Re: Looper / Drum Machine guys - check out this pedal
The only street musician guitarists I saw with a drum component played along to a backing track that supplied both bass and drums. All the others I've seen play a style of music that sounds good as a solo act, no drummer intended. That pedal is clearly mimicking a full backing band drumming sound, so the absence of a bass part is going to be all the more noticeable in that context. It probably has a hand drum / percussionist patch that's more appropriate for a sparse, folk style, but they didn't show anything like that off in the video.
If we're being honest, the video presentation style and everything is not trying to impress street performers, it's aimed squarely at bedroom teenage guitarists who want to sound more like they're playing with a full band. And I say teenager because I think older players are less given to fantasy, are fine playing without fake drums and would rather not deal with it.
