Can you recommend a good drum machine?

Question

I have played mostly classical guitar for the last 20 years but I have an amp and electric guitar too. I just got a looper pedal and I want to jam with some drums but I don't have a drummer. How can I just get a good rock or blues beat to jam to? Can I hook it up to a stereo with audio out cables? Thanks!

Answer 1

the SR-16 by Alesis. It's my first drum machine and is only $150. Its easy to learn how to use it to. Have fun with it

Answer 2

This is the one I have. Its good. Mid-priced. You can run it through your stereo speakers if your system has a MIDI or TRS input. If not, you can get an adaptor I believe. Idk if anyone makes a drum machine with audio cable outputs, but if they did, it might be a cheapy. You're better off running it through an amp like I do.

Get tuxguitar, change the default track to a percussion track, go to view > show matrix, click away. After you do that, export it as a midi file, look up online midi to mp3 on google, and convert it to an mp3. Load the mp3 into your daw and play away.
