Turn your computer into a set of drums with this fun program.

This is pretty much a drum kit that is seen on the desktop of the computer. It gives you a way to practice your beats and rhythm as if you were playing a set of drums. All you need to do is use the keyboard and the mouse to scroll over and click on the different components of the drum pads. If the computer is a touch screen, then you can touch the areas of the drums.

There are 12 different pads, each with its own sound that is realistic. You can also practice with over 40 drum samples that are stored in the program. The program doesn't take up a lot of room in the system. All you have to do is run the program and click to install, viewing the icon on the desktop. The drum features on the program are suitable enough to record with other music that you play or to add to the background of songs that you find online.

The program is designed so that you can create the beats in real time instead of clicking and hearing the sounds later after you have saved the recording. The sound is of a good quality for a program that is run on the computer and that involves this kind of beat. You'll want to monitor the pitch and the bass as you can adjust these components while playing music. Unfortunately, you can't adjust the color of the program or the way the pads are arranged on the screen. This can sometimes be annoying as the pads look like squares on the screen.
