This is an oldie but goodie. I really wish there was an update for it.

It Chokes! However - it also requires 16bit mono files and who has the time or will to convert all their excellent samples down?
In my case, the audio converter in AIMP took care of the problem in just a couple of minutes :-)
Bueno y facil uso
Won't play stereo files, other files I put in it say bad file. So it doesn't play anything. Computer music put this out? Ok I know it's free but it should do something at least. Maybe it can't handle Win 7 don't know.
But it works real good on my XP machine and even has a poly which helps since it can only play one sample.
Its a good machine, very tweakable. You just have to remember it only lads mono 16 bit files.

the hydrogen is free also, it comes with a few drum sets, but I don't think the sound is the greatest...you can't load your own drum sets, BUT from what comes with it, i just make the drum beats...the way they have this set up to make drum lines...is really easy, it is with out a doubt the easiest drum machine ever to program. I only use it to make midi drum files...it is not VST, it wont play in you DAW, BUT you can export the midi file to your DAW, you need a computer, not a cellphone or tablet.

THE BEST DRUM SET...SOFTDRUM BY FRETTEDSYNTH, here on vst4free also, get drum samples from freesound.org, there are many many sets like ludwig and mapex,pearl. People out there recorded all the individual drum pieces to make their sets. Take your midi drum line or you can download them from net, there millions of free midi drum patters you can download, run the midi drum pattern in your DAW, then assign your softsynth ...the softdrum, in each of the pads, assign a drum sample you got from freesound.org. When you do all this you will totally thank me for the coolest thing you ever learned from here - OR to make your own beats...to make sellable beats...get hydrogen drum machine, you can design long running drum machine, or little several measure beats, for looping, then export what you do in hydrogen as a MIDI file...once again open your DAW assign that midi file to a track, choose what drum pieces you want, then render that to a wav file...PRESTO, you just made a drum loop. When the sound of real drums is playing from your DAW, you will thank me for this. This will save you TONS of cash from buying all that Native Instrument crap vsthost shit that you cant run anything else in, or what ever software you see that claims they are the best...You will thank me for this. You cant run most of the plugins here in Native Instruments hosting. If you cant get something to run through your DAW, then get vsthost from here, run the plugin in this jhost, use the wav recorder from it, save the wav file to your folder that you have all your wav files stored, then open your DAW and assign that wav file to a track -your daw will auto BPM, BUT I suggest you, sync the BPM with both your DAW and the vsthost...it takes some doing to do all this, just like anything you have to practice...the pros are not using all that expense stuff, all what I am sharing is barebone essentials the pros use, they don't buy all that stuff you find in stores or magazines online - I am sharing these secrets because i want to hear more creativity in world than all this hiphop or pop where they all sound the same.

Works great, you have to remember to load samples or a sound bank before it will make any sounds... :)

Was a great VSt when first appeared. Got to work with it (it's easy just load its kits) on my Reaper 4 x64 and indeed can give good electro sounds, BUT when start adding tracks on DAW it freezes and sometimes crashed Reaper (!!) So lately I'm resampling it for use with Shortcircuit 1 sampler
I can't get any sound either, and I'm running Win XP 32-bit. The other CM plugins work fine. Not sure what's wrong here.

This is really good. Almost exactly what I was looking for

It looks promising, but I can't get no sound from SR202!
Could be because I'm running 64-bit and this is a 32-bit pugin
