Practicing to a drum machine... - looking for a drum machine recommendation

[benbaboon]

Hi,
I'm considering getting a drum machine.... something to keep a steady beat I can lock back into from riffs.... but a little more exciting then my Dr. Beat metronome...
any recommendation?
I was contemplating the Roland Boss DR-5 or DR-770? anyone had experience with those?
thanks,
bb

that sounds like a good idea, though i don't know too much about drum machines, and refuse to use them out of princible, but i think i would definately beat using a metronome. sorry i cant help you with the machine.
