Enjoy our attempt to compare three exceptional drum machines for every budget: BEHRINGER RD-9, MODOR DR-2 and JOMOX Alpha Base!

[@eyesintheskies]

I’d like the Modor with the engine of the the jomox at the price of the behringer please 🙏

[@peterking3131]

JOMOX is grandfather of modern classic style drum machines. Alphabase is the best of all three, no doubt.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

love my Jomox eurorack bass drum module!

[@substance90]

The blind tasting was very easy to guess. You can immediately recognize a Jomox kick! Danke für den tollen Vergleich 🙌

[@Digiphex]

I think Jomox should have put 4 Mbranes on there and not 1, because it is so versatile.

[@universalvibe72]

We have the XBASE 999, thought about the ALpha however….the 999 does the job. Hard to part with. Great video.❤

[@GiantsOrbiting]

Awesome video, i loved it. The best drum machine in the past was the one most hated. Yet, super creative pioneers made it the most sought after. I feel like history is repeating itself Edit: im bad at spelling

[@serdarsaydan]

amazing and thank you sooo much for all the insides. i never touched the modor but i am fine and in love with the AB 😅. bests from berlin

[@_P_M_]

The Jomox reminds me of a so much of a computer I saw in Byte magazine in the late 70's. I doubt I'll ever own one, but it is so cool. Great job on the video as always.

[@Relyick]

I love my RD-9

[@MySilver5oh]

Man, I’ve had a lot of drum machines. Some I shouldn’t have parted with (Jomox X-base 09 being one of them), but having just acquired the RD-9, I can say that it is a really fun machine to jam with. Putting aside all of the “it doesn’t sound like a real 909” crap, I can assure you, that the RD-9 hits hard! I’d love to snag an Alph base one day too.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

same here and the best sounding drum machines are my DFAM, modular drums, and RYTM. The Roland boutiques need a lot of effects processing to sound good and hate the Roland user interface so poor on the recreation of TB303 and TR08

[@korberd]

Ohja, wie man aus dem FX-Menu rauskommt bei der Alpha Base, ist jedes mal spannend ^^ Danke fürs Video! Grüße aus Köln

[@GeekGearSynths]

FX ist bei der AB vom OS-Design Instrument 12. Wäre cool, wenn es eine zwölfte Taste dafür geben würde.

[@el_dani]

Ah 909 🤤 maybe I have to rethink my Behringer ban..

[@2point7182818284590]

I didn't realize before that the Alpha Base (my drum machine of choice) is so much smaller than the others. BTW it appears that there are gestörte Lieferketten, the mug didn't arrive yet...

[@winesynths]

We had some logistic delays going on! Corona, Holidays etc… But everything will be fine soon! 🌻

[@2point7182818284590]

@@winesynths No problem :)

[@vincewizz8534]

Great video, thanks!

[@demonkoryu]

I liked the RD-9 kick the best, and the Jomox came second. Still, all three are very nice sounding machines!

[@gainofdysfunction4135]

X-tended ist nicht leicht zu finden per suchmaschine.. hat was gedauert. Wäre gut die zu linken.

[@winesynths]

Ich weiss auch gar nicht, ob die überhaupt noch Kunden annehmen. Und wenn, kann es echt lange dauern.

[@JohnCameron-sx8de]

What FX did you use with the RD9 for the kick drum sounds great.

[@winesynths]

No FX.

[@NickHchaos]

No Vermona? I have AB and Drm Mk IV Trigger. Together it’s like a yin-yang delicious percussion oreo of complimentary opposites. Really a shame what the MIDI revolution did in some ways-having trigger in for every voice adds so many more creative live possibilities when you have a modular system, or even just one good module (fantastic to use with Vermona’s Random Rhythm module!)

[@winesynths]

Only a Vintage Vermona Drum Machine available here! 😃

[@NickHchaos]

@@winesynths a shame, I think the DRM is a classic, there’s not really anything like it.

[@Matt4star]

I looked at a modor and bought an alpha base. Outside sequencers help unlock even more fun with the jomox. It goes into my studio really well. Modor is still on my list but I would take a look at the lxr-02. Not as many options but sounds great!

[@winesynths]

Yeah! I also had the Erica in mind when I planned this video. But finally I found it too far away from the classic drum machine concept. 😁🍀

[@Matt4star]

@@winesynths I think the modor and lxr and closer related tbh. All and all I would still buy a modor and a rd-9 lol. Nice video. 😊

[@JS-wd2bk]

I'm on the same situation.Have the AB but love the Modor also.Its a bit difficult to resist.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

true the Erica stuff is geared toward more modern hard hitting EDM and industrial sounds@@winesynths

[@SIAKPHDLIVE]

Great vid! Thanks!

[@komabot5285]

Seems best to have all ;)

[@xusdom]

Noway....You build the Rave-o-lution? My first Synth...all started with this Machine...

[@winesynths]

I did not exactly build it, but I was kind of involved in the whole process 😁: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKHJq2eqmLKDaNE

[@XanderEwald]

Jomox will always be my favorite kick drum.

[@christopherpederson1021]

the sanples sound insane through the vca also

[@raven-jz6cv]

2 jomox and a keystep with a sherman+meet maude and you have a whole dark techno album..

[@georat16]

What is the small black box to the right of the Modor and what is it doing? P.S. As I was watching I needed to take a break so I stopped the video then noticed I had stopped at nine minutes and nine seconds!

