Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Is It Live - Or Is It Memorex?

My ideal choice would be to have a drummer play with
us.  After begging my brother in law and my partner's
brother to buy drums (both are great drummers) for
over a year I gave up.  There's something about canned
drums (CD or otherwise) that just really bugs me. It
doesn't feel genuine even though every note and drum
beat is mine or my buddies.  Plus with a drummer you
can do things with songs (extend solos etc) that can't
be done with canned sounds.  The songs I enjoy doing
the most are the ones that the drum doesn't really
need to be there and so, we don't do the canned
drummer.  Some songs though sound semi empty without
the drums.  Most of the "gigs" we do are small crowds
where we know most of the people and they don't really
care about the canned drums.  I'm still hoping one of
those guys will buy the darned drums!  A live drummer
is a huge presence.  But,
meanwhile......................
