Favourite Drum Machine?

I do most of my producing on drum machines. My Favourites
are my Korg Electribe ER-1 And ES-1, as well as Roland
tr808 for classic Electro. What Does Everyone Else Use?

my uncle just got korg electribe ER-1 and i got to try it
last weekend. it's the only one i've tried. i'd like to buy
ER-1 or the more expensive model ES-1. the diffrence between
the two is that with the ES-1 you can load samples (if i'm
not mistaken)

Yeah Thats Right Mr Alberto. Best Bit About The Korgs Is U
Can Motion Sequencing Any Knob to get mad panning effects
and filters, Sounds really organic. I would like to have a
go on a 'MACHINEDRUM' cant remember who makes them.

Out of the vintage ones Roland TR-808 or TR-606 is topping
my list. Out of the new ones, Elektron Machinedrum. That
thing is a monster, too bad it's über-expensive. I think
someone had the Machinedrum in their avatar here.

I haven't got any drummachine =(

but I do like the old 808 and especially the 909 of course!
I also enjoy the drumset of my old Yamahsynth (SY77)

It's a POS and you know it :)

I hate how Roland are raping all the old model numbers and
imitating the styling of the old boxes. Recent example being
the SH-32. Nothing wrong with the sound, but come on..it's
not analog or vintage no matter how SH it's labeled.

Roland R-8 is awesome for programming!
I might get one... they look cool too

The Yamaha RY30 is a forgotten Gem...

Resonant filters et al... and some great groove features...

Dunno what the price is like nowadays. but I imagine it'll
be pretty cheap as not many people are in the know about
it...

Another classy drum machine is the forgotten Roland R-70. It
has all the 808 and 909 kits too.

Cheapo option for getting Roland sounds are the Boss Dr
series, the 550 and 660.

yeah i haven't used much but like dr groove and the mc303
rocks, do find it a lil annoying with the 303 that if you
want to dump any user patterns back onto it it clears the
whole user patterns, but hey the arpeggio is great and some
really good sounds, easy to program, i would like a mc909
they sound nice, i like the idea of having yr patterns saved
on a card and its got a load of other groovie shit.

I would usually say the 808 but the 909 is doin it for me as
well at the moment.

i got an es-1...never use it much though...once i get off my
lazy ass, i'll be using it all the time...

my ONE!!!!!!!! grype with it is the sampling

remember for the life of me.]

tr606
the boss dr110 and boss dr55 are very crappy electro
sounding and they kick ass
oh and the tr808 is a classic.

Err never really had a drum machine so I'd go for the
PSS-780 (seem to be name dropping this a lot at the
moment...)

Es-1 samples at 32khz, Its a good machine, but could be so
much better, if it had seperate fx routing for each noise it
would kik ass, but that would probably double the price.
Looks like korg have released two new electribes with vacuum
tube compression, Should take the cold digital edge off of
the sounds. Im looking forward to trying one out.

TR707's excellent value for money - Really good programming
and some of the sounds are identical to the 909.

dr. rhythm

it was great, you programmed it so it was playing all the
drum sounds at once continouosly, then you set the volume on
the amp to max and pointed the speaker at the music class
next door, then set it off.

then you ran down the school corridor pissing yourself
laughing when the teacher came out wondering what the fuck
was going on.

1986 was so much fun :)

heh, that's a good point i forgot to mention!

the fact that you can't do multiple effects on the fly is a
MAJOR setback.
