The Roland family of drum machines are really good in terms of having 
realtime
ways to tweak tempo.  Either via "Tap", slider or even the IR "D" beam
controller.  These are totally useful when trying to synch to recordings or
live musicians.  They also have a wide complement of synth sounds and 
samples
making them much more than a drum machine.
