Lot's of people use drum machines. I have recorded full cd's with them
It is not as common today in rock/pop cuz everything is so raw and garage sounding like nickel back seether ect...
I used a roland r8 back in the day to program. I use to use an ensoniq asr
to trigger samples. Sometimes I would rent an AMS to trigger.
Today I use nuendo to sequence and steinberg lm to trigger. Sometimes I use drumadog.
In my opinon there is no standalone drum machine that sounds good for rock.,
you have to sample.
But for hiphip there are no rules and every or any drum machine ever invented can sound great on a rap record.
I'm working on a prog rock cd as we speak that the drummer programmed all his beats. We are going to overdub cymbals and hats and trigger kick, snare and toms. It sounds killer it sounds like the yes 90125 cd or like an old rush cd.
It is not modern sounding at all which I like. It is vaer polished and precise
