Anyone in here have some experience with being in a band or solo jamming with a drum machine vs knowing a real drummer? I play guitar and have been kicking around the idea of picking up a drum machine to attempt covers and trying to expand on some ideas of my own. I don’t really know much about these things. Just looking for some general tips like: what are some solid affordable options, what’s ideal as far as what they offer, and what kind of machines would sound as authentic as possible without passing the 3-400$ mark. Any input is awesome even if I happen to have stumbled into the wrong group for this kind of advice.
