Interestin' that the good ol' Reverend ;-) should mention this - I often
have to deal with these sorts of problems - being a drummer/ percussionist.
I found the following on the Oberheim Drummer page - this sounds like one
solution.
HELLO OBERHEIM PEOPLE. I have a question: how does this *actually* work?
I'm any old good drummer whose subject to the odd tempo fluctuation - I am
practising to correct this though :-) . Can I load drum samples to the Obi
Drummer? Thanks in advance!


Like any good drummer, the Oberheim Drummer listens and reacts to your
playing. Dynamics, fills, and other features can all
be set to follow and respond to your MIDI performance in one of the unique
Drummer "Jam" modes. Files can be saved and
loaded via MIDI. Four footswitch jacks allow for real time performance
control of the Oberheim Drummer.
