Drum Machine Advice Needed
Drum Machine Advice Needed
Hey guys,
I am looking into buying a drum machine to record album demo's with.
I would like to find a drum machine that I can easily program without prior experince.
The songs are extremely dynamic and at times the drums need to be extremely soft.
The songs I have thus far are very Pete Dello, Roy Wood, Kinks, 13th Floor Elevators, kinda vibe.
I've got about $200 bucks, and it can be new or used. Any advice? I'm open to software suggestions as well!
I would very much appreciate any help!

for vintage analog hardware machines try roland tr-606 or boss dr-55.
for a newer machine that's analog try the mfb-522 (used).
software try Boom, it comes with all versions of pro tools, you just need a midi controller to trigger it.
i own a acidlab miami, which is a clone of the classic analog roland tr-808, i love mine

"not for hip hop" is a weird thing to say.
But if you DO have a computer, something like reason can be very useful to manipulate sounds you feel are more what you are looking for. You can also tweak the feel of the samples much easier (if at all) compared to a lot of dedicated drum machine type boxes.
I would just use this:

Such an amazing contraption, and most certainly: not for hip hop.
