Why choose Rhythm Rascal over other drum software applications?

• You can create complex songs, with time signature and tempo changes.
• You can reuse patterns throughout the song. For example, write the chorus pattern once, and reuse it at different parts in the song with a click of the mouse. Any changes you make to the pattern will take effect everywhere you use it.
• The sequences for all drum pads are shown on the screen at once, rather than selecting them one at a time, so you can easily visualize the beat.
• Assign names to patterns so you don't need to remember pattern numbers!
