It's a synth, but it also has some drum sounds as well, so you can program
a beat to go with your trancy, squelchy arpeggios.

The Boss SP- (and their bigger brothers the Roland SP- series) are not
ideal for drum sounds; the pads are not as responsive to quick sounds and
the "sequencer" isn't flexible enough for drum programming. They are,
however good for playing back drumloops and such.

I recommend the ES-1, since you can sample your own sounds and not be stuck
to the same old drum sounds once they go out of flavor :)
