I'm not sure what you're asking here, but I get the sense that you're frustrated with learning how to program the machine?
I've got a Boss DR-700, not
a DR3, but I can say is that it takes most people a rather long time to learn how to use most drum machines. It also takes a lot of time to program them even
after you've learned how. I've seen lots of CDs that actually give somebody a credit for programming the drum machine -- as if it were like playing an instrument -- and I think that says something about the degree of difficulty involved.
My best advice, for what it's worth, is to play with it and futz with it and get to know it. (I'm talking about the drum maching here.) Just accept that fact that it will eat up a lot of your time, and remind yourself that no matter how frustrating it may be, it's probably still
less time-intensive and
less labor-intensive than teaching a drummer your songs, micing the drummer, recording the drummer, and keeping the drummer out of your refrigerator the whole time.
