Beginner Drum Machine User Question -- TR6S
I play piano bars and have been starting to use drum machines and loopers in my shows. I have a Boss RC-505 mkII looper that I use a lot, and sometimes use its built in drum beats, which are pretty good. However, for the most part it forces me into one beat that I can't change mid song extremely quickly. Plus I have to choose from its presets.
A friend of mine showed me his Roland TR-6S and I really liked it. I bought one myself last week, though I did not realize that all of its built in features are electric kits. I was wondering if it made sense for me to upload acoustic sounds into it and try to build some of those rock-kit type sounds out for myself, or if there is a better machine out there for me.
I really like the TR-6S's ability to make lots of variations, adjust the volume of individual parts of the kit, etc. And I'm sure I'll play around with the electric sounds too. But I also want a good selection of things for my rock 'n' roll and pop/dance requests.
Thanks all! Appreciate your advice.
