Stimming needs a weekly review

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Just send us weekly new gear 😏

[@krass76]

nah, most routine things get boring/tiresome eventually. Just let him do reviews when he feels like it!

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

👍

[@soundethersinfo135]

Not only he does cover all the machine features, but he plays it so well, and has that nice humor that simply makes me pleasantly smile during the whole video.

[@rars0n]

This guy... I only started watching these reviews earlier today and I immediately love this guy. Such great insight into all of this stuff. 20-some minutes of Stimmer talking about the machine and how he would use it along with demonstrating what he can do with it is much more useful than watching half a dozen other "reviews" or "demos" because none of them cover the truly important stuff from a use perspective and none of them are capable of actually demonstrating what is really possible using the machine as much as he is. I don't need to have someone start recording and say "this is the LFO, watch what happens when I turn it." Honestly these reviews are killing most of the other reviews/demos for me. Time well-spent watching these. Stimmer makes me like machines that I would have thought I would dislike based on other people's demos (no surprise thanks to his talent). Also I find it much easier to compare this stuff before purchase based on how he evaluated them and how I would use them. Very, very useful information here.

[@therealfaintinggoat]

I have absolutely no interest in this device but I can’t get enough videos of Stimming. Arguably the most honest and entertaining reviewer on KZbin.

[@TheLaptop12]

he could review every drum machine out there because i just wanted to listen to his jam

[@m.g.kroger]

This is one of the best review ever. Clear, in-depth explained, played enough to prelisten to the device, and with such a nice sense of humor.

[@spycht7436]

stimming gives the most brutal honest reviews on gear.. if manufacturers aren't paying attention they are failing to utilize a great source of inspiration.

[@Towly263]

And thats not a bad thing ;)

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

def not :-)

[@voreshbo7031]

Halleluja 😂❤🎉

[@knocturnaljimmy]

Excellent review. Would like to see more from Stimming int he future - far more honest than many other reviewers

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

There are some more already - kzbin.info/aero/PLfRh37c5lvivSDyrYwwCm1H1xJrp0aj4M

"I SWITCHED THE PATTERN" hahahahaha beautiful review

[@matthewbutcher2931]

I love this guy! He looks like he's having an amazing time, really fun and informative.

[@darrinbisson8914]

Awesome review. And your pattern at the end - really good. Didn’t want it to stop!

[@dave_s_vids]

What an awesome review, thank you! Fantastic jamming at the end too :D

[@LynxSocial]

I'm so excited- I just ordered one! That sequencer looks super fun!

[@chitlun]

What I love about your reviews are the no bullshit approach and the moments where you find ‘that something’ and go off on one! Peace ✌️

[@MikeRenouf]

Not often a gear review shows a top quality musician really put the kit through its paces and jam on it. Also Stimming is hilarious. Love it.

[@ultrasyd]

I often come to that video and directly jump to 18:55 :D

[@ultrasyd]

Also i've just bought one yesterday :D Thanks Stimming. And I think it is actually velocity sensitive when i use it as a controller in my DAW, very useful for the randomizer function when i wanna work with a sample kit

[@ultrasyd]

I still often come to that video for that exact moment

[@GearAddict90210]

You halfstep demo at the end made me want one. It's #1 on my current want-list now. I never had a drum-synth besides the Electribe ER-1, the Drumbrute Impact seems versatile enough use in place of samples.

[@intergrippo3779]

Loving the way your loving this thing. You always give honest reviews, and you were really grooving with it. I’ve got a tr8-s, but for stripped down banging techno, this looks the ticket. Still smiling at your fun. Nice.

[@moogsmiley4157]

Run the Drumbrute Impact into the TR8S input then you got 2 drum machines in one that's what i did!

[@volfore]

I love your use of the onboard effects. You push them right to the point where it’s almost too much, but still tasteful. Especially reverbs.

[@nmfl100]

Well, that was a great review. You make some great sounds with this mini beast, I'm getting one for sure.

[@badx001]

Bitte mehr Gear Reviews von Stimming in kleineren Abständen. Das macht Laune. Super Typ!

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Hängt halt immer davon ab was der Markt gerade zu bieten hat.

