is the roland HPD-15 a drum machine?whats the difference between a drum machine and a percussion controller? what is the best drum machine out there? your answer will be very much appreciated
The Roland HPD-15 is an electronic hand-percussion pad. That is, it's a device that hand percussionist (e.g., conga or bongo players) can strike with their hands to create sound. Much like the pads that stick drummers use.
So it's not really a drum machine, in the sense that you don't simply program it with a rhythm and start it playing. Neither is it just a controller, since it has its own sound generation circuits. Assumedly the MIDI output would allow you to use it as a controller of other devices, however.
