Any drum modules that don't clone old classics?

Hexinverter.net Mutant Machine. You can make snare drums. And much more...

As far as digital options go: Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas is very interesting, and seems to be capable of a lot. Mungo Enterprises p0 is physical modeling and really doesn't emulate anything except.. Well, things it models.

Also, the mutants are actually 808 clones (except the mutant machine which is a 909 clone) but they do go far beyond the rolands for manual and cv control and external processing etc. and can get quite non-roland sounding. The mutant machine really goes beyond... it's a 909 snare clone but goes so far beyond that it can also do 909 toms or kick pretty well and a whole world of glitchy non-roland sounds.

Mutant Clap is also based on the 909. Really looking forward for the mutant machine, although i think it will be quite a pricey kit.

No filtering or anything else was used after vcNOIZ in this track. All percussive elements are straight from vcNOIZ and recorded as samples for this short and simple arrangement.

this is quite wonderful!

My bad... I always thought it sounded a touch more 808ish but I'm sure you are right.

The machine is super fun and I haven't even gotten super crazy with it.

could you speak more about the handclap patch? that is something I've been attempting to achieve as of late. I can make a nice hat sound, but the clap is eluding me.

Has Future Sound Systems been mentioned?

Out of production and pricey as hell but the drum sounds via vacuum tubes in the Metasonix D-1000 are in a class all their own (though perhaps not to everyone's taste). The R-54 can generate a killer kick drum by striking its cv input with gates/triggers of varying lengths, so no need to use up any envelope or vca modules.

And almost forgot to mention Mysteron, awesome percussive abilities:

The Analogue Solutions modules based on the TR-808 also allow sounds that the Roland cannot make. Perhaps not quite as much as some others in this thread, but you can adjust very long decay on some sounds, pitch some sounds the TR cannot pitch and other things.

Not sure if anyone mentioned the Mod Brane 11? Horrendous interface and design but sounds decent and can do a lot of tricks.

Another vote for Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas that thing is amazing.

I recently got my hands on the Jomox ModBrane / Modbase and they are both killer. The panel graphics are a bit funky but I think the interface is great. CV assign is a cinch. Stuff them inputs with rhythmic envelopes and they really come alive. Internal LFO's can be modulated so you can get away with a few EG's and have chronic amount of movement. I've read some people were unhappy with the ModBrane. I thinks them crazy.

Agreed, these are awesome, acoustic eurorack modules

I couldn't see any mention of the Synthrotek DS-M. It's loosely based on the Coron DS-8, so I suppose you could say it's a kind of clone, but not based on the typical Roland drum machines, and it's very versatile.

I haven't used one, but I imagine that MI's Elements would have masses of percussive possibilities. Someone mentioned Braids already, but I'll just note that in addition to the specific drum modes, using the internal envelopes could turn plenty of the other modes into stand-alone percussion machines.

Ladik also makes 3 modules that add up to a Synare clone, plus a Twin-T drum module for simple kick, tom and block sounds.

a few favorite drum modules...

barton DDN and its three software variations are nice and quirky
http://www.bartonmusicalcircuits.com/ddn/

Baton FM drum
http://www.bartonmusicalcircuits.com/fmd/

blue lantern asteroid bass drum

dredrum from buranelectrix

delptronics thunderclap

MFB stuff

anything by gieskes

Vermona DRM-1 (outboard gear, but with optional trigger inputs) -- this sounds nothing like vintage analog drumkits, it has its own unique character for sure and 9 knobs per sound

ronaldroy · Post by **ronaldroy** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 8:06 pm

Shapeshifter and Cyclebox have very good percussion modes. I stupidly sold mine and might have to buy one or other back.

MindMachine · Post by **MindMachine** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 11:16 pm

I am using a ton of EMW Snare Lab. It has no cv controls but with all of the knobs and switches you can dial in a wide variety of old beatbox snares, cymbals, toms and noises. From old home organ drum machine to Tangerine Dream snares. It is fairly big in HP but is a very inexpensive and usable module. I mix it with the EMW Noise Station to make it stranger.

The TT HATS909 can do all sorts of metallic sounds and thumps way beyond 909 Hats.