[@winesynths]

909! The magic numbers! 😁 All about the black box: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqXIkqeOiceapKMsi=-jcyFkkcq2yjjG_H

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

nice but you need to add the Perkons, LXR02 and Rytm to the comparison to make it complete!

[@winesynths]

Erica is not really cooperative and Elektron is just not my cup of tea. 😁

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

understand!@@winesynths

[@x0d-live]

Did you really replace a tr-909 w/ an RD-9?!?! I can see selling it to fund lots of other things, but... I sure miss my 909 (sold it 20+yrs ago when I wanted to go all digital/daw and I still regret that decision today).

[@winesynths]

Totally! RD-9 rocks! A friend just lend me his TR-707 the other day. It's nice, but now I really don't miss my old 707/727 duo anymore. It's still fun to play and sounds nice. But for everyday studio production, the RD's is simply the better tool now. Also, over the 909. Just for all the MIDI to analog sync possibilities! And the RD-9 also sounds very authentic. After all, a dry 909 or 808 is not as spectacular as people might think. It always needs processing and single out mixing to sound really great. If you know how to do it, the Behringer IMHO totally does the job! And I am really not a vintage Taliban. I also like to simply play drum machine samples in my Ableton Drum Rack on the Push2. To me, the best and most versatile drum machine that exists.

[@DayflightTrok]

Very good

[@frankenfrank9553]

I only have a small Volca drum and in the long run, I want to get a drum machine with more options and boom. These are more or less golden times in terms of the amount of equipment on the market (less good times for the wallet). It is difficult to choose one device over the other. Well, I don't know how difficult it is for a KZbin channel to get temporally provided test equipment? A video of the Soma Pulsar 23 and Erica Synths Perkons HD-01 would be exciting.

[@winesynths]

I already reached out to Erica for the Perkons. But this is a video project for early next year. I am also waiting for the Drumlogue! 🍀

[@frankenfrank9553]

@@winesynths Nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the Drumlogue and Perkons HD-01on your channel.

[@synthmaven]

The sibilance.. ! Ouch !

[@eyesintheskies]

Sound & analogue mojo goes to the jomox, sexiness & sequencer to the Modor, bang for buck to the behringer.

[@eancurtis9333]

Awesome

[@x10dc90]

Have you tried sampling these drum machines? Maybe you could do a comparison with the real sound of the drum machine vs the sampled reproduction doing the same pattern. That would be fun.

[@winesynths]

Of course! I love Abletons Drum Rack a lot, especially in combination with the Push2 it's just like a Drum Computer! And, of course, I always feed it with my own samples! But at the end, the real drum machines often have this special groove that is hard to reproduce in the DAW.

[@x10dc90]

@@winesynths Yeah, hardware will be better for the workflow IMO, though changing the pitch or speed of the samples can't be done with analog gear like the RD-9 except for the digital sounds of course. I'm gonna sample my RD-6 so that I can play reverse cymbals on my Volca Sample.

[@NTRSN-Archive]

The Jomox sounds processed i mean he have more the sound of a typical dance mixed track . The RD9 have more the natural 909 sound and processing is on the user .

[@isaac.anthony]

The only way that TR8s isn't the best drum computer, is because it doesn't have class compliant USB and no VST companion for the DAW. Other than that, it's a great box!

[@isaac.anthony]

Roland editor calls home every time you open and doesn't keep track of the playing sequence, it makes me sad.

[@the_JTowny]

Rd9 for the win. Go ULI

[@christopherpederson1021]

lol, no. alpha base sounds huge, and punches for days

[@the_JTowny]

@@christopherpederson1021 no? 🤦🏼

[@Marc_Angel]

1:00 I listen with monitor speakers dude.

[@wackerburg]

Interesting comparison / lineup. I agree, they are pretty different. And I disagree with the Alpha Base being able to sound like a 909. Which is a good thing imho. With this model, Jürgen finally let loose of the idea, so the Alpha Base really has its own, unique and to my ears GREAT sound. I'd buy one in a second if I had the space. I never really looked at the Modor DR-2, but this one is very special, too. Likable. Regarding the RD-line, I just don't like their sound and also the timing. Out of these, the RD-9 is the least harmful to my ears and well-being 😀 #RolandTR909 for life \m_

[@winesynths]

Thank you Hans! Your comment is highly appreciated as you are defintely a „Drum Machine Heavy User“! 😁👍

[@wackerburg]

@@winesynths 100% guilty of this, yes 😀

[@NickHchaos]

I must be the only person who completely doesn’t like the 909, for the most part, but much more fell in love with the 808 feeling and sounds, owned 2 yocto clones and used the hell out of them. That being said, I sold them and bought an AB, it’s a pretty amazing device.

[@wackerburg]

@@NickHchaos Happy you! 🙂 Fulfilling _my_ dreams was a tad more expensive, but well... I could not resist and am also happy now. The AB is great I think.

[@NickHchaos]

@@wackerburg for the most part, I think drum machines are pretty boring and cliched, especially compared to the possibilities in modular synths (and actually, I think the same thing about most integrated/non modular synths), but I am also someone who came into synths after 15 years of playing classical guitar and the only thing I spent money on in that time was new strings once a month. So it depends on your perspective.

[@effebidi9677]

if modor dr-2 could be at least half his size, maybe.

[@automationtraveler]

Jomox all day long

[@t.n.3819]

Jomox blows the others away. RD-9 is cool too, but a little too true to the original to excite me. The Modor I just don't get the appeal of, especially when considering its price tag. I also think all of the Modor stuff is hideous... their design language sucks, I'm sorry.
