Old School Beat - 808 & Linn Drum Toms

Just messing with the 808 and trying different sounds, trying to stay true to the vinyage "Electro" style

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

[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

[BluntedBeyondBelief]

you need some synthesizers on this, keep it heavy.

[intromix]

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

[jemiee]

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.

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

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

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.

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!!!
