While I was at SOBII, the F*nd*r guys had some of their new product there called a B-DEC. Check it out at one of the online retailers. Much more than a drum machine. It's a great training device.

That looks like it could be a lot of fun. However, costs £300 over here, more than I want to spend really.

Look for Leaf Drums 2, it's a free software package that's really powerful.

I prefer it over any drum machine I've owned. :)

That would be good but I would need to upgrade my computer speakers and for various reasons I don't want to do that. Also I like the portability of a drum machine. I would be able to take it anywhere, plug into my Tascam CD-BT1 and play away.

Looks like it will be either a Boss or Alesis then.

the DR880 is pricey but you can plug directly into it and use headphones as the main out. Also, the sounds and beats are good and it's really easy to make your own. I bought it cause I was bored of playing with a sh!tty metronome, when I could be feeling a real beat. check it out!

Usually what I do is map them out (the songs I mean) and burn it to a CD. I find I can do it a lot faster with a keyboard and mouse and have (literally) infinite variety in the "drum" sounds I want to use. :)
