Probably spent up to £200, maybe more though depending.

Not really to bothered about features as long as it does what it's suppose to! Laughing

Drum machine as the one used in the Kano and Craig David video where you tap the box and the beats sound in the order you tap it? I'd love one of those,cool and hell those :rock:

Cheers for the replys lads!!

Tigerland - I've not seen that video, but I've got a feeling it might be a sequencer rather than a drum machine like the Akai MPC. Is it like the one the guy uses in the Jay Z/ Linkin Park - Encore/Numb video??

i think limp bizkit uses the Akai MPC. i got a pic of DJ Lethal in one of the books. ill try n dig it up and see what it is exactly and get back to ya




Couldnt find the exact model of it but it is an Akai and it looks like an MPC. probably one of the top end ones. i think one may have been the MPC2500 but they carry a big price
