Jamstix is a virtual drum software which emulates a drummer within your sequencer/host. Other drum machines give static MIDI patterns, Jamstix on the other hand features a real time human simulation, like having a drummer, it even has the calculation of the time a drummers arm moves from drum A to drum B. This limits the sequence you can create to only grooves that can be achieved by 2 handed humans. It also allows for unique grooves and variations since the drum grooves are created based on rules and not on static patterns.
