I think it was Phil Collins who said "Any drummer who can be replaced by a drum machine deserves it." No program or device has yet managed to create the equal of Ringo, Jeff Porcaro, Stew, or Buddy Rich.... I think it was Chris Taylor of the Payolas who, as a session drummer, spent a good many tracks just programming drum machines (and also keyboards) so they could sound like 'real' drummers. (and keyboardists)

This was cool Stew. I was in my 20s in the 80s and was into Prince so I was well aware of the Linn but couldn't afford it. I settled with the Oberhiem DX which I still have and still works like a champ. I must have bought it around 83'-84'. It has individual outs and tuning like the Linn. I still like that Linn sound though.

Mixing the 2 worlds turns out to be a plus for live and studio recordings. Thank you both for your incredible avenues of musical contribution! I could NEVER conceive that a Police record would sound anywhere near Mr. Stewart's LIVE playing though. NOTHING beats that human emotional feel there!

In the 80's as a music fan absolutely preferred a traditional drummer to an electronic device. As a guitar player I played into the drum machine mentality totally with the far away glaze of "When I get a drummer then ..." but I kept working with the drum machine for convenience. Sorry drummers everywhere.....

J.J Cale was sometime using a drum machine in concert in the 80s. He said something along the lines of "it doesn't complain, have an off night, nor steal your girlfriend". He said that while his longtime drummer, Jimmy Karstein, was on stage with him relegated to the congas and maracas. The older I get the stranger the 80s looks in hindsight. Cheers

Stew was so right calling this "a demonic instrument". I am an old drummer from the early 80s and i hated this machine ,without really thinking about it in the terms copeland does. I never felt threaten by it, i just hated the fact that you didnt need to have any rythm in you in order to press some buttons.
