DrumKid is a discount lo-fi aleatoric drum machine. It generates rhythms using random numbers. It's designed to be used for both live performance and recording, with controls that allow organic transitions between rhythms and fills. Its lo-fi samples and effects are great for indie/glitch music, but its MIDI capabilities also make it a great choice for triggering samplers and drum machines. DrumKid's hackable, open source design also means that makers and coders can customise its features.
