Hello. I am just curious about how a drum machine works. Do you create different drum beats by pressing buttons? Is it complicated? I am interested and need some info if possible. Thanks.

You see inside a drum machine there are tinny little drummers your tracks depend on how well you treat your little drummer.......I take mine out for breakfast on sunday after we see a movie together.......I sometimes take him to DisneyLand whe he makes me a very good track the only problem is he can't get on any of the rides !!!!!!!!

-realtime recording: play the beats live
-steptime recording: program the beats in patterns by pushing the knob where you want to play
a sound. For example 1000100010001000 The one is a bassdrum, and every digit is a 16th note.
try Rebirth V2 (software)

Drum Machines like the TR 808 and TR 909 (By ROland) allow you to program in when to play a beat in each 16th of a bar. You do this for each instrument separatley and then save this "bar" as a pattern. You can save loads of different patterns so when you're playing live, you just change patterns and twiddle the knobs rather than actually hitting any beats. I find this very useful as I have no sense of rhythm, but decent pitch recognition.

on a drum machine, you usually have a bunch of buttons. each button is a different drum, percussion, noise sound. for drum machines with more sounds than buttons, you can change the sound for a button. anyway, you can push the buttons as you realtime record and get recorded what you played as you play it, or you can do step recording and insert your sounds at specific intervals and places in a pattern.

Re-birth is good, it incorporates drum machines as well as 2 synths.

There should be a freeware program called "leaf drums/z?" - A friend of mine got it and raves about it.
It has obvious limitations but it aint bad for beat production to start off with. It has a midi grid type thing (in 16th note resolution - i think) ... with a bunch of drum "samples", each different line corresonds to a different line. so it'd be similar to the 1000100010001000 as explained above (only each number fits in a different square - on the same row for the same drum): hope this is making sense.
eg: BD 1000100010001000 SD 0000100000001000 OH 0010001000100010
or so - ?
The good thing about leaf drum is that you can substitute your own samples in other rows .. so in effect it is like a little sampler thing ..
That combined with like Protools Free (which altho free chews up a lot of Ram) - to like compile different tracks and do effects and stuff?
