0630 huh.  You must have been playing a gig.  I got home at 0430 this
morning.  I know what you mean as far as drum machine apps are
concerned.  I haven't found one yet that I'm really all that happy
with.  If you find a good one let us know.  No need to apologize here. 
The linux audio lists - audio user, alsa, jack, ardour, jamin, etc are
about the most civilized mailing lists I've ever seen.  If you really
want to get seriously flamed go post anything on prosoundweb.  Those
guys are brutal ;-)  The Mixerman chronicles are well worth the read
though if you can stand all of your laugh muscles getting sore.
