Linn Drum LM-2 Demo w/ Powder Trail

[Michael55443]

I sure miss my LinnDrum. Sadly, it was stolen from me years ago. :-(

[Michael55443]

I owned this machine back in the 80's. It was a lot of fun, but Roger Linn cut some corners with it. Not being able to tune each and every instrument was a drag and some of the samples were changed from the LM1 for no real good reason. Someone stole mine, or I'd still be using it today.

Anyone help me out with getting forats email? I just bought a linn and want to send it over to America for regular servicing. I also need help with changing the batterys. Any ideas??

[fashti]

wow.....this is what kicked off the MPC movement am I right :o I had a feeling Prince used this machine haha

[sephardimm]

love it.

[GNeuman]

It's THE sound of the '80's, but I love the way you can mix the levels of the instruments separately.........

Why can't the Rolands and Korgs make something again along these lines?

I had a Roland Groovebox MC505 when they came out and it really was a load of crap, about as much charisma as a Working Man's club cabaret act yet to get something out of it you needed a PhD in mathematics, horrible piece of gear.......

[turloydstew]

this must have been used on pete shellys witness the change/i don't know what it is track, sounds very alike!

[funkkidmusic]

this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[rockdove81]

This sounds great.

The snare on mine sounds horrible like a blast of noise.  I think it must need some repairs...

[Keijz74]

Was it on Kajagoogoo's Too Shy?

[eldorado303]

linn has some good sounds.

[krzone81]

why the gloves ??????????????????????????????

[123synthland]

@krzone81 didnt wanna get pizza grease on the linn.

[krzone81]

@123synthland oh ok .. gotcha'

[inosdelaquaia]

White powder trail?????

[123synthland]

yes, from the gloves. see the explanation above and to the right.

[GanEdenAustralia]

@123synthland Why the gloves?

[123synthland]

@GanEdenAustralia its a fashion statement

[Maestroluv]

Make me want to put on a Miami Vice suit.

[nashslash999]

PWL all the way.......

[raVe4theslaVe]

best electro instrument ever. prince has returned with it with his upcoming album MPLSOUND due out in march.

[123synthland]

its about time :)

[PhuckHue2]

Prince music sucks now. I think he lost his hearing over the years

[123synthland]

be nice!

[zancis1]

LOL, nice beat - makes a bad day turn good for me! :)

[stixx2000]

very 80's

[BeatMonarchs]

in an interveiw roger linn did with futuremusic he said he personally disliked the sounds in the linndrum so id like 2 c wat he does with the linndrum 2

[123synthland]

everyone i know loves the linndrum sounds (!) but im sure this new thing hes releasing will be interesting, though different.

[soundscapenyc]

what what a gem...human league, prince and countless others used this beauty to create their signature sounds! would love to get my hands on one

[123synthland]

price was a big linn user.

[MuzikJunkyAES]

It has a nearly identical kick drum to the Roland TR-707, but the Linn has so much more body than the Roland. Peace.

[Mattyuk1]

My linn drum is fucked anyone help me out ??

[monzarottie]

smell the glove ;-)

[sleestack]

the sequencer on this has the coolest timing. Very tight and grooves really well

[Luduslaris]

Great Linn

[janhammerrules]

JAN HAMMER used a LINN drum for MIAMI VICE quite often.

[CountFeedback]

i'm sure it's not the first time some white powder has gotten on a linn drum

[123synthland]

I'm sure you're right!!!

Kids, don't do drugs.

[Keijz74]

I don't need them. I have mental distortion factory built-in. Coffee's enough for me =;o)#

[bjadan]

Looking forward to the LinnDrum II that's coming now instead of the Boomchik from Dave Smith and Roger Linn. The LinnDrum II analog even contains a true 4- voice analog Dave Smith synthesizer!

[Tohtruck]

This one made me smile. Very fun, Kudos!

[TrainmasterCurt]

Very cool, the 80's all over again!
