Boss DR3 Drum

The machine is not bad. Have written alot of songs with the help of the drum machine. Wish the adaptor and foot pedal were also included. This machine will eat batteries quickly so get the adaptor.

this is good stuff

yeah it takes a week to learn how to use it but after you learn you can do plenty of things the point is, is that it gets the job done and the reason why he says its sounds like it came out of a casio keyboard is becuse he most likly dident hook it up to a bass amplifier, that makes it sound real good

Calm down guys

Ok, this is definitely not like a $1000 drum machine but if you guys start plugging it to a bass amp or guitar amp, ofcourse it will sound bad. Use a good mixer and a good set of home speakers. Just hit menu and play around and you will find a lot of features...easy to use. Just hitting the bottons won't do you any good. Know what you're hitting and it'll be good. If you wanna check out the quality of this machine, go to youtube or myspace and search for sailesh shrestha and check out my demos. They are awsome.

What the heck?

See if you guys print this.. I used to use a SR-16 and it was easy to use. I wanted to get rid of it because I needed to move on to more options for recording. I boiught the DR-3.. I'm not stupid.. but what the hell? I don't have all week to study this thing. I can't even figure out how to lose the bass. I don't want to "jam", I want to record.I'm surprised that somebody hasn't stepped up to the plate and make a SIMPLE versitile drum machine yet (beyond the sr16)..

Save your money

Save your money!! This is not worth the $179.00 dollars it is sold for. The drums sound like something out of my daughter?s cheap casio keyboard. The base over powers the drums and they also sound not so believable. I am sure that there is a way to lower the base on this thing but I also do not have a week to study the manual. This drum machine is not the best thing on the market so save your money for something better. And yes it is hard to use if you want to make your own music.
