If you could only own two drum machines what would they be?

That’s cannibalism!

Analog Rytm MKII
TR-808

Gotharman Spazedrum
Twisted electrons blastbeats

ARmk2 because it has the electronic drum sounds I always wanted and feels so luxurious to use

M:C because I don’t want to learn the quirks or workflow of another machine and I love the Chord machine

I already own the Digitakt and Syntakt, so I’m good.

I’m very happy with my DT/ST combo but I am increasingly eyeing an OT/ST combo.

one can never have enough drum machines, synths or guitars!

Wish you could still get the kits for these.

I currently have a Syntakt and Digitakt. I use the Sybtakt more for full tracks out of the studio though. The Digitakt is drums and brains for the studio.

I wouldn’t mind grabbing the Modor sometime, but will probably stick to this setup.

I really love the RD-8 MkII, but gave mine to my son as he needed it more than I do. Besides, I love recreating TR drums on other devices for fun anyway

My modulars are also geared heavily toward percussive sounds, so I can always use them when I have them assembled

Tanzbar & Digitakt

Rytm MkII and Vermona DRM1 MkIV.

Waiting for someone to mention the Vermona. Sequenced via CV or Midi?

Tchu · 2024-04-14T02:17:40.365Z

MIDI with a BeatStep or a Digitakt.

With the Erica Synths metal enclosure.

I really want to have a go with one of these! Sonically very appealing and I like what I’ve see of the seq workflow in videos. Don’t GAS for much these days but the Gotharman gear draws me in… It would be a luxury item for me so maybe I’ll treat myself if I get a raise!

TR-707
TR-909

I have a TR-8S but I prefer working with a limited palette of sounds. The best drum programming I’ve heard is from the early Chicago house records produced with a 707 or a 909.

guga · 2024-04-14T16:07:07.946Z

i would have to go with a Vermona DRM1 and probably an AR … never owned the DRM1 but i still remember when i saw it for the first time and gas kicked in straight away

Geneoart · 2024-04-15T21:54:22.964Z

I’ve been working a lot with the Alpha Base and cannot recommend it enough. The highest quality sounds I’ve ever had access too. Everything sits in the mix perfectly.
