I’ve determined it is a MIDI problem by recording reapers click track into my microphone with no startup delay.
Perhaps the thru box is causing a signal stutter or something? The drum machine is receiving clock, start/stop... but stutters at the beginning of the recording. MIDI is just taking extra time to reach it. I’m not sure how to fix this.

1. You should go from the MIDI OUT of your interface to the drum machine if possible and skip the thru box. Im assuming you are coming out the interface midi into the thru box midi IN?
2. On your DRUM MACHINE, enter a 1 bar empty pattern at the beginning of the song to allow the drum machine lockup time or just put an empty measure in Reaper before the start of your project
3. Start all your projects at bar 2 in Reaper
4. Set your audio buffer as low as you can when syncing midi to track the audio
