Evidently John Lennon gave Julian Lennon a Drum Machine for Christmas in 1973 edit

drum machine = drum synth + sequencer = edit

seems to me the set of topics that need to be combined or linked are.. (probably not in the right order)

 electronic music
   sound synthesis
     drum sound synthesis
     sequencers
     drum machines (which is essentially a drum synth plus a sequencer)
     rhythm programming

Also, lets not forgot that you can "play" midi-equipped drum machines using a keyboard (or even a windsynth!) as well as drum pads. In that sence the "drum machine" is being a "drum-synth" by not using the sequencer part. Boxes such as the Alesis D4 are "drum machines" *without* a built-in sequencer.

Thanks edit

Well done to all the people who wrote all this i found it extremely helpful for my music project. Well Done. By the way i dont think people, like me, should be able to change the web page so easily! (I didnt change anything) i just added this. Well done anyway
