The BD is a real “live” 909 indeed and I think the clap was, too, and crash cymbal, but the snare is a 909 snare from JV-2080 because it just sounded better 🤷🏻♂️ Hats are real, too. The rimshot indeed is an 808 one, but can’t remember if that was from the same sample CD or from the JV, but we didn’t have an 808. Shaker is from the JV, too.
Hey Darude!! We're so happy you checked out our video :) :) Thanks for all that first hand information, we really appreciate it!
You're the answer to any question.
Yooo!!! 😁
@@CaptainPikant And kinda surprised he wasn't insulted by the epic stylophone solo 😂 Still to this day always seeing the iconic video clip vividly in front of me when hearing this song (what's its name again?) 🧳😎👍 Such nostalgia.. 🥹 I need a pair of those early 2000s sunglasses now.. too bad mine all broke or got lost somewhere eventually
Hi Captain Pikant!! In your next video, would you analyze DJ Bobo's beats, from the singles of the 1992 Dance With Me album, to 2002 Celebration album?
Yay for Skinny Puppy getting their love and recognition for their use of the 909
Yes! Was suprised to hear this! Long live the Skinny Puppy!
Came just to check and make sure SP was on here.
@@buddycorner9240 same and it came up a few seconds in. They get not nearly as much honor in the synthy world in my opinion :)
@@buddycorner9240 haha yup, me too.
Brap on!
Kudos for giving Skinny Puppy credit for being electronic music pioneers.
Wow, that's nuts that Skinny Puppy starts the history off. Was not expecting that
Roland always missed a trick when their machines got popular in never reissuing their machines at the height of their popularity.
Very true. From interviews with the 909 engineers it seems that the management in Japan was pretty unaware of the popularity of their old analogue machines :)
Or re-released a hobbled version like the tr-09, ideal for everyone with tiny hands and who do not want individual outputs.
@@sugerbear586 Yes, and also with no sensible ears or feel for groove.
I mean there is the TR-8 and TR-8S
i actually am glad non american companies are still sometimes focused on simply releasing a good product and not milking it for every penny at the cost of the consumer
Pump up the hats, pump them up with the use of accent. Pump them up a little more, except the step after the 4/4. Cuz that's what makes those party hats and you'll find out if you do that.
😆🧡
that’s awesome! You get a star 🌟
I was not looking for this. I don’t know why it showed up in my feed. But I’m incredibly happier that I found it and watched it all including the outro. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a single UA-cam outro.
This channel is awesome I love it ❤
Fantastic, and what a pleasant surprise to see Skinny Puppy featured!
Perfect timing, I’ve been listening to nothing but Skinny Puppy for a year lol
Oooh wow that's intense 😂😂
Cevin key/skinny puppy just posted this video on his patreon! Was super cool to see that crossover of 2 of my favorite creators
@@Milk_Man_29 that's so awesome, we were really happy to hear that :)
@@Milk_Man_29 I need to become a patron of that duder lol
@@Milk_Man_29 my all time favorite electronic composer besides Author and Punisher was Dwayne Goettel with cEvin not far behind heh
Phil Collins wasn't afraid of drum machines taking his job because he is Phil Collins.
He understood how to use it WITH drumset!
@@VJFranzK i think it’s funny how Phil and SP often were using the exact same sounds to make completely different shit. I always wondered if Phil gave them a listen and what they thought of him
He wasn't afraid because he felt it coming in the air.
He would have been able to pursue as singer and/or song writer.
The claps at 2:54 instantly reminded me of John Farnham's "You're the Voice". That song begins with 909 claps just like that.
Great video. I suppose it is a rare bread of folk who enjoy listening to drum machine patterns. Count me in!
These videos about specific drum machines are the best. So jam packed with info and music I’ve never heard!
A new video from the Captain! The best way to start the weekend.
I don’t know anything about synthesizers but I love the dedication you put on your videos 🫶
Skinny Puppy “Monster Radio Man” from Back and Forth Series 2 is another fine early use of 909. Recorded around the same time as Remission.
The 909 kick is my favorite electronic drum sound😌 that thing slaps, punches, it's clicky if you want it to be, and it loves effects too lol
@@els1f my favorite 909 sound is te open hi-hat with the Nava Extra 9 with distortion pedal Elektron Analog Drive 😊
@@Aegean-Star absolutely agree! The whole thing is perfect tbh😌
The 909 is definitely my fave drum machine because it spawned one of my favourite genres. I'd genuinely love to see a video dedicated to Early Hardcore, especially as there are so many iconic tracks, and the sounds the producers got from distorting the kicks is just magical.
I can’t express in words how much I’m in love with this machine. It’s literally my youth
Yoi really need to do a video on Underworld
Their songs have crazy rhythms and melody and they made me fall in love with the 909
"Born Slippy" actually was another one of our favourites and in the final round of patterns for this video. I'm sure we'll get around to it someday! :)
@@CaptainPikant don't forget Dark & Long (dark train) that song made me obsessed with 909 hats.
