downloaded the free version first. I've bought so many apps that weren't really for me that my wife is ready to kill me so I have to be very sure that what I buy is something I can use.
