Advice on a decent drum machine?

[mgoldhammer]

I'm thinking about getting a drum machine to use in recording at my home. I'm just wondering what a good model is...I care mostly about a crisp snare, and as long as the rest doesn't sound like techno beats, it'll be fine.

Thanks

DR202 is a cheap good all rounder...

Hey Cat:
Not Real sure what your budget for this project is or if you are Triggering Acoustic
Drums or using Pads but I have for several years now been a supporter of Alesis Gear
I own a D4,DM5 and the DMPro Which I can use
for just about any job I come across...
The last D4 I came across was about 125.00
in a pawn shop and I believe if you can't find the snare sound you are lookin for on it
you may not ever find it........But anyway
you really ought to check it out. Good Luck

Dr Wiz,

How do you like the DM Pro compared to the DM5? What are some of the big advantages? How about the sound differences? Thanks.
