The Drumbrute vs Drumbrute Impact: Et tu, Brute? | Synth Stories

Both drum machines are really wonderful. i just have a slight preference for the impact at this point in time. here's the story behind why.

[@Leo-qs4gx]

wow, I just got this recommend and your videos are so entaining. you deserve waaay more subs

[@travisdumais2538]

comments like this really make my day. hoping to make more videos like this once my album is finally finished!! two weeks ::)

[@hrolque]

awesome review man! Just ordered an Impact because of this vid, keep em coming! Greetings from the Dominican Republic.

[@travisdumais2538]

heck yessss so glad you got one. how are you liking it? also hello from RI in the US

[@sebnav9538]

excellent ! can't wait for more stories.

[@Steveness100]

This was amazing! Thanks for the best review ever! 👍

[@travisdumais2538]

awwww soo appreciate it. did it help resolve the dramatic conflict between the two in your mind? in other words, what one did you go with?

[@sirseve]

What a masterpiece of a Video! Lets get a drumbrute impact then!

[@pavelt1538]

Do you know the feeling when your favourite character finally appears in a movie? I had this exact feeling. You made me even more proud of my drum machine!

[@travisdumais2538]

yessss! im assuming your character is the impact? gosh i love that drum machine. but im also warming back up to the og. sounds are nice

[@tomgibavitch1]

Quite the enjoyable presentation. I love the Drumbrute Impact as well.

[@travisdumais2538]

gosh the kick is just so kicky. i've got an album coming out soon featuring the db impact. BRUTIS!

[@binocularfilms]

the slow motion head wreath did it for me....bravo

[@travisdumais2538]

oh yess that's a classic

[@ren3ran3]

Fantastic video! I love this series already!

[@travisdumais2538]

yay! the next one is likely going to be about the minilogue and take 5

[@roggyo]

@@travisdumais2538 When is it going to be a video about Take 5? Please make it if you can! So or so there are not many reviews about Take 5, comparing to other synths.

[@deathragecollective3362]

this is the best review video i've ever seen

[@travisdumais2538]

this is an amazingly high complement and so appreciated. what did you end up going with?

[@freezingcocacola7201]

So many people say about limited modulation options with 'impact' but ...as far as I know it's always possible to apply filter on your pattern (or on its specific components like only "the kick") after exporting the sound to DAW...

[@sambsounds]

the only synthfluencing I can get behind

[@travisdumais2538]

bless your soul, much more soon

[@mdonchek]

Bravo!

[@travisdumais2538]

bravissimo!

[@M0ritsch]

great story telling haha .D

[@travisdumais2538]

ty!! ..)

[@simonpettersson6788]

The impact does indeed have a separate out for the toms. I was also confused about this but if you connect all of the kick, hats, snare and FM outputs the tom output will be on the mix out.

[@Shoggy56]

Interesting and different 🤠

[@skippymcgillicuddy1489]

I will refer to "Bo Beats" as "Bob Eats" from this day forward. Sorry, Bo. It's now canon.

[@travisdumais2538]

this is the way

[@shelfdiscs]

Especially as I was just trying to decide between the Impact or the Behringer rd-8. Definitely leaning toward the Impact.....I think.....less instruments ....less individual outs...but more more versatile tweakable kick and snares....

[@didoplayz1952]

That teddy bear was so innocent...

[@travisdumais2538]

yesss a sacrifice was made…. to the gods of internet consumerism. bow down before it’s power!!!

[@orb203]

"Brutus." - Dr. Ronald Chevalier

[@travisdumais2538]

lol not sure the reference ::)

[@shedskin8]

Wow

[@travisdumais2538]

exactly

[@Mr.Marbles]

all i want is an impact with all the missing sounds from the drumbrute. especially rim, clave and that tambourine.

[@jdata777]

Can someone help me do both machines have clap

[@jjrtech7806]

Bob eats? Bobs Burgers?

