	I am trying to decide which Drum/Percussion machine/module to
buy.  At the moment I have a Roland  R8M + u220 drum sounds + W30.  
	
	How does the R8M compare to machines like the

	ALESIS sr-16, Hr-16, D4.
	EMU Pro/cussion.
	or any other drum machines that might be out there.	

	Is their any kind of industry standard, like the S1000 
is for samplers.

	One thing I feel is missing from my current system is the 
trigger pads that you get with machines such as the sr-16. Is it worth
buying a machine like this just for the triggering capabilities ?

	Anyway  all views, experiences, oppinions and suggestions
would be a big help.



				Thanks in advance.
