One of the best Roland drum machines I have used (even although it’s super old school) is the TR-808, which you can pick up on ebay authority now.

Back in the 80′s it was one of the earliest drum machines you could actually program, and at the time that was a almighty deal.

When the 808 earliest came out it was mainly meant to be used for home demos and I have to say that the sounds on there don’t actually airtight much like a real drum kit. But for me that’s the complete point. I use the 808 for actually old school sounding hip hop and it cogs atrocious good!

Think early NWA stuff…

If you want to get a actually aboveboard drum airtight you should not go for one of these crazy old school Roland drum machines. Maybe think concerning anything from the new DR Rhythm range, which are also excellent.

It actually makes me gibe to think that the TR-808 cost $1000 when it was release. A lot of people think the sounds are totally rubbish.

But even Mavin Gaye used it on the super almighty hit Sexual Healing!

Wow!

Since the more achievable drum machines appeared on the market the TR-808 in progress to loose popularity. But made a big comeback as a despicable beat maker for hip hop artists to make tracks for a low cost.

The Beasties Boys used the 808 all the time and just added samples from rock songs which sounded actually cool.

If you want to bear some ageless old school sounds you can still find them on ebay for a good price.

Final thoughts.

I love it when I hear the 808 airtight on modern hip hop tracks today. They’ve put them thought a bunch of processing but you can still hear those old beats kicking out like always.

On of the best Roland drum machines ever.

Give it a go.

In this instrument, the musician navigates a huge space of possible sounds, through playing and listening. All pads play a single polyphonic sound engine, but each pad generates its own set of parameters. The size of the cluster of parameter sets can be varied, and the sounds of different pads can be blended, i.e., a pad has an effect also on the sound of the other pads. At any time, the whole cluster of sounds can be moved in any direction. When the musician presses a pedal switch, the cluster is moved towards the current sound, and then this subspace can be explored – so the sounds are changed through playing, and the timberal variation is virtually limitless.

This instrument is a percussion adaption of the vector mapping technique used in the instruments Palle Dahlstedt designed for duo pantoMorf.

The percussion pad is a DrumKAT, and the instrument is implemented in a Nord Modular G2.

This is part of the research project Creative Performance, directed by Palle Dahlstedt at the Department of Applied IT and the Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Funded by the Swedish Research Council.