[@adamchisum2150]

The best part of this video is the Ave Maria synth at the end

[@d3maccus]

yo haha funny vid. I have impact, love the thing....was curious if i was missing out on OG at all. I like the idea of more individual outs, voices, and also the filter. If you see this, do you the individual outs by-pass the filters like the impact outs bypass distortion?

[@travisdumais2538]

yep they do! bypass that is

[@d3maccus]

@@travisdumais2538 nice nice. its funny I bought the impact first, and i was considering the OG because of the more individual outs. The impact's make due, but it would be nice to split the separate snares and symbols also. I would need a crazy patchbay/interface/mixer to have that many individual outs with other synths for bass and lead for a live jam, tho. anyways...VERY NICE video, I am seeing the DB get love lately, I think the naysayers are out of their mind. if you click my name youll be met with the drumbrute haha.

[@SuperPogu]

I know it is anathema to your point, but now I kinda want both.

[@travisdumais2538]

lol do it! i have both. and i actually am using both on my album ::)

[@jeanchristianSelles]

❤

[@jean-baptiste9230]

So the hi hats are better on the brute and has a amazing randomness while impact has a better kick and snare therefore much better? I have got this right?

[@travisdumais2538]

the cymbal on the og brute is better. both have randomness. kick is way better on impact ::)

[@jameslast3192]

Great outfit!

[@22z83]

IMO Impact sounds more 808ish and traditional. If I want those sounds I'd rather just pull them up in the DAW. I love how liquid and weird the OG sounds especially when you play with the filter.

[@travisdumais2538]

yeah ive actually been using the OG again and that filter does have almost like a liquid sound to it. esp with the resonance boosted

[@stevebrown5597]

Tea came out of my nose!

[@travisdumais2538]

im all about the tea, especially from the nose, best filtered that way

[@rachelar]

Oooh, you brute

[@travisdumais2538]

I try!!! noice ::) thank you

[@fransdegroot9778]

Your outfit is Nice to muscle.

[@smuglydepressed]

Fantastic stuff. I kind of want a DB Impact, and this video is doing well to sway me. BUT, I have a Korg Volca Drum atm, and that's holding me over for now, because it can make some REALLY fat sounds. I don't really play live, so the small form factor of the Volca isn't really a bother.

[@travisdumais2538]

its all about the fat thing juicy spicy kicks. any updates on if you got the DB?

[@smuglydepressed]

@@travisdumais2538 Have not! Money's been tight so I haven't had the chance to, plus other things are taking priority when I do have spending money. Maybe in the future.

[@josephhorsch9795]

I don’t know what the hell this was but I’m going with the Impact.

[@travisdumais2538]

haha good choice

[@artemstamina515]

Ого, чуваче! Це дуже хороше відео, я тобі вдячний! Але, як на мене, про Impact мало було сказано. Я зараз стою перед вибором яку драммашинку собі придбати. Мені дуже подобається, що DrumBrute має такий широкий спектр звуків, але усі кажуть, що Impact сочніший! Але ж там 10 звуків :(( Я дуже вагаюсь та не знаю що саме мені обрати...

[@adamjacques4461]

Привет! Это друг Трависа - он хотел говорить с тобой но он не говорит по-украинский. Надеюсь, что это хорошо отвечаем на русском (и что ты понимаешь русский язык). Он говорит: во-первых, спасибо за твой комплимент! Но я согласен, DrumBrute имеет широче диапазон звук. Если тебе ничего, что твой кик и малый барабан слабее, то DrumBrute лучший выбор. Вот два примеры каждого музыкального инструмента в контексте. Дрякую! )) Drumbrute: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4qXg6ttlNCHqpY Drumbrute Impact: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6mpoJ6fnb2dhck

@@adamjacques4461 ​ @travis dumais Хлопці! Щиро дякую вам за змістовну відповідь! Я все ж таки буду купувати Impact, тому що я зрозумів, що використання "Color" дає можливість для модернізування любого звуку (окрім Cow) і виходить, що у ньому не 12 звуків, а цілих 23! (якщо використовувати "Color) Мене це повністю влаштовує. Дуже дякую вам, ви кльові!
