I have yet to own an arranger that didn't have enough drum patterns/styles to cover any request I received. For more specific needs, I have programmed, recorded etc to get exactly the feel I desire, but your solid, dance beats are all in there ... in every one on the market. Sometimes, they are named a bit differently from what you'd expect, but when it comes down to it, at least in western dance music, there are only 10-20 styles of rhythm needed to make the people dance. 90% of the dance beats I use can be covered with about 10. We've discussed this before - Roland started with a plug in card called "Easy 8" that had enough starter beats to cover almost any dance request. It was a "Swiss Army Knife" of patterns.

I still have an Easy Eight card