@@devids51 hadn't heard that one yet, thanks for the recommendation! :)
When you click through all the sounds in the very beginning it gave me such a flashback to being in the studio, messing around in the beginning stages of writing a song. Love it!
"Pump up the jam" definitely used a sampled 909 and a delay on the hihats. It was very inspired, mildly speaking, by Farley Jackmaster Funk "The Acid life" that has a overdriven 808 with delay on the hihats
Absolutely the best content on the internet. I would love to hear more of the intern in these videos too. Maybe not just learning stuff but jams too. I don't know. I just know there's not enough content.
Thank you so much Mark :) :)
The 909 was also used on Latin Freestyle songs especially during the middle part of I'll be loving you by Collage that part just sounds awesome Adam Marano is a genius for mixing Latin Freestyle with Eurodance in that song
I wish System 7 got an episode at some point. They have some really nice drum tracks. The reason I thought about them now is that they collaborated with the mentioned Derrick May on some brilliant tracks such as "BIG SKY CITY" and "PROTOTYPE 1".
I've always thought that "Smothered Hope" is a song that was way ahead of its time. It's incredible that in 1984 a song with such a groundbreaking sound was released.
2:04 Now "Hunter" by Björk makes sense.
Man I love the end jam on this one, you've out done yourself :D
Thanks so much Jae ❤❤
The Stüssy style font used for credits needs a shout out!!!! Brilliant video.
Thank you so much, it's actually my handwriting :)
Being someone who grew up on punk and only got into EDM as an adult, this video has helped fill in a lot of context
I grew up with Metal as a kid now I'm an EDM fan because Latin Freestyle and Trance got me into EDM
YES Mantronix Bassline! I was wondering if that would be included when I saw this listed on my UA-cam timeline (and ready to scold if it wasn't). Bravo!
Glad you think so too, it's a really great pattern :)
Another very early 909 hip-hop track from 1985 - Schoolly D- PSK, What Does It Mean?: ua-cam.com/video/fQc4A-XBzBY/v-deo.html
@@SamUrtonDesignI'm glad someone mentioned Schoolly D. PSK and Gucci Time are legendary 909 tracks, the fact he used an actual orchestral reverb makes them even more crazy.
The thumbnail with Hawtin & Mills & Daft Punk & Madonna & Phil Collins makes me so happy😂
No video about the 909 would be complete without mentioning Soul II Soul’s ‘Keep on Movin’
I came here to say exactly the same. And lets not forget this drum loop was sampled in numerous different songs, most notable ones are from Enigma and Tom's Dinner by Susan Vega.
Pikant means spicy in the Dutch language.. And this tutorial is on fire! As always.
Keep up the good work!! (You and the pair of lady hands as well)
Greetings from a Dawless music creator from The Hague in The Netherlands.
Mooi! It has the same meaning here in Germany.
@@wackerburg really. I speak a bit of German but never knew that.
909 sounds are so clean iv not got a 909 but iv got 909 kits on my keyboard and samplers I'm a hiphop guy bit somethings I like to mess around making 909 dance patterns just cause they sound so good that hat and snare is what makes it so good
Back to Life and All Arround The World are favorites from my childhood and I think both use a lot of 909.
The 909’s history also includes me using it when it came out. It sounded amazing to my young ears
There can never be enough shout out for Mantronik. Absolute pioneer. He rarely gets mentioned but he created a great deal of what ended up becoming 'IDM'. Autechre give him huge credit but I think it's incredibly obvious that Aphex also ripped him off like crazy ....
Incredible quality. Thanks foe this 909 trip
Great job explaining the 909! I’m still in awe how well you know this machine.
I have genuinely become a better musician and composer from watching your videos. You've not only shown me artists i'd have never sought out on my own, but analyzed what made their art work in a way that's clear and easily translatable to flailing wildly at piano roll with only a keyboard, mouse, and a caffeinated beverage. Thank you. :)
Thank you so much Ruby, we're really glad to hear that :)
Great video, fun and informative from start to finish. Some great cross-genre links highlighted.
Lovely to see Skinny Puppy rightfully recognised as the pioneers they were at the start of it. CEvin Key is still breaking new ground 40 years on!
Oooh… Skinny Puppy! That beat me hooked me as a kid and has never left my head.
I love how deep your research and knowledge goes! Another great one!
Thanks, we really appreciate it! :) :)
That clap sound is giving “your call is important to us” 📞
Great video. A classic drum machine from hip hop, house, techno, rave & dance. Put to full effect on technotronic’s pump up the jam & 2 unlimited’s no limit and underworld’s born slippy 👊
THE ONLY DRUM MACHINE YOU NEED!!!
Here’s the shocker for me, as much as I love the 909 the 707 was my favourite! (Next video perhaps?)
Thank you for including Jeff Mills 🎉
Love the end jam, it's lush
Charli's Brat had a lot of 909 and 808 drums now that I'm thinking about it.
