Do you guys have any recommendations for a good VST drum machine for Fruity Loops Studio? Or any other tips for creating a nice beat? I just don't understand why it's so difficult for me to create a good sharp kick drum in FL...

I second that. I haven't been able to find any good VST drum machines either... and I suck at making drum patterns

do you mean drum synth or drum sampler?

drum synth:
waldorf attack
linplug RMIV

drum sampler:
linplug RMIV
native instruments battery

i prefer RMIV..

Seems to me there are two questions here:
1) Good drum-based VSTi's
2) Producing sharp kicks

On the first point, in addition to thecYrus's suggestions, check out DR-008 and LM4 MkII if you want a drum sampler.

On the second point, there's been some very good threads on this. Do a search

I'd go for Battery if u got some samples.

simply the best i've seen out there

pjtor g made a quality one, dunno what the link is tho

I've been using the RM3 still. I downloaded the RMIV demo but it wouldn't let me change the channel configuration from 6 mono + 1 stereo to the 10 stereo I usually use. Anyone else have this problem? Just seems to crash when I try it...

yes, i've only one stereo channel too but i doesn't need more than one and haven't tried to use more.. i'll look, perhaps i find a way to change it.

i like fx-pansion dr-008. i think its quite good

Ive been messing with KONTAKT, Id love to use it more but its hard to devide the channel outputs in fruity

Thanx for the great links guys, never heard of RMIII and RMIV before!
