drum synthesizers

[Halloween Jack]

Might want to check out a little program called Stomper... It's a really good
reproduction of analog sounds in a digital way. Also has some pre loaded files
for you to take a look at and experiment with. I made a bass CD for my friend's
car when I heard the one he was using and I laughed. Well, I laughed again when
I blew his 15 inch woofers... But... he wasn't mad at all, just decided he
needed something bigger and better anyway :P
