Okay yall may laugh at this one but I was looking through a catalog and came across a zoom MRT3B drum machine. This thing is dirt cheap at $100. Not that I'm on that bad of a budget I just don't have enough money at the moment for the Boss br-1600 which I'm hoping to purchase in the future for recording. So for $100 I could have a simple drum machine simply for practicing with and to actually have a drum beat being that I'm a 1 man band until I can afford a real drum machine/recorder and like I said $100 is nothing. So what do yall think?

bought it and it's a total peice of shit. I guess you get what you pay for. Bringin it back tomorrow and I'll just wait until I can afford a boss. The only thing this thing is good for is playing on it with your headphones at night when your high just for fun but like I said trying to lay down a simple track to play to on my guitar just plain out sucks. Thumbs way down on this one....but $100 I knew there had to be a reason for it being so cheap should have just used common sense.

Is it the user interface that sucks, or the sounds suck, or the assembly quality? I was eye-balling one of these, just to make some drum tracks to record to, and was tossing up between the Alesis and the Zoom.

It's just a major pain in the ass to add loop tracks together....and even though I set it up so that the beats are perfect it doesn't work...like say I'm doing 1 measure that consists of a simple boom boom snare boom....alot of the times the beats will end up hitting on the up beat or they end up spaced out after being recorded and believe me I hit them perfectly. I was trying to get 1 song track together and what took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to do on the dr rhythm dr-880 took me over 8 hours on this pos....and the final recording was completely horrible. It may have been defective but I spent well over 12 hours messing with it and in conclusion like I said buy it if you want something if your extremely bored at night and just want to play some cool beats because that's all it seems to be good for it's basically just a toy. $100 for a drum machine should make it obvious it's not going to be much but hey I took the chance and at least I was able to have the store that I bought it at just put the money I spent on that towards the boss br-880 which I love.
