I just saw Hania Rani in Seattle. It appears she’s using a Machinedrum on tour.

If you want to know more about her setup there is a nice interview on Headphone Commute:

Here’s a liveset where she’s using a Machinedrum. I listened to parts of it some time ago and I’d say the MD is used in a very subtle way here, which was probably expected in this kind of music. Still, always nice to spot the MD in the wild.

I agree, a very subtle use of the MD. I saw her two weeks ago in Montreal. Great show, great performance, a shy and funny presence on stage. She invited a special guest that night, Patrick Watson. They performed back to back. It was a magical moment.

Saw her last night in San Francisco. Several portions felt similar to seeing James Blake live.
I saw her in Luxembourg a couple months ago, and I agree with the subtle use of MD, but maybe it’s just what she needs for her music. I remembered one track a bit glitchy from the subtle drum side, and another one remembering Christian Loffler’s music (kind of deep minimal techno). So I think MD could fit good in those context.

She was using MD at the start of her new NPR Tiny Desk concert as well:

Want to try to recreate the drum sounds from the first song (thin line) on my ARmk2. Any idea how the cymbal/hat/shaker thingy is done?
As an acoustic instrument player i totally love her style and musical compositions/soundscape. I had also noticed the use of MD in her compositions so it’s good she found her way into the nauts.
Hope she continues developing her style.

I would put my money on a sample, actually. Some cabasa or even jazz brushes pattern looped.
