Thanks all. Now that I've look at these devices a little more and see that I was a bit unclear about the circumstance here, let me clarify. First, she is an an accomplished pianist and reader who is venturing into a little jazz, improv, theory, etc. She uses a metronome sometimes for this, but just would like to jazz it up a bit - and get a better feel for swing. She plays an acoustic piano and also has a Clavinova (limited midi, no GM, no drum sounds, but does has audio in) So, the BIAB Metro Pro in a hardware version would be just about right.

What would be best (Plan A) is a stand alone unit with integral amp/speakers. I don't think the devices mentioned have that. Next best (Plan B) might be a device that has its own internal drum sounds that output (audio, not midi) to the Clav. Her computer is nowhere the pianos (for now). It looks like the suggested devices do have audio out.

So, ideas for Plan A or B?

Thanks.