[@udw.boicot]

Love Stimming hardware reviews.. he goes to the detail!

[@TheSonorabob]

Thank you... I heard the ad, and the distortion seemed to be the most interesting personality trait, which was exploited quite nicely here.

[@StrayMedicine]

Got a microfreak about two months ago, his review convinced me immediately. Might have to look into one of these eventually too.

[@tylergates4075]

Finally someone shows off the full decay of the snare . Thank you

I dig this guy. Very charismatic and talented. I recently picked up one of these machines. Gr8 machine! Watching this vid really opened new doors of inspiration for me. I love the way he ends the video. I agree.

[@enchanterthetim]

damn bro that last track sounded so good, great job!

[@teamyogaforce3239]

Awesome review. You really know how to tweak these knobs, damn....

[@MichaelMoore-bx6st]

Nice review! You show lots of personality and get really good results. I love that colored kick sound. For the price, it sounds like a no brainer. It will compliment my minibrute 2S nicely.

[@trevor4835]

The outro jam was fantastic. Makes me want one pronto

[@N1h1L3]

18:55 "NJEA, AH AH AH AH, I SWITCHED THE PATTERN !". That distortion sold it to me, after seeing a B-stock at my fav shop.

[@Ferrichrome]

You make this thing sound so, so good!

[@Sim0nPeter]

great demo! checking this machine out for sure

[@josipvulic5471]

"It's a bit OUCH! Sorry for that." is my favourite moment in all of this... nicely reviewed all in all

[@MrMichaelHeat]

Ja herlich;...wie immer! Jetzt macht der Mann topsolide Musik & wie immer könnt´ich ihm stundlenang zusehen, wie er Geräte testet, previewed, reviewed u.s.w. Da sehe ich irgendwie ein Konzept. Und mal wieder ganz herzliches Dankeschön :-)

[@FernandoAb]

I have no intention of buying this drum machine but I watched the video bc it's Stimming doing the review. The guy is always fun and full of insights.

[@tawkinhedz]

"I like this distortion, even though i will never use it" truer words have never been spoken

[@johnsterthemonster9181]

Watching you get lost and have fun towards the end is what sold it for me. Just bought it thanks to this video.

[@dustinmccrindle343]

Congrats on the purchase. I got one early December. I'm a noob at electronic music, guitar is my main instrument, but this is so simple to use and drums/rhythm are such a primal part of music that it helps just give a base to what I'm writing and inspire some new things. For the price, it's a great machine!

[@yucuma6827]

Love this review!

[@rodrigolaporte274]

Excellent video! I like the fact that you give a very honest review, not only praising the machine, and also that you did it differently from others I've been watching. Very cool and original. Now to the machine, I think it sounds wayyyyy better than the original. The only 2 things that (for me) prevent it from being one of the best drum machines ever are that 1) you can't automate all the knobs, and 2) that it doesn't have some AD converter that sends 4 usb audio channels straight to the DAW, which would be much better for production. But as you said, for the price, you can't go wrong with this. I sure as hell will pick one when it's available here.

[@andrew446]

Totally agree upon the colour of the upper layer buttons.

[@30m3]

Great honest review.

[@deano111181]

Bought the Impact on the strength of this review, beast of a machine, synced with a Beatstep Pro, a Circuit and a Microfreak and its definitely holding it's own

[@noodlingaround2023]

I'm thinking about this for my microfreak.. Not too sure about the connections though. What do you connect to what..? Thank you

[@deano111181]

@@noodlingaround2023 BSP midi to Circuit, BSP clock to DBI and DBI clock to MF, works a treat

[@tsgodman4409]

I love ya man, your awkwardness and politeness is very refreshing, sometimes the colors just don't gel eh! I'm with you, we're all influenced by the aesthetic, it does make a difference too the energy of creation.

[@ninjaknightslive]

We really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@palindromial]

Finally a video in which you can't help yourself but be excited. For a cheap drum machine no less. Awesome! 😀

[@DigitalFactor]

I decided to buy an DrumBrute Impact after looking also this video, and what should I say. I love it! Also my little daughter (10 years) can work with the machine. Now the problem is, that anytime I'm in the studio she wants to play the Drum Brute....

