WHAT DRUM MACHINE DO I BUY?!?!?!?

[pisces7378]

Can anyone tell me what drum machine to buy? Does the BOSS JS-5 Jam Station sound like real drums and can I program it completely to do whatever I want it to do when I want it. This includes MANY stops and starts, and MANY time changes. 120 Beats/min. to 60bpm and back. Anyway, Is it a good machine. Is the Roland TD-8 the BEST or only the most expensive? What is the best for around $500? Someone please help me. I am in Germany and can't speak German. I live here. No one can help me here. Someone tell me what to buy.

Thanks,
Mike

First of all the TD-8 is a drum module, that's why it's a lot more expensive. A drum module is the brain of an electronic kit, you plug pads into it and play it. Although the TD-8 has some programming functions, they won't be better than a drummachine.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about drummachines. I'm sure there will be some others who use one and they will be able to help you. But I have heard good things about the Boss Dr.Rhythm (I think) and the Roland groove something.

Sorry, not much help
