Finding a cheap second hand drum machine
Tom from Leicester contacted me a while back asking for advice on ways he could set up some simple drum loops to play along with.
Now Tom has decided to buy a fully fledged dedicated drum machine and is looking for something that sounds good but is not over expensive...
Hey Kenny!
Can you help? I want a simple drum machine to give me some basic rock and pop rhythms to back me when I am playing guitar. Don't need to programme any stuff. Just plug it into an amp and operate with a footswitch. Don't want to spend a load on it. Got any ideas?

Hi Tom
If it's a hardware drum machine you're looking for and you don't want to spend a lot, then the ideal place to look is eBay.
Do a search by typing in to the search box below for Alesis drum machine, Roland drum machine, Boss drum machine, Korg drum machine, Yamaha drum machine and any other manufacturers you can think of and try to find someone on eBay who's selling off a good cheap second-hand drum machine.
The great thing about buying something like this second-hand is that if it is in perfect working order then it will sound every bit as good as when it was new.
Certainly the buttons and casing may wear or scratch with age but the sounds will still be as good as they were the day the seller bought it.
If you want to get an ever cheaper deal on a drum machine, go to http://www.mp3backingtrax.com/ebay/ and type in the manufacturers name and it'll bring up a list of MIS-SPELLED ebay listings.
The idea behind eBay mis-spellings is that if a seller has mis-spelled an item, then less prospective buyers will find the listing, less people will be bidding on it, and it'll probably sell for less than it would have if the seller had listed it correctly.
You could end up getting a real cheap bargain, not just on drum machines but also any musical equipment.
Sellers often mis-spell words like sennheiser and behringer and peavy and lots of others...
