I Rep That- Drumbot

Online Band in a Box

Drumbot.com http://www.drumbot.com/index.html makes an exceptional set of tools musicians can use to create drum tracks, save them, and export. The guitar tools allow beginners like me to drop chords onto a timeline and create our very own riffs. What even better? It's free.
