I really like the usability of my Alesis SR-16...I think it was discontinued a few years ago, it was a mid-late 90s type model. Lots of good sounds and it's been real easy to use.

There's loads of them, I think about 50 in Korg's own range, which cover various regular kit sounds, latin sounds, electronic sounds (mainly simmonds drum orientated, sadly), ethnic sounds, sfx, ad about a further 10-15 made by a company called Metrasound, which were mainy Linn and 808 sounds. They appear quite commonly on ebay, probably the best source for them really. Picks of the ones I have are India 1, (5 tabla sounds) japan 1, handclaps and fingersnaps, the Latin ones. Bad ones are the talking drum one and the rock(ambience) one. Sound effects ones are likely pretty useless. the one I want, which I've never seen is the drum box one.

I want to give props to the Boss Dr-660...for a long time it had the most bang for it's buck, tons of sounds, drums and otherwise, basic 808/909 type stuff c/o roland, bass/synthy sounds with basic editing, I wrote a whole song on one once...and these were around during that dry period before all these neo-analogs came around.
Personally, I own a DMX and a Drumtraks, but have always lusted after a 909, being the detroit techno fied I was for years.
But the best ever drum machine? The preset one built into this rack DJ mixer I borrowed from some guy in high school. If you held down two presets at once, say Rock and Bossanova, you got the best stuff.
