Description:

The Drummer is rather like a Music Sequencer such as ProTracker or Digital
Symphony, except it is dedicated to producing 'Drum Machine' style results.

Features include:

* Edit the 4 different pattern types (BassDrum, SnareDrum, Hi-Hat and
  Miscellaneous) with up to 50 different patterns allowed in each.

* Cut and paste between the different pattern types without any side effects
  (that I can see)

* Edit the main sequence, which is built up from the afore mentioned
  patterns.

* Control the direction of play of the sequence using a pseudo-programming
  language, which allows you to control how many times part of the sequence
  is played using a counter or logical expressions. (and other things I can't
  think of off-hand)

* Operation in the wimp environment.

The documentation assumes no previous contact with music sequencers, so any
one can use it.
