job.
Thank you!

I hate drum machines, personally, but from all the demands by the 
instructors for quickly changing times and speeds it seems to me that 
for a begginner at least, the easiest would be to take a notebook 
along with a library of drum patterns that can be mounted as the 
instructor explains what he wants and then freely adapted as he 
changes his mind. The advantage for the dancers would be that each 
repetition is exactly the same and for the musician it would be an 
oportunity to learn to play along and for the overall sound you would 
have a exact drum with someone playing more or less colorfull 
along... did you try that or am I completely wrong here?

And to bring back the looping side: once such a combination of 
patterns is established and repeated (if it is), you can place 
command notes for a loop tool into the MIDI sequence and such have it 
repeat automatically what is needed!
