And there are some things you can do on a drum machine that a live drummer can't do (because you have ten fingers to hit drum machine buttons, each holding a different sound, while drummers only have two sticks and a foot petal ).

I don't know...both acoustic instruments and electronic instruments both require a high level of skill to master...why get into this debate? it's all music. how could you have a preference over the form of instrumentation when it's all organized noise? the best music is the best composition of random sounds...where the sounds originate from seems moot to me in one's enjoyment of the final composition.

Spread love,
