Dave Grohl, acclaimed drummer for Nirvana and Them Crooked Vultures, and frontman of the Foo Fighters, has criticized musicians for using drum machines, saying it has 'robbed' drummers of their personality."I learnt to play the drums by listening to records. I had favourite drummers because of their inconsistencies. Modern production has robbed drummers of personalities and it really pisses me off. (...) Drum machines work for pop artists but when it comes to rock 'n' roll - don't fuck with the human element."
