In need of a good drum machine

I know it's old skool, but i loved the Adrenalinn 2.   Myself and a gitwrist buddy recorded some noodles with it. Just messing around to see if we could expand on the noodles at a later date. It's an  FX box too, so not a stand alone beat machine, but the drum tracks are pretty good

had a few drum machines over the years. the best one i have ever had and still use is the Boss Roland DR880 for lots of reasons.

1, The sounds... i have a roland TD12 expanded electronic kit, as good as the samples are in it, the dr880 drum samples sound better and more to the point still bang upto date,

2 editing and programing songs into it is a breeze,

the bass pre amp in it is great, you can plug your bass into it and play with the beats via headphones, loads of kits loads of bass sounds as well if you want fat moog its in there, slap bass, double bass, big fat kick a$$ synth rave bass, its all in there, usable guitar fx sound good bla bla bla

another great reason you can send the bass drum and the snare and the overheads to dedicated outputs so in your daw or what ever you use you can then record them on to seperate tracks so you can edit the bass drum and snare and eq them or get them up in the mix when you need to without affecting the rest of the kit, just this alone opens up all sorts of doors like sampling a bass drum or a snare and swapping it, or doubling up on a bass drum with another one, adding reverb to just the snare, compressing the bass drum by its self with out effecting the rest of the kit, options are endless.

If mine broke tomorow i would have to go out and get another the same day, my studo NEEDS it, most of the tracks i do are done on the dr880 they are that good you can release tracks using them.  in fact here is one i have released using it,  might give you an idea.  

good luck with what ever you get but for funk...... try it, you wont be sorry.
