If you want control over patterns and sounds, get a standalone drum machine. I would never invest in a Beatbuddy as my sole drum machine.

Haven't visited lately but if they have cracked that one, then way cool.
#Dr220 or rhythm doctor how to#
Last time I looked on the Beatbuddy forum I think some of the members were figure out how to play entire song length wav files. No, I have not done anything useful with it but it is still fun. I have made a couple of weirdo kits w/ synth created percussion noises. The other nice, if labor intensive thing, is the ability to import your own samples. The downside is that you have to do your own MIDI sequencing on your computer and import it.
It is possible to sequence an entire song with drums and backing instruments (bass, keys). If you are willing to put the time into it, is a very deep tool. I'm never going to play out with mine so I don't do a lot of the band in a box stuff that you see on Youtube (pretty cool, BTW). What do you think about the Keith McMillen 12 step? Could that be used with multiple devices, mpc, drum machine, keyboard? Maybe split it up to trigger different actions from something like the 1010black box? I have a feeling I’m going to need to invest in a laptop but my credit card will not be happy I suppose I still yearn for that jamband interaction. It’s one thing to lay down a groove and another to have that groove morph with me as I play. I’m not giving up yet, but I’m slowly altering my expectations of what I can do with the tech available. I get partway there but it just doesn’t have that organic live feel. In the end I’m still having trouble effectively replacing a bassist and drummer with loopers and sequencers. It's a bit more of an expensive option to go that route, but I'm really convinced that it is a top shelf solution.Ĭlick to expand.I’m with you on the drumbrute, that and the volca series seems more aimed at the electronic music crowd, which is cool but I think I’m going to keep looking around, maybe see what stuff comes up on sale as Black Friday nears. Just watch some videos on how it is used and prepare to be blown away. With that in mind, if you had a device or computer to house a sound library, you could get their BeatStep Pro and use it as your drum controller. What I will say about the DrumBrute series is that their sequencer section is INSANELY intuitive and really fun to play with as a live instrument. The ones I mentioned are (basically) sample based, so you've got a bit more variety for sounds, especially with the DR or an MPC kinda deal. Psych and ambient, they'd probably be great.
#Dr220 or rhythm doctor full size#
The full size has more options, but the sounds aren't ones that sit well in classic rock or stoner genres. I don't think they'll work for you in all cases purely because they are analog drum synthesizers and thus have sonic limitations. The DrumBrute (and Impact) are interesting machines. SDRUM, Boss DR-880 or an MPC type thing makes the most sense to me.
