@squidfanny we can go hardcore and go back to the Bentley Rhythm Ace or TR-55 back in the day, but the TR808 was the first programmable one to contend with the Linndrum.
@auspoef Yes! I have actually played the Spark in a demo situation and am very impressed with the sounds, user interface, and the gorgeous Arturia design.
I feel the same way. I've spent the last 2 decades involved with Electronic Music and music making, and while I don't fetishize the equipment as some do, it's fun to give a basic overview of the instruments and where people have heard them. I think the 909 is just as important to music as the electric guitar.
@SPAZZOID100 So refreshing coming from someone called Spazzoid. This was something i did for fun a couple years ago because my friend asked me what I was doing for 9/9/09. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
What's even better is on "ETS" I think it's actually a sampled TR909. Alan Wilder has said, that's his most famous beat, but he hates the snare drum (which I think is awesome.)
The TR909 is featured heavily on Depeche Mode's Violator. Instantly recognizable on the track "Enjoy the Silence". Amazing how these machines were bought cheaply because everyone was looking for more realistic sound sets at that time . . . and now you find them selling for 2,000 bucks. Ridiculous. Just proves creativity trumps equipment. Buy things on the cheap, and make new sounds.
Good Stuff.. I liked it. - (the Discovery Channel should do a full season on something like this... that would be sooooo feckin' cool). Anybody remember the 626 - (The snare was unique.. Cameo / Word Up comes to mind) - I bought one in 88' - it was pretty cool back in the day, it had 8 seperate outputs, midi & memory expansion. Also had an R8, R-70 HRC, a Drumatix /TB303s Drum Daddy, Boss Dr Rhythm, Korg DDM-110 & Alesis 16B.
I have a 626 Now the Snare 1 unique in that instead of using a big splashy stadium rock sample snare they took a nice puncy disco sounding snare.
I am curently working with a 707, 727, 626 and as a little project I got a beat up Casio RZ-1 which Im going to restore (and posibly add new EPROM sample chips to)
The DDM-110 looks like a cool little box though, I'm keeping an eye out for it and the DDM-220 latin percusion box.
@pomfrit93 I got a 909, MPC Electronics MPC-1 and Boss DR-110 in the end to go along with the 707, 727, 626, RZ-1.
Having tried out alot of drum machines I would personally avoid the 606 just because of it's huge price tag compared to alot of very similar drum machines, arguably the 606 is the best of those bmp tsh bmp tsh drum machines but you could get a DR-110, Cleff Master Rhythm and Korg KPR-77 for around the same price as a 606.
@snolan1990 That is right. i was lucky that my father grabbed one cheap back in the days. I still blame him that he didn't got a Tb to go with it!!!! God damn!!!!!
Technically Rolands first drum machine was the tr-77 (I own a couple) :)

Sorry, I just feel that your presentation was a bit silly. A lot of people take equipment and music very seriously.

It's a remix of a song called "Supabeat" by Sweet 17 that I actually did. You can hear the whole thing on my youtube page. @Cityskater1998

Wow! If the Discovery Channel is listening, I will do a whole series on
vintage drum machines and it will be
WAAAY exciting! Your ratings will go through the roof (among drum machine afficionados.) :p
