Review: Perfect drum machine - Finally!!!!! The drum machine I've been looking for!!! If you want access to a plethora of great drum sounds, and the ability to program either simple or complex drum patterns and stitch them together to make great songs then this is the machine for you. Looking forward to using this in a live situation. What a relief!!!!!!
Review: Brilliant! - This drum machine was recommended to me by a musician friend. It was a top tip! It’s a fantastic piece of kit. I’m no techie, but I found this fairly intuitive to use. So good to be able to create my own percussion patterns and change them with a foot pedal (needs to be bought separately, but only £12). Drum sounds are very authentic too. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you know you know
*by M***R on 13 July 2025*

Why do you think these are still in production for more than 30years.? Absolute workhorse. Admittedly out of the box they have a distinctly 80s shoulder pad vibes, wide stereo bass drums anyone? But with a little coaxing and a saturator pedal and/or compressor these little babies can tear up the room. I call mine Tina :) I sold my all singing dancing Roland TR-6S as it just had 2010s demo energy, menu diving for days and ton of noise. Never looked back, me and Tina are beyond the thunderdome. Yeah!
