List 2 of classic 80s rhythm tracks - slow to midtempo - that were originally made on a Linn Drumcomputer. Again recreated by ear on a Korg Electribe ES1mkII sampler, only using the Linn Drum sounds and the Korg internal effects (mostly just reverb).

No actual records were sampled, except for the conga loops which I felt were essential in two tracks.

George Michael - I want your Sex
Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme
Tears for Fears - Shout
Princess - Say I'm your Number One
Propaganda - P: Machinery
Wham! - Last Christmas
Terence Trent d'Arby - Sign your Name
Prince - Kiss
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - War
SOS Band - The Finest (additional clap from TR808)
Queen - Radio Ga Ga
Janet Jackson - What have you done for me lately
Linda Lewis - Class / Style
Forrest - Rock the Boat (conga loop from original track)
Five Star - All fall Down
Miami Sound Machine - Dr. Beat (conga loop from original track)
Colonel Abrams - I'm not gonna let
Lafleur - Boogie Nights

For HQ stereo add &fmt=18 after URL

  • Would you say it were exact the same quality, or maybe better when you upload those samples to your ESX ?

  • Hi Siegfried,the ESX sounds rounder, fuller, but the ES1 has that lo-fi 'punch' that imo does match the Linndrum better. Also the fx are different on each machine

  • Very nice 5 Stars again, what a pity you dont want to share the samples :(

  • Not yet, sorry.. But there are good ones readily avaible if you google around :-)

    Thx

see all

  • @cjfb87 spot on, isn't it--the best one IMO

  • pity you putted the name/title of the songs, its quite easy to find them, as a blindtest ;)

  • i so want these drums as wav

  • Great to see someone with the same 80s passion like myself. I just wonder, what's that snare/synth-drum in Princess - Say I'm Your Number One called and which machine does it hails from? I have a real vintage Linndrum LM2 and it doesn't have that sound. I alwas thought it was a simmons synth drum.

    check out my art of noise remix :)

  • Do you know if a drum machine was used on Careless Whisper, or was that "live played" acoustic drums.

  • i've got the old green one. is there any difference on sound quality between mk1 and 2?

    can you upload there drum sounds anywhere on the net?

    thxxx

  • LOVE THE SOS BAND

  • i own the LM2, sorry to have you all excited about it ;o)

  • @TheStudeo74 OH and if you do have their Linn-9000 drum machine. I want to see a video of it. I will not change my position until I have seen it. I will against state that I read a keyboard magazine article on it and It was talking about one of their songs. It was Janet Jackson's "Funny How Time Flies". It stated that the finger snap sounds was a Linn-9000 sidestick which was heavily gated. I am going to search the article and show it.

  • @TheStudeo74 Again As I said,, I read an article of Keyboard Magazine from 1987. It interviewed J and J and they said that Janet Jackson's "Control". In one they explained that the fingersnap sounds on "Funny How Time Flies" was a gated Linn-9000 sidestick. The sounds on "Control" was duplicated by Babyface on his albums. Oh yeah, he was another heavy user of the Linn-9000 using it from 1986 to 92. He used it in all his albums in that time. It was because of J and J he got the Linn-9000.
