Drum Machine Advice Options

[jimmynitcher]

Hi, a drummer friend needs a drum machine to copy ideas from and help him set up complex polyrhythmic ideas etc is there one that's good for a programming novice or even one made for drummers to help with their technique?
Is there one perhaps that has visible grids that change depending on the meter you choose per drum as in a sequenecer on a computer?
cheers

I like the SR-16 for its flexibility

No expensive updates, no drivers, no operating system crashes. Press the button and it turns on. 4 analog outs and midi in/out thru.

With this type of thing there is no conflict with other pieces of software and it has an easy to use interface that does only a limited set of things. I think it is a nice piece to add to a studio, and can always be combined with other pieces, like software and hardware... plus you don't need the computer to use it, you can just plug it into the mixer and tap away...

But of course software has its advantages, too.
