I like my Digitone better than the MachineDrum UW I used to have. Of other drum machines I used to own, the two I regret selling are the Tanzbar mk.I, and the Jomox xbase. Of analogs, apart from a Perkons, which I can’t afford, I would like an Acidlab Drumatix.
But I’m very happy with Digitakt with Drumatix samples. Digitone for FM drums. And an MPC One at the moment triggering eurorack modules, Mutable Ripples for kick, Basimilus Iter Alter for snare/metallic/synthetic mids weirness, Klavis Twin Waves for hats. I’d like to build a full eurorack drum rack. With SSF Entity Ultra Kick for BD, Basimilus for metallic modulated synthetic weirdness. WMD Fracture for Clap/particle weirdness. Maybe Patching Panda Hatz or similar, and maybe Erica or Rample for snares. VPME QD is definitely interesting too.
For physical modelling, Intellijel Plonk and/or Qu-bit Surface might be interesting to you.
