Drum machines

A drum machine is musical hardware built to imitate the sound of electronic drums and other percussive instruments. Drum machines are usually box-shaped and feature a keypad similar to that of a computer. This piece of hardware designed to sequence drum sounds such as kicks, toms, snares, cymbals and more into a musical pattern. Drum machines rely on sequencing to play drum patterns. These are the steps you insert each sound into to build your track. Each individual machine varies in polyphony (how many sounds it can make from one slot). Once the machine plays through all steps at a tempo of your choice, it will repeat the pattern from the beginning. From there, it’s about how many sequences you want to add to build your songs and how you want each step to sound. You can even alter your beat as it plays using effects and filters. A drum machine is a great way to lay down beats from scratch and get creative with sounds. You also do not need to get anyone else involved in the making of your music. Or on the contrary, a drum machine can be used to invite new sounds. For those of you into your experimental music, EDM or anything else electronic, a drum machine is an absolute essential – especially if you plan on playing live. Drum software plugins are a good alternative, but where the hardware has the upper hand is its tactile use in allowing you to change parameters on the fly. It makes the whole experience more engaging.

If you have a drum machine, you technically do not need anything else to make music. It has all the sounds – it just depends on the model as to whether you’ll hear it play through external speakers, headphones or inbuilt speakers. Recording a drum machine is really simple. Just plug it into your audio interface, press record on your DAW and hit play. Some models run in stereo, while others are mono. Obviously, this determines potential panning and FX. A lot of drum machines can sequence sounds from other electronic kit through MIDI connection. Building up melodic loops and layers with favourite synths provides even more access to cool sounds and lets you get on with fiddling with parameters or playing another instrument.
