Old School Beat - 808 & Linn Drum Toms

[brandonbanks32278]

ahhhhhhhhhh the 80's

[afroblack1000]

Too cool

[Electrostat21]

Fantastic Beat///The 808 and the Linn together are so nice..I presume its the combination for hip hop be bop...Man Parrish.

Retro Drum Machines are just so cool.

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

Those toms remind me of the Miami Vice Theme by Jan Hammer.

[cooliegee]

Afrika BamBaaTaa & Soul Sonic Force/ Planet Patrol & Arthur Baker too many to name used this machine. I know because I was in this era.

[djmhyde]

man, this is sooooooooo cool, i love these 80's eletronic instruments

[syntheziser]

A bit like beginning of 19 from Paul Hardcastle :-)

[RobertC19850209]

kind of reminds me of "play that beat" by G.L.O.B.E.

[funkb0x]

I remember watching a video of some geezer who managed to turn the 808 into a 64 step sequencer. What an awesome machine. A true classic & this box alone revolutionized all music of today. Thank heavens for RAW sample sets. I can't afford this baby but It gets the ultimate drool factor. With an 808 & some headphones on a desert island who would need rescuing? The odd female visitor carrying some food & drink would be acceptable. :) That works both ways too ladies, I'm no sexist.

TR-808 best machine for old school rap, hip hop & electro!!!

[thwackspongbelm]

The 808 has a kind of feel to it nothing to do with its drum sounds.... its like it makes a background noise eh? what a machine

[kirkmax99]

[paulj0557]

I just had to get up and play some bass on this one.

[MrMykl71]

reminds me of .. Tibetan Jam Banshees .. the instrumental of Tibetan Jam.

[intromix]

@MrMykl71 What is Banshees??? The song is called "Tibetan Jam" by Chris The Glove Taylor and Dave Storrs

[myskunk1]

don't forget cuttin and skratchin

[myskunk1]

[zupippinu1]

[zupippinu1]

[dubbsway4life]

Very Paul Hardcastle."19" kinda thing goin' on.With the "Miami Vice theme" toms.Nice beat though ! Really 80's.

[Teleintervisioncom]

[quipzz]

[cdrizzy]

miami vice nice

[zulusounds]

wow...

please send me the mp3

[markash1971]

i only have 808 plugins now. sound no way near as good as the real thing

[hart70]

It brings a number of songs to mind. Some Tommy Boy, Man Parrish, as Jemiee said. Really good!

[intromix]

Thanks man, thats kinda why I left it dry, the base of any Old School Electro track, where you can use your own imagination

[jemiee]

it's sounds like a man parrish track.. that's my favorite drummachine

[intromix]

Actually, when I layed this beat, I had "Slack" in mind, definitely want to add more to it,, but the thing that sucks is I only have 8 tracks to do it in,,,and if I finish the mix with synth and "bounce" to other tracks to make more tracks open,,I will forever lose this single beat once other sound sources are added,, so I wanted to post this one dry,,It kinda sounds good as it is (at least I think it does)

[BluntedBeyondBelief]

you need some synthesizers on this, keep it heavy.

[intromix]

I plan on adding more,, I like this beat so much (dry) that I wanted it in 2 parts, but definitely synth will be added into it.

[intromix]

Just added synth,,for the finished track just type in Slack (Electro Mix)

[oholm09]

@BluntedBeyondBelief ADD SOME LEAD AND SYNTH BASS
