I used a DAW called Reason its oldest drum machine is bassed off of Roland drum machines such as Tr 707 and 808. I have a few Physical sythersizors, pedals and a small mixer, and all I want to complete My Dawless rig is a drum machine and Bahringer is probably going to do the job.

Its a tad more but I got an AKAI force for around $700 in mint condition a few weeks ago and its wild what you can get for under $1000 these days.

I’m a hobbyist musician one man band playing 60’s rock. I use 2 drum machines depending on the tune and best sounding beats. I have all the settings memorized.

I use an Alessis SR 18 an amazing drum machine and a Beatbuddy. Both drum machines sound realistic and in some cases better than a real drummer.

They are very intuitive and easy to use. Not a lot of knobs etc.

Thanks nice review.
I'm not familiar with Drum machines, but I'm looking for something to play in the background when I play guitar.
My questions are what kind of amplifier do you need for the Drum Machine? What type of cables?
Will it plug into my guitat amplifier?

Drum Brute impact has the best unique sound and tone. Especially for punchier drums. I have so many 808 drum machine samples and they sound much better than the remakes so Id rather take something completely new and analog. Will get this and Perkons HD01

They're all great.... I like that Roland TR-08 I'm making synthwave and I need something - I'll probably buy all 3 I grew up in a recording studio And now my parents want to make synthwave, lol (they really dig All 3 sound awesome and have their own "sound" - I'll just get all of them Ebay right now,

Behringer RD-8 was very tempting at first, but it’s so much desk real-estate to give up for such a limited sound set .. I guess we’ve been spoiled by functional density in modern devices. The Behringer Edge, on the other hand… that’s a bit harder to resist.

Hi I am a singer guitarist/ live performer
I currently use a Roland SPD one to manually kick out four in the floor patterns live .
Im wanting to free up my foot for more looping and looking for a piece of gear that I can load kick samples or use good quality adjustable pre loaded drums
Ideally have tap tempo on a midi switch and kick velocity from light to hard hits in an expression pedal to adjust on the fly live
As this is a bit out of my “guitarist”knowledge base and there are sooo many sampler/ sequencers out there any advice you could give if this is possible and the best unit to use other that bringing a laptop to gigs would be much appreciated!!
