I haven’t heard any talk around here of the new Beatbuddy drum machine and I just got mine from their pre-ordering on kickstarter some months ago (info here: http://mybeatbuddy.com). It is so AWESOME!!! has incredible sounding drum samples that you can real time change (with your hands or feet), changing fills, adding crashes, sound fx, all staying in sync. And with external foot switches it sounds totally realistic and you can get so dynamic adding the fills and stuff. Very easy plug and play use, but very pro sounds inside…
Ive barely scratched the surface really and the software app and forum is not even available yet for added editing/creating/sharing.
Here are a couple quick vids i did with it synced using midi with the Elektron Analog Four and working quite well:

Please watch and comment, Im pretty new at this stuff so let me know… if theres much interest I could do more vids
