>a drum machine can play the drums better than any drummer
If you're talking about keeping in time then why wouldn't a computer be better?

no human feeling, guess it depends on type of music but yea

you can make drums sound human on a drum machine just listen to j dilla
>>65720170
didn't j dilla only use samples?
>>65720170
>you can make drums sound human on a drum machine
more like listen to death grips
>>65720150
That's untrue. A drum machine can sound incredibly human, it's just tedious and requires lots of experience to do so, at least compared to actual drumming which is instant, visceral. With a drum machine you must immolate articulation which is the difficult part

yea but can a drum machine react to group dynamics with the other players in the band? there is a whole spectrum of subtleties and slight temp and feel changes that are hallmarks of all great live performances throughout the years
just my opinion i guess, mabye i'm too old fashioned

*tempo and feel changes
>>65719870
this is literally akin to saying, "a computer can play a piano better than a human! LoL!"
"a computer can play 40 notes at once! LoL!"
not thinking that anything actually WORTH playing has and can be done by a human composing it. you've never listened to anything and thought, "gee this is really empty, wish they used a computer to fill in all the notes that 10 fingered human can't play"
just apply this example to things like speed, precision, and consistently and you'll realize why you're a troll bait-tard OP

but i greentexted it, that means i'm mocking it

If you're using a drum machine live, you're probably playing some sort of brutal death metal for an audience of 7 people and you probably don't care too much about tempo change or dynamics
>>65721323
or your making almost any electronic music, or new wave, or hip hop
>>65721323
>brutal death metal
uhh no people use drum machine lives literally all the time
>>65719870
Pic related, enough said.
>band has two drum machines

and also to elaborate on this, consider that a human being is still a more incredible "machine" then any computer yet build,
and furthermore, check out this video

believe me when I say half of the fun of playing OR listening to a "drummer" comes from the fact that these rhythms and variations are being SPONTANEOUSLY generated "on the spot' as opposed to "programmed" in advance,
its the same attraction as having a conversation with an author in addition to or opposed to reading what they've already written
