OK, like who for example has "used [drum machines] efficiently?" I listen
to a lot of music, of many different types, and can honestly say that I
have not heard anything commercially released  that can hold my interest
for more than 2 seconds. If you disagree, please lay out some "ramblings"
of your own, giving me fact or opinion for your disagreement. If you think
my posting rambled, well I'm no Shakespeare; but I feel my reasoning is
valid (about Time and its movement being flexible in good music); if
you don't I'd welcome a discussion with you. 

Your labeling my opinion as bowel movement, however, makes me suspect that
you are not interested in discussion, but in flaming anyone who does not
agree with you. I'd recommend you go listen to some of the people
I cited as shining examples of great rhythm.
