Hi all! I've been playing drums professionally for nearly 15 years and have up until now, (I am little emabrrased to say) never gotten into the 'electronic' side of things. I am looking to getting into programming my own clicks with shakers etc to have in my cans whilst sending other stuff, percussion or whatever out front. Please (and remember that you are speaking to a lamen on this subject!) can you give me some advice on what gear to try out. I know that there a loads of names of gear, such as mpc's for example but everytime I have played with clicks and loops etc, this has already been programmed up in advance and I have simply gone in, put the cans on and played along! Speaking as someone who has never really had to deal with programming clicks and percussion etc, where would be a good place to start and give me an understanding in this field? ... cheers in advance!

For programming clics and loop type feels the Alesis SR16 is a very good and inexpensive choice, very simple to program. For monitoring, you can buy any type of Behrenger mixer very cheap and when I say cheap..... 10 channel board with built in 24bit effects, 10 XLR channels with phantom power all for 300 bucks. That's a steal, so you can plug the drum machine into the board along with whatever drums you want to mic and then send a line to the house, you can split the outs of the drum machine so that 1 side stays behind to just your headphone mix and the other goes to the mixing console. Or if you don't need a board just buy a headphone amp. Again these can be bought very cheap as well.
