We recently acquired, thanks to The Super, the KING of all drum machines - the Roland TR 808. Now and forever legendary, the 808 was produced in 1980 and wasn't appreciated immediately because of it's "not real" sounds. It is pure analog gold and no digital sample can do what this baby does. Also important to mention that it's internal sequencer inspires patterns that are simply not going to happen when using a computer or MPC. Mix that with individual outputs thru a console and the GREATEST BASS DRUM SOUND ON THIS PLANET, and you have audio heaven, an electronic music producer's dream. Also courtesy of Levon Vincent we are rockin' the infamous Linn Drum. Another classic with the best sounding toms in town. And if that still wasn't enough to put me in drum machine heaven, DJ Majestic R, aka Cool Ray West, has blessed me with the sp1200, the legendary drum machine/sampler that changed it all. Check out the links and go to vintagesynth.com for more info. We will soon be posting the new tracks featuring our newly assembled drum machine museum.
