Hi Glen,

Just to add to what has been said by fuzz and manX.

There are many price points and many features, so it will be worth your while to explore these. Loopers are great for practice, for creating and experimenting. If you want a drum track to set your tempo, some like the RC-3 come with a selection of drum tracks. I think there are 6, but I only use the same beat over and over just to help keep timing. Tempo is adjustable.

I think the steepest learning curve with a looper is getting your own timing down so you activate it at just the right time. This took me some getting used to and I am still not happy with all my stop/starts. So don't get discouraged if you do buy something and find it's a bit tricky to get going with it.
