Case in point: for the Cobblestone Jazz show that happened here a few months back, Matt Jonson's rider stipulated a TR909 and the promoters had to scramble to find one. There has to be a reason for that.
uhh, maybe the reason is because he owns a 909 and he rehearses with one?

are we REALLY going to have this debate in 2008? it doesn't make one bit of difference whether you have the real thing or a software emulation at this point. it isn't going to make your music any better.
