drum machines...

afterthefact · 02.22.2007, 02:32 PM

I was thinkin' about getting a drum machine, something to just goof around on. Any ideas on what I should purchase? Keep in mind I'm on a small budget.

Alesis SR-16. I got mine for 80 dollars and it is pretty good.

I want an analog drum machine though now. There is something about synthesized drum sounds you know?

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the synth sounding drums. I'll look into some of those, thanks for the suggestions...

Ya, sampling sequencers are sweet. Eventually I wanna get one.

Do you have one? That's the first step...you get the hang of it with trial and error.

I'm biased, but anyone who wants a band and can't find a real drummer should invest in a drum machine.
