Jamstix 2 combines both style and drummer modelling to create realistic
performances. The basic building blocks are song parts (eg, verse, chorus
and so on), and these are arranged in an on-screen song sheet. This plays
in sync with your host sequencer, firing off sounds from the loaded kit.
Each part can be any style you choose, and its length and repetition is
set by you so that you can build up the structure you want. Parts can be
assigned to one of ten drummers, each of whom has their own particular
style. Most are designed to exhibit the characteristic rhythmic traits
of a well-known drummer, with the name giving you a clue as to who this
might be.
To give you an example, the description for 'John' explains that "this
drummer has very interesting groove habits, accents and fill strategies",
and that "special emphasis is given to triplet-based accents and fill
patterns". Other drummers include 'Stewart', 'Phil' and 'Carter'.
To get you up and running, Rayzoon has included a bunch of 'quickstart'
template songs with common structures for various styles.
