So, I'm a drummer mostly, but I like to play the piano and synths and record little song ideas. This is the best sounding drum machine on the planet - the groove is so good, the patterns are interesting and tasteful, and it's drop dead simple. Something other reviews and demos don't illustrate (at least in my research) is how the patterns simplify at lower tempos. Other machines have had a "complexity" slider and such, but this does it solely by tempo. And as expected, it does this very well. Occasionally I've wished I could keep a 60-80 bpm pattern going up above 80 bpm, etc. but that's a minor thing. This is just such an inspiring songwriting, practicing, and possibly open-mic-type performing tool. No, you can't edit patterns - I don't want to. No, you can't play in 5/8. That's a bummer and it would be nice to have a few swappable slots for downloading stuff like that. And finally, no MIDI which will definitely kill this device for a lot of people. I'd like it just so that it would sync to the little sequencer/recorder on my Yamaha Clavinova. But let's just call this the WORLD'S BEST SLIGHTLY OVERPRICED GROOVIEST METRONOME EVER.Read full review

The Korg KR-55 Pro drum machine... bought it after watching couple videos, so I knew it was a simple machine with no way to create your own patterns but I thought it would have Quality sounds at the very least.... NOP it is basically a toy in a very nice package, and should not have the word "Pro" in it's title. I shipped it back and bought an Alesis sr18. Very happy with the Alesis as for Korg will not purchase another product from them.

Decent Machine. Very Good Sound. Limited patch choices but covers the bases. Useful for practicing, developing song or for a single or duo playing live. Works good with foot pedal. Can fire fills with it.
