Fran said it better than I did.

He's totally "on point".

Ian's point about the ability to play in meter is right on, too. I can't tell you of the trained players I know who can't do it...have a TERRIBLE time with a drum machine.

Even my longest partner and teacher had a tendency to rush. We almost drowned our first drum machine in the hotel pool before it all came together.

Full piano mode and bass with drums from an arranger will go smoother and will make you a better player.


All the best...
