but seriously, if i had to choose, 808 every time, 909 still pretty god damn good though. the more i produce, the more i realise i should never really use any other type of kick other than one of these two.

the 707 has the cymbals and hats of the 909, so so so so good
the claps and rimshots on that thing are fucking flawless too, like was said about the hats, it'll cut through a mix like BUTTER.
the shuffle is great on it too
oh and the 808 is the bass queen
i really want a 909 and a 606... ARGH GEAR LUST
i love drum machines
you got a 707 and an 808 and YOU'VE got gear lust?!?! would i be right in guessing you have a tb303 too?
i can't wait til i can afford this stuff must be such good fun to play with.

Nah only have this modern analogue clone which is sorta crap to be honest... real waste of money
Got my good friend to buy a good condition TB the other day tho (for 1000$.... so "cheap")
so I guess I'll end up borrowing it a lot.
but yea I'll take two hours with a drum machine and any synth with a sequencer over a video game ANY DAY
too much fun

Love it when there's a subtle delay on the hats as in this Chez N' Trent production

just dropping by the gear nerd thread to say how amazing it is to have a friend who owns a TB-303 and is out of town all the time.

Aside from the ridiculous amount of work it must take to build one of these, what do you all reckon? http://www.introspectiv.eclipse.co.uk/
Always fancied one myself, as I quite like building things and I'll never afford the real thing...
