Hey..I don't play drums..so be nice I'm getting a BR-8 next weekend at this huge Roland/Boss sale where they're discounting a whole heap of stuff. Anyway, I don't know how to play drums..but I understand timing and theory etc so I figure I'll get myself a drum machine and lay down drum tracks for my songs on my own. Unfortunately, I know nothing about what a drum machine can do, so I don't know how much I need to shell out to get one that suits my purpose.
I don't need any super fancy techno sounding drum beats, or any samba thumps or drums that sound like rockets taking off. I just need something that will give me a standard drumkit sound, where I can define the time signature and speed, and beats per bar for all the things on the kit, and something I can program to do all the changes within a song etc.
Any advice/suggestions?
