Cheap drum machines?

My band is slowly dissolving so me and the other guitarist are trying to form something new. We haven't been able to find anyone who plays drums and actually has drum gear so we're thinking of going with a drum machine for now.
We're trying to find something cheap and versatile. Like maybe around $120 or so.
Here's some ideas on the sound we're going for for drums:

I think we'll be going for the sr-16. My bandmate knows someone selling one for kinda cheap and it has some ok sounds. We'll be throwing some effects on it anyways to color the sound a bit.

theres some good kicks and snares on there, and a nice palette of percussion. FX will def take u farther!

it's more something to look for in smaller used gear shops, honestly.
