Selling Point

Sound
The sound of DrumBrute is based on the best of the best classic analog drum sounds. Sound profiles were created from the past but then the circuits were designed to build up DrumBrute’s own sound signature. Two styles of kick drums, wide ranging snare and clap setting, two hi hats with tone and separate decay times, reverse cymbal, zap and more. DrumBrute offers a wider sound palette than any other analog drum machine bellow 1500€/$.

Experience
DrumBrute is designed to give musicians the same great hands-on experience they get from our other award winning Brute instruments. All sound parameters can be changed instantly and set with the nice intuitive interface. DrumBrute is truly easy to use! No need to read the manual!

Perfomance
DrumBrute is not only about creating a beat: it’s also about tweaking it and making it evolve in real time! DrumBrute adds loads of innovative features like our Step Repeat, Pattern Looper, Mute/Solo groups, song mode, Randomness and Swing functions per track. Finger drummers will love the ability to play quantised or semiquantised on ultra sensitive pads.

Connectivity
DrumBrute is the only analog drum machine in its price category to offer as much as 12 separate audio outputs! DrumBrute is a swiss army knife for syncing your gear. It will basically sync with any set up: Eurorack, vintage Roland gears, Korg Volca, DAW, MIDI devices…
