Drummer features one hundred drum "Patterns", including user programs.Each Pattern can be assigned one of 100 rhythmic "Feels", a tempo, time signature. and one of eight "Extra Percussion" settings, creating a Drummer "Preset". It is these "Feels" that give Drummer its characteristically human fiavor. Each Preset can be assigned to play one of the sixteen programmable "Kits" in the Drummer, used to organize the percussion and drum sounds in your rig. Presets can be strung together in up to sixteen full "Songs".

Dynamics, fills. and other features can all be set to follow and respond to your MIDI performance in one of the unique Drummer "Jam" modes. Files can be saved and loaded via MIDI. Four footswitch jacks allow for real time performance control of the Oberheim Drummer.

With over 10,000 different rhythm possibilities, the Drummer has just about everything needed to expand drum programming. In addition, there is a built in sequencer which will allow new patterns to be recorded. Finally, if that was not enough. the Drummer has an interactive mode called "Jam" which will follow the tempo set by MIDI IN data (from a keyboard or drum trigger).
