After having owned the Drumbrute for a few weeks now (and working with it quite extensively, so far), I have to say that I think it's a pretty great deal for the relatively small financial investment. Sequencer is strong, Steiner-Parker filter is a fun addition (as is the 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 touch strip), and the sounds, overall, are solid. Kick 1 isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea and Kick 2 (while really nice) isn't all too strong on its own. Then again (and I've read and agreed with a lot of these comments), most drum machines are going to be EQ'd and compressed in post anyway, so that's not the end of the world. The snare is pretty solid imo, and while the HHs aren't the typical 808/909 people have come to love over the decades, it stands on its own. Whether it stands on its own as a P.O.S. or as something new and exciting... well, that's not for me to decide. :) All in all, I'm very happy with the machine. It's easy to use, and the split outputs make recording and sampling a real joy. I was torn between this one and the Roland Aira Tr8, but ended up going with the DB because I have yet to hear a sampled kit that sounds like this, whereas there are tons of 808 and 909 sample kits (that sound good, too). Anyway... great bang for your buck, super fun and hands-on!
Moist Mob The sounds just aren’t for me. For reference I have a Vermona DRM1 which I love. Nothing wrong with the Drumbrute though, and may be perfect for you 👍🏼
What?!? absolutely not, sound engine here is all analog (whereas chips are mostly digital). 8bit is kind of the opposite - lo-fi digital and crunchy, noisy
Was thinking same thing.. Imagine your name is Justin Time.. you are 15min late for class and your teacher says "oh you arrived Justin Time.. and you are like cool, tought i was late
I think this would be awesome if you could master it live playing. Also some of the comments below (by clearly bedroom producers) saying it sounds shit makes me wanna get one more- anyone who knows what they're doing will get an awesome sound out if this device
the sounds are very raw...so...you need to run external EFX processor to make it sounds nice....like filters, compressor..etc.....great for those who need to shape sounds from zero ground using raw and basic analog drum sounds
Hmmm; great demo thx heaps. Sounds r subtler than expected but that’s ok. I like analogue & individual outs/would suit my studio better than the TR-08 presently. That last little jam? Spot on ... smooth yet dramatic vibe I imagine🤔
What a coincidence, I just just bought a Korg minilogue and wanted to find a good analogue drum machine to pair with it along with my Volca Sample and SP-404sx. Here he is using the Drumbrute right next to one. I'm still kind of on the fence about deciding whether I should get the Drumbrute, a Volca Beats or the Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms percussion sequencer. anyone here familiar with that one? I don't see too many videos on here for it but would like to hear more of how it could be used to create your own unique percussions sounds.
You need to understand! You can make 64 steps in one pattern, in DrumBrute. In volca beats, for example, there are only 16 steps. lol. DrumBrute is an excellent choice!!!
This one seems larger than the ones I’m able to find online and has many more connections in the back- can someone help me find the one that’s being used in this video, or did they stop manufacturing it this way?
great demo and great video filming/editing but this gear sounds really flat. like really really flat. what is going on, does it need external fx for reverb or eq, or what?
@@maxwittebol Nope, he's using the monologue. You can tell by the pitch shifter which has only one direction. The Minilogue uses one that moves in the x and y directions.
No, it's essentially an analogue drum synth. It doesn't sample or play samples, but you can sculpt the sounds in many ways. For me the simplicity of it is part of it's appeal, too much depth can be stifling for me. This is what it is, which means, like a traditional instrument, you can learn it and potentially master it because it doesnt change.
There's a reason why you can pick this machine up, that's ANALOG, has individual outs, full midi, hi & low pass filters, all the other features, for $175 bucks.
I think that's pretty far from the point. A "good drummer" is relative to your experience anyway and is irrelevant to this piece of gear in a lot of ways. But what this does do is bring performance-based drum sequencing to those creators who are not quite as inclined to the percussive world.
Science and Truth 2 Rock "thugs"? Lol. Sounds a bit self righteous. Music today is more advanced if you can't find good old Rock bands you are not looking hard enough. This machine is not targeted to bands that play traditional sets it for electronic musicians. If you really believe electronic musicians such as aphex twin or daft punk can't be musicians because they pull electronics and acoustics well you're just stuck in a rock vacuum.
Savage Broly lol, whatever bro, I like listening to actual musicians that can play an actual instrument. And yeah, thugs, like M&M, 2Pac and all the others, not a damn clue when it comes to music. Nothing more than glorified rhymes. That's why even a kid can Jump Jump. LMAO, garbage.

