Hello peepz, what are some useful and cost effective drum machines I should look into? my budget is around 200 dollars, and I want to create aphex style break beats and such.. what would my best bet be? |

Your best bet would be to be original. |

software programs are the way to go reason is great youll never get the sound you want with a normal drummachine, because normal drummachines dont allow you to fuck with the sounds and effects... (like a program like reason would) |

I can't afford anything, so I've been using coke cans and billard balls run through a Boss digital delay/reverb pedal. Doesn't sound like anything else I have ever heard. (Not to say that it is any good however) |

Agreed.. no need to blow your cash on a drum machine when you're sitting in frony of a machine right now that can emulate 1,000's of drum machines... |

haha, yeah random sounds are the way to go! just plug a random instrument into your computer, press record, then hit it a few times. TADA, new percussive sounds :D |

yeah, use software, floops is my favourite groovemachine, just take time with it, you won't be disappointed. but if you're a hardware freak, don't buy a boss/roland drummachine (c; |

think of me weird but i very much think sofware drum synths are cheating.... its just far to easy... hardware you have limitations (or greater limitations) therfore the final product (to me) is a greater acheivement (when you get it to sound the way you want it to ofcourse).. . also by altering (tinkering) hardware you can manipulate everything, BUT i wouldn't recomend it unless you realy know about electronics and various circuitry. my 2c ... but i dont recomend anything.. sorry |

Boss Dr. 660, Boss Dr. 770. Squarepusher has used the Dr. 660. If your going to buy a hardware drummachine go with the Dr. 660, Dr. 770. If you decide to get computer software instead, i would get Native Instruments Battery or Kontact, alot more serious software than fruityloops. |

Oh yeah i forgot to mention COMPUTER's SEQUENCERS LICK NUTS!!!!!!!!!! |

i have the 770 i wouldnt reccomend it he wants aphex sounds... which are synthesized/sampled and fucked with. the 770 only has real drum sounds |

Basically, hardware hes not going to find what he wants because he would need to spend more, get a sampler and effects. so he would do better trying to achieve the sound he is looking for with software. |
