I am a new Logic user (bought the Big Box last year) and overall have been very happy with the way Logic has helped me record my music.
I have been a bit frustrated by drum sounds however. I was looking for a fun and relatively easy (easier than pounding out the beats on my keyboard) way to add neat beats to my songs.
I tried an old Roland drum machine, but felt it was too complicated for what I wanted.
I then looked at Groove Agent but heard many horror stories about how it does not play well with Logic. I tried iDrum, which looked to be perfect, but I cannot get Logic to recognize it. I have not been able to find anyone at Glaresoft or Apple who can help me.
Can I make drums sounds in GarageBand that are usable in Logic? What is the quality of these sounds?
My musical style is classic rock/folk rock. I thought about Specrasonic's Stylus product, but it seems a bit dance oriented and maybe a bit pricey for my needs.
Anything else I am missing? Does anyone have any ideas for me.
Many thanks for your help and consideration.

I highly recommend Stylus. I use it with Logic 6 Platinum without any problems. The quality of the sound is excellent, it's versatile, and it has just about eveything, even rock, that one could want. Spectrasonics is also coming out with an upgrade, Stylus RMX, in September (free I believe to buyers in 2004 of Stylus). The pre-release reviews of this new RMX program are nothing short of fabulous.
