Practice Tonight: Practicing 2 new songs

Tonight we're practicing again. We only practice for 2 hours every week. I wish we could do more but it's just too expensive. I want to buy a drum machine, not drum software for the computer; I want something that can run on batteries that I can fit into my backpack so I can carry it around with me. Honestly, I haven't done any research on the hardware out there, but I'm all ears if anyone has any experience with drum machines.

I'm pretty sure it was in an interview with like glass... Block party, that's right. In an interview in what I think was an article in Fader magazine, they profiled the singer and asked him how they wrote their songs. He had said, they always start with the beat. I think that's where we're headed. Plus I feel bad making stan play the same beat for 30 minutes straight. Sorry Stan. What would you all think if we started using electronic beats and samples? I'm thinking about it. Remember our first show in the garage of someone's house?

Anyway, I'll end my rant with photos of the drum machines I'm thinking about purchasing. If you know about drum machines, email me and maybe I won't end up getting something that sucks. Thanks!
