Steve Moore did use a MFB-502 and a drumtraks on Zombi's most recent album "Escape Velocity" (2011) so who knows...

Re: Favorite Drum Machine Beat/Pattern
I asked him on Soundcloud; he used a DMX on that album, with some MFB522 here and there. Awesome album BTW! The title track is almost too good!tomorrowstops wrote:thanks!

Re: Favorite Drum Machine Beat/Pattern
Speaking of Kraftwerk, I f**k love the Showroom Dummies drumline. Def one of my favorites. It's not really all that complicated, but it does set a mood for me that I enjoy. Def gets me in front of one of my drum machines, and I start fooling around with different beats.
BTW this thread is awesome.

Re: Favorite Drum Machine Beat/Pattern
Not the Drumulator. The main drum and percussion sounds are LinnDrum sounds, including the triangle and "temple bell" sounds.elsongs wrote: Tears For Fears - "Shout" (E-mu Drumulator)
Later in the song, after the instrumental bridge, real live drums are overdubbed on top of the sequenced LinnDrum sounds.
Re: Favorite Drum Machine Beat/Pattern
I like the drum pattern on Oh Yeah by Yello just for its pure mid-80s'ness, especially the toms! Oh, and Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood!

Re: Favorite Drum Machine Beat/Pattern
some great examples in this thread!
when i think about great drum patterns/programming the following always comes into my mind:
Amon Tobin - Sordid

It gets interesting around 4:08
