QUOTE (Mike Seddon @ Apr 5 2007, 03:55 AM)  Hi Guys, Just joined today and my first post. I play regularly with two other guitarists and we generally practice at each others homes. We'd like to start using a drum machine. I'm looking for some recoemmendations. Basically I'm looking or something which we can program various drum beats and ideally can also be operated by a foot switch because I'd like to be able to control the drum breaks (as well as stop and start the machine without having to constantly reach down). Is anyone using a drum machine and what are their thoughts? Thanks, Mike The Alesis SR16 is a classic and costs about $150 - I used one of these for years with sequencing software but you can get some great beats out of it as a standalone instrument. It has a footswitch, but its just for starting and stopping, I don;t think you can use it to trigger breaks, but you can program in an entire song with breaks in all the right places. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

If you just want a good basic model...Zoom makes the RhythmTrack. I think it runs:$99.00 or close to that.
