in short yes http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-RT223-Rhythm-Tr...1883&sr=1-4
but you would be better off geting ez drummer spending the same amount of time learning it as you would a drum machine and with free reaper (DAW) you would be that much closer to recording |

I don't know any hardware machine, I use EZ drummer for this and it's very cool. However It seems that jst suggestions is very close to what you are looking for...

You can find a lot type of drum machine. Now depend how much money you want to spend. But to be honest, I will not recomand something like that because they don't have a realistic sound even the manufacturer mention they have natural drum sound but this is not true. It's much better with software program because you can learn in a GMC mentoring program how to make the sound of drum to be more natural  Drum machine it's a good investition if you want to make some electronic music. In this particular case some of drum machine match very good and you can make really nice things with them. If I will decide someday to make some electro music, maybe I will try something like this: http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/machinedrum.php |

QUOTE (Kizaze44 @ Dec 10 2013, 07:03 PM)  Hello Friends, Does anyone know of simple drum machine (not software) or beat box that has a bunch of preset rock beats? Seems that everything I'm finding is jam-packed with knobs and settings - too much for me. Ideally this would have a speaker - something very simple where one could simply turn it on, select a beat, a bpm, and start jamming. Does something like this exist? Best, Kizaze Boss DR-3 rhythm machine could be an interesting option for this. Check it out in action : I never had the unit but it seems to be versatile and nice sounding with some cool options. Boss also has more advanced version DR-670 and DR-880 which are very interesting units. As an alternative for a similar cost you could maybe get a netbook laptop and run EzDrummer or some other VST on it. But - hardware drum machine could more handy

JSTCRSN is right on the money here. EZ Drummer and Reaper will run on just about any computer/laptop and sound decent and it's EZ to use. I can't imagine going back to a drum machine? But hey to each his own
