Sick of trying to rock out to a metronome like its a real drummer? The Korg KR mini compact rhythm machine spices up your solo practice with 60 amazing drum patterns and 120 fills covering a variety of popular musical styles. Thats only the beginning. Despite its diminutive size, the KR mini features 16 velocity-sensitive performance pads, which let you program your own natural-sounding drum grooves. Theres also a chaining function onboard that lets you string together pattern and fill to create whole songs. A pair of jacks let you connect standard footswitches (optiona;l, not included) to the KR mini, allowing you to start and stop playback and trigger fills on the fly. And since it can run off batteries and have its own built-in speaker, you can jam anywhere along with your Korg KR mini.
