In their own words
Virtual Drummer
Virtual Drummer is a collection of drum instrument plug-ins for adding drum tracks to music productions. Its titles cover sounds and grooves including Nu Disco, 70s, rock, grunge, punk, contemporary 60s and 70s, and urban or funky styles. The Drummer’s Bundle lists eight drummers, 35 drum kits, 301 styles, 6,941 phrases, 895 presets, and 36 mix presets. Each drummer includes five kits, six mix presets, individual sound-shaping controls, multiple audio outputs, and a master section.

Studio One users can see style and drum-element names on piano-roll keys, with style and instrument ranges highlighted. The plug-ins run on macOS and Windows and require 64-bit software. A free Odd Meter MIDI Pack includes over 30 MIDI drum styles. UJAM lists a 30-day trial that runs without limitations. The listed bundle costs $99.50, paid once; individual plug-ins have listed prices from $9.52, paid once.
