I've been a lover of drum machines since
owned my first Roland CR-78 (the first programmable machine).
What's bothered me is that one gets sick of sounds really
quickly.
Consequently, I think a really good solution is to
use something with a lot of prgrammability (and shite sounds)
like the tried and true Alesis SR16 which is fairly
inexpensive new at around $150 and then use a sampler
for the sounds.
These days there are a plethora of old, great sounding
samplers that are 16 bit for sale pretty cheap.
It takes a little more work because you have to find
sounds, but you are always current.
Then everything changed when I got FLStudio producers
edition which is the best drum machine in all history in my opinion and is a
very reasonable $149. It will take any .wav files on
your computer but, regrettfully takes either a laptop for live playing or,
a cheap solution.................burn 10 minute tracks onto CD and use a
portable CD player at your gig....................you can even loop the sounds
off the CD for your tracks.
