yo jonathon you must check out the group drumsnspace... they use 2 sp808's. It's a group comprised of two drummers playing the same acous drum kit and two octapads along with triggering live from the octopads the sp808's. it's the oppostie of most live pa's as it's two drummer playing live beats and all the other music is loops....they rock and play at 111 minna very often. drumznspace....
I'm not saying that roland unit is great but I couldn't believe what they do with them, I was like whoah they're getting back at us for the drum machine.