Lovely version of the Tejada track at the end. Thx for the video!
Adamski's Live and Direct album is 909 awesomeness.
I LOVE this channel and how you make the videos so visually easy to follow that I can immediately apply it to new projects!
Holy crap! John Tejada! I love his stuff!
"Yo Mantronix! I'll trade you Miss Tammy Baker, for your drum and computer!"
"No."
"What?"
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"Not good enough?"
"No."
"Get Stupid, Part III" - Mantronix
The GOAT is back with a brand new stack
And a 909 on every track🖖
i love 909 so much
Whenever I can’t decide what drum sample from the numerous house packs I’ve downloaded to use, I default to the 909. Works in the song every time.
So glad to see For Club Play Only get a mention. That EP completely changed the sound in the UK. Soon after, he deservedly got a #1, Disclosure released Settle. Deep House became hugely popular and blended into pop. Good times back then!
its cool to hear about its Midi compatibility, i always use a combination of various drum machine samples in my DAW when i want that oldschool sound
ugh, you’re reminding me that I need to finish my SR-909 build 😅
Great video, as always. Fun to see an appearance by the Vector in the outro!
Love it! Thanks for the overview
Thanks for another fantastic video and an opportunity to help! Sample pack for the RX-120 available at the site.
I truly look forward to your new content. Always so well produced and informative. Thank you! 🍻👍🏻
LC1 by Orbital is the one I always think of for the 909.
Thank you for this fantastic video. Can only imagine the amount of time and effort that went into it.
Stunning content! Absolutely fantastic. I'm hooked, thank you.
i don't have an idea why i am watching this at 3:57am local time, but these handclaps instantly reminded me the Cisco Hold Music or Opus no.1 as you wish
Outstanding as always!!!!
I like that beat programmed in the beginning the video Cut Master DC's Brooklyn's in the house
Probably the pikantest episode to date.
Cool video. I really dig this machine history format. Very nice.
Cheatcode Pikant: I start watching every video with the Patreon thanks song. ;)
😄
Great video. Love the way you layed out the video with the 9 0 9 llit up on your OXI as well as the 16 steps for each song you re-program
MAn what is that cool handwritten style font at the end of the video with all of the people you thanked
Thanks! That's actually my handwriting :)
Great stuff. Thank you!
Thanks Peter, we're glad you like it :) :)
What a great video !! Awesome Job
Fantastic work/video
Greetings from Brazil 🙌
Loved this, especially the song at the end, although I must nitpick that on Vogue the agogo was from the Alesis HR16 the same sample used twice tuned up and down. I only know coz I have one and recognised it straight away
Hi Tay! Since we already loaded in all those 727 samples and it has an Agogo we just used that one, but it's great to know where the original Agogo came from :) Thank you!
Yeah new video …..always a joy……..
I was not expecting the first band to be Skinny Puppy Smothered Hope they're my favorite band. This is a cool man. Keep it up..
Spicy as always. Thanks for another great video.
Fantastic history - cheers and best!
I once saw an interview about the Darude track and actually the long snare roll was done live by moving a mixer volume slider up manually.
True, that's another way to do it if you have two 909s. We also tried recording the snare twice, shifting it by a 32nd and fading it in, either way works fine :)
@@CaptainPikant I found it back : ua-cam.com/video/l-JeMcfeLTE/v-deo.html
It was both. There was midi velocity programming in the end, the 32nd notes coming in, but also some fader pushing in the beginning of the roll.
Oh the memories !!! thank you !
Really excellent and beautifully researched. Much appreciated, thanks!!
Thank you very much Jumpstar :) :)
thanks for your work! it´s always a pleasure to watch.
The 909 was like the soundtrack to my growing up in the 90s; I mean like ALLLL the club hits!
I think the handclaps were used perfectly on the song Lowride by Autechre
Nice call.
That was worth the wait. Cheers Cap/Intern. 🙌
Hey Michael! Thanks, glad you liked it :) :)
skinny puppy smoothed hope 🥰🥰
The NAVA Extra9 expands the sounds of the 909 to another level!
Please STEDA, you should create a clone of 909 with extra parameters 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
By the way, your video is formidable and 100% ultra-professional
Five stars for you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great timing! I love the 909 more than the 808 (is that an offence?) and have just bought a TR-8...mainly for the 909 sounds. Hopefully to use live one day.
Great video as always
Holy shit! Lifetime Skinny Puppy fan here. No idea Smothered Hope was the first recorded use of a 909! You should definitely do a deep dive into Dig It!
thank you sooo much!
I had to blaze one to that mix DJ Paul
Some larry heard or joey beltram would be great additions to the list imo :)
Absolutely! "Energy Flash" was a top contender for our 16 patterns :)
BBE - Seven Days and One week
Very recognizable...❤
+1 billion for Smothered Hope - Skinny Puppy!
Why so stingy with the bonus points? 😆 🤘
That Bjork rhythm tho....holy crap.
