This machine sounds perfect for producign the kinda minimal that’s xoming out of Germany at the moment….it must be a m_nus label requirement or something ;-)

You can get in the ballpark. You can get some nice tom sounds pitched high for sure.

Does anyone know if this unit can recreate the sounds of the Simmons Electronic drums from the eighties?

Hi Nicola. I'm using Ableton Live but I am pretty sure you can use another hardware drum machine to control the DRM-1. You can see some people are doing this in these YouTube videos: link 1 and link 2

I use the Mbase, Vermona and even software for kicks… lots of variety… all great!

Oliver…thanks for the post about the Vermona drum machine. Also, thanks for the great footage of JoMoX HQ you posted a little while back. I have a beige Mbase and am a huge fan, but am very interested in this piece. You still use the Mbase for your kicks though, correct? I like the idea of an analogue drum machine w/real time editing features w/o an internal sequencer. Cheers!

Hi Rockmanrock. "Syncretism" over at Harmony Central pointed out it is a Bucket Brigade Delay. Here's the thread: link

Sounds like my old MAM ADX1 but better. Are you sure it’s got a spring reverb in it? I thought they just used filtered noise for the “reverb”.

Hum… i like the design, but i’m not with the sound. Too “thin” for the price. Sound analogic in a kind of way, but not so fat.
