Truth

I bought my first drum machine a Panasonic something-or-other. It was pretty basic, with only three instruments -- the snare, bass drum and cymbal and four or six preset rhythms. You could also play it manually by tapping on three tiny buttons. If you would guess that playing the "drums" with such a setup would be difficult, you would be correct. By way of comparison, my present drum machine has some 400 preset sampled drum patterns, and another 400 slots you can add new ones to; 16 full drum kits; room to store up to 99 complete songs; and 7 large switchable force-sensitive keypads. I still wouldn't want to attempt playing real-time drums, though I imagine I could make an unholy -- if erratic -- racket with it.

I kind of liked this song -- so much so, that I restarted it a couple of minutes in, when I decided that my posture -- probably on the couch, flat on my back -- wasn't consonant with best performance standards. The verses aren't anything special, but the chorus had a nice melody.
