I have a Roland TR-8S drum machine. Or rhythm performer as it it calls itself. There's no way of making it not sound wanky.
It's really good fun to fuck about on but about 6 months in I still haven't really got a clue what I'm doing. There's the technical aspect of it, which is knowing what all the settings do, and the creative aspect of putting it all together coherently, which is something my brain just isn't made for.
I think I find it a bit too organic and clean sounding, and I should have gone for a
Machinedrum, so I'm thinking of trading at some point.
