What are the classic drum machines?

[moreofmorris]

Hello... I'm on a mission to start collecting the samples of classic drum machines... I already know about the 808 and have a really good sample pack of that, but now I want more...

What are the most classic drum machines? (apart from the 808)

all those is DK+ Library

Acetone Rhythm Ace, all early seventies and eighties Roland and Korg machines, the MXB 185, the MFB 512, early Yamaha ones, DrumTraks, Kawai ones, Mattel, Simmons

All you need is the Roland CR-78.
You can pick up a load of classic drum machine samples cheaply and some free at my friend's website:

and check out some interactive drum machines here (you can order a CD of them too):

Apart from the 808, Roland also had the 707 and 909 machines.
Linn is a classic manufacturer also...

See, I'm thinking of getting Reaktor 5 soon...

This, with the user library, will hopefully have all the vintage drum machine remakes I could possibly want... No?

I love old drum machines. I sampled individual hits from my CR-78, Wersimatic and Oberheim DX. You can get those here:

I also sampled some loops from the CR78 and Wersimatic. Those are here:

There are only a couple of classic drum machine emulations (not as good as the Nepheton or Dash stuff), but Reaktor really shines at doing things with drums that are a little more modern and abstract.

I would recommend Battery over Reaktor for great sounding classic "drum machine" sounds.
