Hi there. Jamstix user here. I have always found the software confusing and hard to use. I am on the lookout for alternatives in this age of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Can anyone suggest what newer intelligent drum VST's are now in the market that may be easier to use than Jamstix?

There is MeldaProduction MDrummer, but I do not think there is any other virtual drum software that can hold a candle to Jamstix; it still is the one to beat.

Yeah, another Jamstix vote here. I agree though, the UI is a little unwieldy, and it feels like I'm not entirely in control of it. Much like working with a real drummer, I suppose

None of them are very realistic- far too intelligent, and actually stop playing when you tell them to.

Necro-ing as I'm really getting into the Jamstix possibilities , very unique software, also complex but I think worth it. Anyone else still loving it ?

Logics Drummer has something similar. At least you can have it play beats automatically. Otherwise i´d go the superior drummer route. You get endless midi files and can change things you dont like. Learning a bit of how drummers play is also very helpful, you got more control about everything.

jamstix is thoroughly amazing, nothing bad to say except for the interface which is an acquired taste, on the holidays I'll probably get the bundle of mini-packs to complete my set.

Definitely, I started to listen more closely to drum parts of songs on the radio too.
Finding jamstix is quite educational , it refers too lots of drummer stuff which I didn't Know about
Also, agree that the interface could be improved, be made more cohesive

Good point.
Don't think the neighbours would be pleased if a real drummer (especially a beginner) emerged next door but yeah, even with finger-drumming you need to know how it's all put together. Got to understand all that 8th, 16th and triplet stuff next

we use Jamstix as a drum backing track generator for live jams. works a charm, and allows me to throw together a complete drum track in the space of a couple of minutes between tracks. i don't know what would i do without it.
I don't know what to write here that won't be censored, as I can only speak in profanity.
