this question sounds like someone is too busy using the machinedrum 
to think of a decent one... but if you like to know, its piss easy to 
use when compared to other desktop 16 track seq/sound generators... 
and for realistic percussive sound generation - very good, altho most 
sounds seem to have a signature machinedrum element to them, 
especially when using the onboard fx...to echo a previous comment, if 
i wanted real drum sounds i probably wouldnt use the machinedrum to 
generate them... but i would use the sequencer to arrange them!
