Thanks for the insights/feedback.

I think the WYSIWYG aspect of the Tascam Model 12 is appealing. But then would I be frustrated with the diminutive screen and wonky navigation system required to use the screen?

The Zoom R-20 has a bigger screen... but seems to have fewer surface controls for commonly adjusted parameters.

Ultimately setting up the rhythm track is one of my weaknesses. Perhaps if I got better at it, or got something like EZ-Drummer, then I wouldn't be AS FRUSTRATED with using GarageBand on a computer.

But... I'm not so sure.

So the uncertainty and interlocking unanswered questions keep me from taking a plunge one way or another. I just know that the Zoom H5 and GarageBand options that I already have aren't motivating me to even make rough sketches so I don't forget the parts/pieces that I've come up with.

So something has to change.

I hate programming drums.. I would always end up going down rabbit holes making things more complicated and get more dissatisfied… if ever went down that road again I think I’d want a proper drum machine/ sequencer
