Best drum sound EVER MADE.

I'm buying a MPC as a Sequencer, so I've been on this forum to review some comments and learn... so I would like to share something with everyone.

The best drum sounds ever are coming out of one machine today.

The brand new, Jomox Xbase. 999.

4 Analogue Drums (Base, Snare, 2 Toms) and 5 x 32 12 bit samples, user loadable. Made in Germany. It's sick. Analogue filters that work in beat, 2 LFO. Will transform your sound into something entirely new. Filter routing, tune, decay, snap, cut-off, reso, attack, harmonics, pulse, detune, noise, eq, compression (all analogue). The base sound is out of this world. Hand built, wood panels. 16 knobs, track mute, track volume, 64 banks, 4 scales, program each step (up to 32 steps), performance mode, pattern mode, song mode. real time write, shuffle... and more.

There is nothing like it. If you want the best, beefy fat, heavy tweekable drums sounds... One that blows doors on the 909 and 808. (you can get those sounds plus 50x more) It's just amazing.

Run don't walk, get your name on the list (hard to get) and save about $1800... I've had mine since it came out, pre-ordered 3 months before it came out.

its a tr 909 clone...

That's like saying a Ferrari is a Fiat clone. Heritage, yes. Experience? Not even close.

It's 5% 909, and 95% Sex.

Saying it's a clone is like saying if a genetic scientist cloned Chelsea Clinton, that the result could possibly be Pamela Anderson.

TGIF!!!!

Ps. Mine is coming in black next week. User waves enabled....along with midi sequencing of outboard equipment...like my sunsyn. (yes, note values, too)

I have to disagree with you on this one.. the best drum sounds are samples. I've never heard a machine that can give me anything that I need, but I stack of wax from various genre's of music pretty much covers everything. Even if I wanted 808 kicks, I can simply pick up any old-school hip-hop album and sample it. I learned this the hard way.. spending money! I would buy a keyboard/module just for the sounds and get bored of them a few months later. Espacially of you have effects or a way to mangle your sounds, you can really do some things to samples and I guarentee you it won't cost nowhere near $1800.00 to do it.

Im tempted for the new jomox 999., as an user of all analogue rolands, and the xbase09. There is nothing that beats areal analogue BD out of a big PA,..When u scrolling around in ure studio with your weak monitors its hard to audition that feeling.
Now my favourite is the 909, not only for sounds, but for the groove!

That is my only real Q with the new jomox., how does it groove? 'cause the xbase09 was not that good with it. But i compare it now to 909, mpc3k

...the 808 sits in a corner for itself, never to be touched

this is the best one!!!!!!!!! =









































































cshhhhhhhh!!!!.....











now sample it!!!

Everyone will probably agree that(or agree to disagree)Roland is the maker of the greatest sounds and drum machines ever produced.


The only choice is which one is the best........ 626, 808, 909.....


If you like electronica or dance, then the 909

If your a dirty south rap producer, then it's the 808

If you like the lo-fi grit sound, then it's the 626(or a SP-1200)



My pick is the 808... It's the reason I might be going tone deaf now....

LOL... why do i know what youre talking about?

I swear by Machinedrum (www.elektron.se). Doubles as an insanely tweakable sampler. The Jomox would sit nice though.

the best drumsound ever is to each opinion,,....right

but in all honestly analouge drums have something that can only be linked with real drums... they move!!!

in theroy it never hits the same hit twice... and that alive and warm sound cant be dublicated by anyother standalone unit ...

I just came across and embarsing demo cd I made once a few years back and on those old recordings I was using jomox and 808 a mpcXl and some othe kits&bits ... and the first thing I thought as soon as I pressed play was holy batman on a tricycle!! that kick sounds fat!!!!

it will eat a 909, and it makes the MD look like a child on a battelfield and it can even easily replace a 808 but it cant replace the 808 sound.. sorry have tried many times there is no replaceing a 808 period

I'll without a doupt in the world grab the 999 cuz I had a xbase (and a airbase) before and this is the top of the line instrument, one of the most expressif drummachines ever...

if your a producer in electronic or just any 909 type music this should be the core of your musical soul

its the 909 of the future, it is a spectacular drummoudule Musicly & Sonicly

The Vermona DRM1 is also worth a look. It sounds incredible! I really like the idea of sounds actually being created by a machine, and not just pasting a photograph of a sound in the machine and triggering it.

Although, drum samplers(like the mpc) offer so much more than just drums, and thats why it got the better of me...

anyways, heres a site with alot of sound samples from the vermona:

IMO, live drums can't be beat. need proof? stand front row with ?uestlove
on stage. Vinyl is my second favorite, but I'm a sampling fan, not a studio
tek....the gritty clicks and pops on a any John Bonham solo will
always tingle my tidbits. I use lots of layers, filters, eq adjustments and a
simple effects pedal to achieve the sounds I want. I also love the sound of
beatboxing, I like to layer drums with vocal noises just to add color. Back to
the topic. What's the best damn drum sound ever? The Amen break!!!!!

the sounds in the linn drum machines that came out in the early 80's.

LM-1, LM-II, LM9000....ha thats just my taste though.

love those crispy claps and toms

no doubt about it!

singlehandily created and maintained an entire genre of music (dnb) ... influenced many others.

ugh so sick of that damn break

none of your fault and no offense

but my friend uses it in literally every single song he does. he's a REALLY good glitch/idm/whatever producer but damn i wish he'd download recycle and use something else

and the only reason i'm so critical of this aspect of his tunes is because i think he knows his sht. unfortunately, i don't know if i'd ever break it to him that the break is reaaaaaaally played - as with a lot of people in the genre, there's a kind of mystical attachment to it that hip hop folks don't necessarily share
