What other drum machines signature kits are most used in addiction to 808 and 909?

How to do this, that and the other. Share, learn, teach. How did X do that? How can I sound like Y?

So let's recap: 606, 707, 808, 909, DMX, LM-1, Drumulator SP-12.
Also, the LinnDrum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinnDrum) and the Linn 9000 (though that's not quite as popular).

Yamaha drum machines were also quite popular, as others here have noted. Korg had some good ones, but I don't know how many had "signature" sounds, like the machines we've listed so far. And Simmons was huge in the early '80s, especially for their toms and snare.

I always liked the sound of it.

According to Rhythmic Robot: The RX5 made its mark on some classic tracks, like Prince’s Sign o the Times, Madonna’s La Isla Bonita, Cameo’s Word Up and a whole load of songs by the Pet Shop Boys.

It was also the machine of choice for many 80's indie/goth bands

I know it was used on tracks. I used one myself for years because I couldn't afford anything better. The kick drum sounds like a paper bag.
