Hydrogen is a free and open source drum machine for multiple platforms. Since I have used Fruity Loops quite expensively, I decided to give Hydrogen a shot and came out with this decent piece of drum loop in about 15mins.

You can listen to it here

The software is quite impressive but far from perfect.

Pros:

• Does a decent job.
• Free!

Cons:

• Very few inbuilt drumkits
• Synthesis is limited to drums and does not have other instruments and the output audio quality is not as good as Fruity Loops.

But still, I like it and really appreciate the effort put in by the developers to deliver a free and open source music composing experience!

Brain Drain is a song I composed a few years ago and there cannot be a better time to release this song.
I protest!!!
Get the song here.
Spread the word.
