Any drum modules that don't clone old classics?

I'm pretty much at the point where I'm thinking about crossing the bridge into dedicated drum modules (or more accurately percussive modules).
I really want a totally in the box solution. I can create great percussive sounds with all the modules I have but there are times when I don't want to tie those up from other uses.
Right now I'm leaning towards adding the Mutant HiHats, BassDrum and Snare or Mutant Machine. Most of the drum modules used to emulate certain series simple don't have enough CV control for my liking.
It'll take me another case to make it happen so I'm trying to do my due diligence before taking that step.

Hmmm, that was a playlist so that may be why the video tags did not work. Here it is as a link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... mHcUiiwm2H

The Telharmonic's Noise output combined with your choice of LPG can do some very nice sounds. Throw in some PEG, RCD, PLFO, and/or Maths modulation and you're all set.
The Cwejman S1 with envelopes in log mode can do some very snappy percussion stuff.
The BLD can produce amazing low kicks.
The cool thing about modular is (usually no menu diving) for drum sounds, so you can work the whole thing easily.

Another EMW module I always come back to is the Analog Drum Synth. It does soooooooo much. I have so many drum modules, but that still ends up being the one I come back to most often.MindMachine wrote: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.
Pleasant song 
Where is the download button? ;-)

This track has been mastered (plug: http://www.audibleoddities.com/ ), so it's not exactly what came out of the synth, but it's still a useful demonstration of what can be done with simple building blocks.

I've used a variety of approaches and found each has its own pros and cons.
At one end you can easily create drum/percussive sounds from standard modules used for a synth voice (osc/env/filter/vca/etc.). Tons of flexibility. The downside is you can quickly eat up a lot of module functionality putting together a 'drum kit' to sequence.
On the other extreme are the TT style modules. Relatively simple and limited but that's the point. Some sounds are so commonly used for certain genres that you might want a small, inexpensive solution to the sound without having to wire up and use a few modules each and every time.
In the middle are the dedicated drum and related single voice modules that have extensive CV flexibility and more sophisticated architectures (e.g. BLD, Mutant Machine, Braids, Elements, etc.) For me these typically are the sweet spot of creative possibility with practicality.
I recommend a blend of all three (though if you get your bread and butter sounds from other sources [e.g. drum machine] then you could skip right to the more flexible options)
