Drum machine with simple sequencer?
Hi,
A drummer friend of mine (who knows nothing about computers-surprise!)
would like to be able to see a grid and plot different time sigs for each drum as a means of working out and hearing complex beats for him to try and imitate - obviously he could learn to use Cubase or Reason drum editors, I was just wondering if anybody knew of a shareware/freeware 'stand alone' drum machine capable of showing visually more than one drums' different programmed parts ie one that has it's own sequencer attached rather than being part of another DAW ?
Any help/suggestions much app

Doggybox is sort of OK. I haven't checked on it in quite a while though. It's totally stand-alone. It might be cheap/free.
iDrum can be found here. It's $50.

Thanks for your helpful suggestions, a real eye-opener- that's the good thing about forums, even if you don't exactly what you are looking for, you always end up learning something!
Unfortunately for iDrum, which looked the most likely, I forgot to mention I'm looking for PC only (sorry).
The 'Trackers' were too numbers-based, he needs to be able to see the bar broken up on a grid (for each drum with changeable time sigs, triplets and the like) like a conventional sequencers' midi editor - but without the sequencer if you see what I mean.
I'm thinking maybe he should get to grips with an (old) entry level Cubase.
Really good response though, thanks again.
