Hello,
i am looking for a decent but inexpensive drum machine. I dont want to "build " feels at first....but may later.
I had ordered a "zoom" drum machine but found out earlier this week it is on back order for several months. it had high reviews and its featires would clearly cover all feels and styles.
Guess i'm still in the market. Drum machine or downloadable feels/trax. Any suggestions?
And please forgive me if this is the wrong venue for this question. If u would kindly direct me tothe correct dept.?
thanks

Hydrogen is the best free drum machine I've come across.. I use it religiously.

You'll want to hunt around for the 'Ultra Acoustic' kit, it sounds absolutely fantastic.

For a more portable solution, I use the Korg DS-10 to set up beats. Has that old-school synthesizer sound, but is still useful for practicing.
