Y'know, so I can go drum machine-->fuzz-->amp-->ears-->brain-->dance/"play" guitar. Baring in mind I know nothing of drum machines, live in the UK and prefer something cheap and readily available, you wonderful people.

Fanks.

I've had quite a few and have to say for the price a Korg Electribe ER to be the best for under $200. If you can get the MKII one with the metal plate that one is the better of the 2 they made also. The sequencer and interface is a breeze to work with, sounds really good, synthesizes drums so you can really tweak them like no tomorrow and it has 2 inputs you can run a guitar or whatever into it and perfectly control a gate on it. And the you can add effects bpmed to your guitar. It sounds great too and works very well with Devi Ever pedals. I use a bunch on mine and they work real good with them especially the Manglers!

I know it's not actually a drum machine but if you just want a beat how about one of these http://4ms.org/projects/?cat=16

if you have an iTouch or iPhone you can probably download a drum machine app for free/cheap

At Toys R Us, I found a really cool Spongebob one that I proceeded to buy and bend the crap out of it. It' was actually pretty damn good.

I live for these kinds of things.


Ummm...

I know Zoom makes an affordable drum machine.

And the Alesis HR-16/HR-16:B/SR-16 units are popular and affordable.

What else?... I know there was at least one other one I was going to mention, but now I can't remember......

EDIT: And just FYI, the HR units are pretty fucking big, if that's a problem.

in that Billy Corgan thread there was a link to an interview and i was pretty surprised to find out that the Alesis HR-16 was used for "1979." i think that is pretty killer. i think Le Tigre also used that drum-machine for a bit as well.

i think that is pretty killer.

was this recently? would love to grab one.

i saw a yo gabba gabba keyboard at target a few weeks ago but it was kinda crappy (not all the keys could be pressed) but it made some cool sounds.

roland tr 626 is pretty nice, small and portable (runs on batteries). i think they go on ebay for like 20 bucks or somethin ridiculous. nice roland style drum machine.

i circuit bent a yamaha dd-5 and it sounds fuckin weird. if you're into circuit bending i'd go for this cuz it's like a 30 dollar shitty ass drum machine but you can get a plethora of crazy noises out of it and it's practically made to be circuit bent.
