    Default A drum machine for dummies

    Hi,

    I was just wondering if anyone new of a easy to use Drum Machine; I was thinking it would be fun to spice up my practices. I know lots of drum machines and or software are pretty complicated so simplye and easy to use is a must. Thanks

    I've noodled with a few of these on-line machines and they are not for me. If I'm going to bother sitting at it and program it, I'll do the same thing in Reason and can use it again (plus I have the program from DJing).

    After a bit of research and lots of demo-ing in stores, I've found a tool that I think will do all what I want: Zoom R8. It looks like quite a beast, but it can do the whole drum-machine bit and run patterns in sequence (think multi bar loops). I've not got it but seen some cool demos on YouTube that show its simple and complex sides. Full review coming!

    Can totally recommend the Alesis SR16 drum machine. Loads on eBay for not a lot of money. Have a google. Very well respected.

    If one is looking to purchase something, I like EZ-Drummer, myself. I find I can be more creative with writing to real drum patterns. As well, things go much faster for me when I'm not busy creating drum patters and concentrating on bass.

    The alesis sr18 is pretty good and simple. You can pick them up for 100 to 150 on ebay
