Do any of you guys have the boss drum machines or any of those resonably priced drum machines that you could post clips of mabye 5-10 different drum kits in a fairly short clip so i can see what the samples are like...
Go here http://www.soundclick.com/crowscrown All of the songs on here where done with a DR5 drum machine except for "Spring fever" & "Midnight sun", I played an electric drum kit for those. Also, some of the the more electronic based music on there was done with a yamaha sequencer, you'll be able to tell the difference.
I use a Boss DR3 for demoing songs, and for jamming when it's just me and the other guitarist. It's versatile, sounds good, and has a short learning curve. Within an hour you will be writing drum parts.