[@LimeEye13]

Have her start making patterns and beats, she can pay her way through college!

[@markdaly8169]

First video I have watched on your channel..... I'm subscribed. Even if you don't have any other good videos, which I know won't be the case.... Too much fun on this thing as it turns a grown man into a child having the most fun it's ever had. I have been watching endless footage to help me decide on a couple of the VOLCA's or this crazy piece of kit. Think I just decided... (although I know the Drumbrute impact must have its limitations at this price). There must be so many people that forget to even link it upto their synth as hours pass just making beats & wow can this thing do that, especially if you are an EDM addict like myself.... I think I have just used my dopamine levels for the week (if that's possible) listening to that bass!!! Sorry I never even got your name pal.... but great demo, thanks.

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Pretty sure you'll find some more here. At least some more Stimming reviews 😉

[@BigBadWolf..............]

It sounds decent and is very tweakable. I think using it as a midi controller with the velocity sensitivity and sequencer is going to be very useful. The lack of quantize if wanted is great. Thanks for the review

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

I have not owned an analog drum machine since the mid 1980s when I bought a new Roland707. The DrumBrute drum machine impressed me with its 4 individual outputs and mix output. Independent effects processing is easy and creative. And now that I have the best sounding sampler in the world, recording analog one shots and patterns into my sampler would really add to the creativity. Now that only the Impact is available, the other Arturia has been discontinued, the choice is simple.

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

The 707 is not an analog drum machine, I think you meant to say a hardware drum machine. Drumbrute Impact is lovely indeed and very very fun to use

[@256k_]

that half time jam was insane.

[@7177YT]

dope jam! Cheers!

[@Bronco541]

This was informative and entertaining

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

New review will be online Feb. 12

[@lennartstip6395]

less sounds but after having a drumbrute for a couple months (and watching this review a couple times) i think the impact is just the better of the 2 straight out of the box. awesome review.

[@RababaInc]

daaamn that jam at the end was filthyyy 🔥

[@KungFuBlitzKrieg]

Dude! You went bananas on that thing! I need one! :D

[@BenGaudi]

I love your conclusion :D

[@jimkraan4202]

I don't like the Impact for the stuff I want to do with it, but Stimming manages to get a sound out of the machine that 99% of the other videos just don't get anywhere near. Fantastic review, because drum machines really shine when they're in the right hands.

[@rars0n]

18:08 to finish, WOW. He made that thing BANG! This is my new favorite clip! I thought I didn't particularly like the sounds of the DrumBrute Impact until I heard Stimmer use it. He made it sound amazing. I've never heard anyone come close to this. "So the best thing is, this machine only costs 300 Euros. So... go buy one." 🤣

[@goodboid]

This is by far the best sounding review of the drumbrute impact out there. And I'm still not sold on the sound :( I need an effect per channel for it to be usable. Stimming you're a monster on it though. Great stuff.

[@CalendulaF]

Howbout this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKrPY5adnK6HsMk

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Honestly? 😬

[@CalendulaF]

Honestly! (Können diese Augen lügen?) In fact, I don't particularly dig the sound of either Arturia DrumBrute. Just sounds bland to me. At least, Sam beat the sh*t of it. Guess, that's why you call it a Beat Machine, no?

[@goodboid]

Arturia needed to steal the hi hats from someone, and sample it, just as Roland did. d3ep.com/news/creator-of-the-909-hi-hat-sues-house-music

[@bennydesign]

Hi there! Whats the nifty little box on the left you plugged the Drumbrute into?

[@sotokan5060]

Hello everyone, that's a very interesting review for the machine. I believe it definitely worths it for the price. I have a question though... It's related to the velocity sensitive pads. So for example, if you use the pads as a controller through midi out to another sequencer ( OT, Deluge or whatnot) and then you connect that other device back to the midi in of the Drumbrute impact, will you be able to play the Drumbrute Impact sounds with FULL velocity?? (yet sequencing them from another device). Also can you midi learn each of these voices/drum sounds of the Impact in let's say Synthstrom Deluge (or another midi sequencer)??
