LinnDrum

LinnDrum. Couple of quick loops recorded through some outboard. A sample kit is available for download as usual. I use this machine fairly often, and you can also hear it in on my track, "I Can Make U Dance", located on the right side of this page. Although I've included single-shot hits for you, I gotta say there's nothing quite like recording a full drum pattern straight from the machine into the gear. Sounds much better that way.


Which brings me to something slightly off-topic: speaking of drum machines, I've got to mention those D16 plugins: Drumazon, Nepheton, and Nithonat. Now that they're finally out as audiounits, I managed to check them out recently. I think they're incredible! As soon as I pick them up, I'll do a couple of loops and put them on here.

But anyway getting back on track, my LinnDrum is a bit wonky at times. Knobs and sliders are scratchy, and sometimes I need to hold certain parts down just to get a sound. The tempo always fluctuates a number or two when I press to read it on the display. I really should grab a MIDI kit for this thing. No matter, maybe I'll get it fixed down the road. I love the punchiness! Enjoy the loops & samples and happy friday!

  1. Those toms sound awesome, like a mix between marching band toms and timpanis.
