I use Cubase/Protools in the studio and cubase on my laptop (with firewire hardware). This is all I need to laydown some tracks, but sometimes I like to work on my laptop WITHOUT all the external audio interface and external harddrive connected to my laptop.

Cubase dosent run very well without ASIO support, so I wonder what all of you are using for grid-style drum pattern software?

It dosent need to be a fancy studio suite or anything, matter of fact, simple would be better in this situation...

I use FL Studio for percussion and rewire it to Cubase.. I'm not sure if it's a "grid" but those 1/16th pads work GREAT for percussion.. and FLs included FX work great for percussion..

NI Battery is really awesome. Check her out on NI's site.

Does battery come with a grid and playback mode? The last time I checked it was just a drum/sample machine that takes incoming MIDI.

Well no, but it works great with FLStudio.

check ETS from SonicBytes out.. i think it's what you are looking for..
hey cheggy
Either FL or Reason are probably the better two options. Redrm works pretty well for percussion in Reason, although reason might be a bit pricey if you just want something to play with the percs.

Battery and all the other VST instruments won't be of any help to you because they require a host to run properly. If you want something simple with its own sequencer and export function, go with Fruity Loops. You can always hook fruity up as a VSTi in Cubase later on if you want to keep everything in midi.
