Rhythm

Allen · Post by **Allen** » 6 Jan 2001 12:40 pm

I have been looking for something simple to use for rhythm while practicing/playing. A metronome just dosen't cut it.
My instructor showed me what he uses, a Korg Super Drums, DD-110. That fits what I am looking for. Problem is I don't think Korg makes it any more. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a similar device? Or do you know where I might find a DD-110?
Thanks

Here is some free software written by a steel player. Your computer can become something better than a metronome.

Download "Basic Beats". I like it.

The best drum machine for the price is the Alesis SR16. It is usually priced around $199 new and I've seem them for sale on here for less than $125. It has 50 pre-programmed drum patterns and will take care of anything except a 3/4 beat. You'll have to program that in, but it's fairly easy.

There are other drum machines around but for the price it can't be beat.

You can program 3/4 rhythms on the SR-16.

I found a little download that emulates a cheap drum machine right on your computer. It's really meant for the techno crowd, but with a little fooling around you can create your own patterns. Good enough for practice, and best of all, it's free.

You guys are wonderful. Again the forum comes to the rescue of a newbie.
