| It would seem the problem isn't the machines, but the players.  Keyboard

I would appreciate in future not being so blatantly misquoted.  The line "I
despise drum machines" came from an article I was responding to, not from my
article.  I happen to own a few electronic drum machines of varying levels of
usefulness, and happen to like them in certain situations.

Now, as I DID say in that article, in the studio it is often drummers who
program the machines, so it's good to see someone of Cobham's level of
dexterity writing instructive (are they?  any comments?) articles on the
subject.
