Alesis SR-16 Drum Machine
For my first and only drum machine, the Sr-16 is extremely user friendly. After looking through the owner's manual for a few short minutes, I was creating and storing my own patterns.
The SR-16 has twelve pads, each of which can be assigned a different tone from it's internal library. You can choose between using the touch sensitive pads or setting the kit to a fixed volume.
The huge dynamic range of the SR-16's pads was a bit too much for me to manage, so it's easier for me to layer the beats one tone at a time and select the appropriate fixed volume for each piece as I lay it down.
Technology moves fast, but the SR-16 has been around for a long time and still stands up in terms of sound quality. Since they've sort of become "yesterday's" model, you can usually pick one up pretty cheap. With today's technology, you can find pretty good prices on lower-end units packed with features, but even though the SR-16 is fairly basic, the things it does are done very well.
The SR-16 might not be the first choice for a high-tech MIDI studio, but the sound quality is great for working out song ideas. I mainly use mine for home demo recordings on my digital 8-track, and with well programmed beats mixed with a little EQ tweaking, things can end up sounding fairly polished.

The SR-16
I've had my SR-16 for over a decade now and I 'm glad I own it. I record with it, practice with it and jam with my friends with it. Good real sounds, a lot of them. I used the presets a bunch before writing with it.Good connectivity in back, I like the overall layout.Its definatly a timex as far as durability in concerned.I can see why alesis is still selling them!!

Still great after all these years
The Alesis SR-16 Drum Machine was the first really pro qulaity drum machine and amaizngly after over 15 years still can hold it's own against the competition.
I think the best features of the SR-16 are 3 fold, it's sounds are very good samples of natural drums, you can layer sounds to give it a flexibility in tone shaping that's really unexpected in such a small (and inexpensive) box, and the simple sequencers both easy and fun to use.
A great songwriting, practice and demo beat box that will likely remain with you far longer than you'd expect, the SR-16 really is still great after all these years.

15 Years Old - Still Kicking
The SR-16 was one of the first MIDI devices I used. All the way back in grade school a music teacher had us 10 year olds programming one of these things. While the sounds, features, styling, etc. are getting to be incrediably dated, this machine may still be usefull for you if all you want is an easy to use device with some semi-realistic drum samples and an easy sequencer. A groove box this is not, guitarists and songwriters will find this most usefull as a song writing aid.

Real Drum Sounds.
I have used this unit on a number of projects to provide real drum sounds. There are many more expensive units out there, but if you are looking for an easy to use drum machine with authentic sounds this is for you.