I just got mine and to fatten up Kick 2 I put the bx_subsynth (Brainworx) and add a "Tight Punch" at 30 Hz.
This is growing on me. I have a Tempest and love it but this definitely has a character to to. Very CR78. Very lo fi.
Not big on this drum machine, but I quite like the presenter. Seems like a cool dude
What’s not to like about this drum machine? Curious because I’m in the market for a DM.
Moist Mob The sounds just aren’t for me. For reference I have a Vermona DRM1 which I love. Nothing wrong with the Drumbrute though, and may be perfect for you 👍🏼
Hes the best
its has an 8-bit 80s drum machine chip inside i think thats dope i love classic 8bit sounds
What?!? absolutely not, sound engine here is all analog (whereas chips are mostly digital). 8bit is kind of the opposite - lo-fi digital and crunchy, noisy
Is his name seriously Justin Delay? How awsome
exacly what i was thinking!
Was thinking same thing.. Imagine your name is Justin Time.. you are 15min late for class and your teacher says "oh you arrived Justin Time.. and you are like cool, tought i was late
him- @@ckay7665 hello, I'm justin time.
her- Just in time for what?
In An Alternate reality, his name is Justin Reverb and he works for Delay
Yeah! and he's always late xd
For the love of god please post more drum brute+minilogue videos
This arturia is perfect for lo fi
I think this would be awesome if you could master it live playing. Also some of the comments below (by clearly bedroom producers) saying it sounds shit makes me wanna get one more- anyone who knows what they're doing will get an awesome sound out if this device
Yes totally. When you process the individual outputs you get a fat unique drum machine.
I thought the same thing... it sounds like Cheesy Ace of Bass 90's drums.
AudioPilz is bedroom producer as well?
the sounds are very raw...so...you need to run external EFX processor to make it sounds nice....like filters, compressor..etc.....great for those who need to shape sounds from zero ground using raw and basic analog drum sounds
Finally, a good demo guy.
Nice demo, thanks. The hats remind me of a DR-110 or maybe a bit like a 606
Hmmm; great demo thx heaps. Sounds r subtler than expected but that’s ok. I like analogue & individual outs/would suit my studio better than the TR-08 presently. That last little jam? Spot on ... smooth yet dramatic vibe I imagine🤔
the Korg sounded good
Nice video !!! Greate machine!! The wood side panels are custome made ?
Wish he would have spent a little more time demoing at the end. I was liking where that was going!
This sounds great if you're producing like synthwave retro 90s funk
Individual outputs + Randomizer + Polyrhythm = Win.

moog dfam could be nice for u

Great demo. Not digging the sounds available here but I am sure they could be useful if it's what you got.
nice beatbox, nice demo, thx, I grabbed one....used to have the roland TR-8 so hoping this will be as least as good for me if not better
Hey Rick, thinking about the same now.
How has it been in the past few months with the Arturia?
Thank you, appreciate.
@@drdjdesa I like it, it's got a wider variety of sounds than the TR-8, and still the same kind of step programming and presets.
Good review, really start to consider it.:) What is your keyboard aside please ?
vey nice put together vids, great job everyone
To me the kick sounds like a low Tom variant it needs more skin slap and less pitch sweep
Process the individual outs and it comes into its own fatness and dynamics.
Hi. It is possibile to control elektron machinedrum via MIDI with a drumbrute to achieve polyrhythms from machinedrum? What do you think?
This one seems larger than the ones I’m able to find online and has many more connections in the back- can someone help me find the one that’s being used in this video, or did they stop manufacturing it this way?
I played with one of these at guitar center and this is actually the snappiest snare sound you could get. It is SUPER weak for some reason IMO.
Justini Del Lay…. Whatta name?! Shoobaloo!
Damn once he showed the individual outputs for each drum... I decided I may have to have this.
So basically every instruments has its own output??
great demo and great video filming/editing but this gear sounds really flat. like really really flat. what is going on, does it need external fx for reverb or eq, or what?
Hi there. how do I connect the audio output so that I can hear stereo. use the focusrite as an interface.
Thank you very much.
There is no stereo output. You can take the individual outputs from each instrument and mix them in stereo using your mixer though.
the kick 1 of my drumbrute now sounds like the sweep is on, but the sweep knob is on 0, someone help me
Is he playing it with the Monologue?
I think it's the minilogue (polyphonic version of the monologue)
@@maxwittebol Nope, he's using the monologue. You can tell by the pitch shifter which has only one direction. The Minilogue uses one that moves in the x and y directions.
Sounds like he says "Minilogue" at 8:43 ?
Are there any products that are made for musicians?
can you load your own custom sound inside it ?
No, it's essentially an analogue drum synth. It doesn't sample or play samples, but you can sculpt the sounds in many ways. For me the simplicity of it is part of it's appeal, too much depth can be stifling for me. This is what it is, which means, like a traditional instrument, you can learn it and potentially master it because it doesnt change.
@@christopher_ecclestone yea i should have known but i used this at sam ash realy wicked yea you can only tweak the sound in there
Run "THE CLaaaP"
It said they discontinued this version, and gave us the cheap plastic looking version.
Hands down superior over Roland's new TR's, Gaia, Berhinger RD-8, and the smaller no names.
What Gaia device are you refering to? don't know a drummachin with that name.
where's the full 45 min. version? I click on it & just brings me to the 9 min. version?
Martin Hoffert on their website, for which you need to pay.
haha!! $1.99 to watch a demo? wow, that is really sad and pathetic reverb- thnxs for the heads up blech319
Justin!!!! Whats up dude!!! Its Kayo your drummer from RadioFire Good to see you bud!!!!!!!!!!
Nice one buddy, I LOVE 💘 JAMMING WITH Drimbrute TOO...
KEEP ON JAMMING POSITIVE 👌 vibrations 💛❤💚✌✌✌
Wayyyy tooo much mastering and compression on the vid. Beautifully shot with charismatic presenter. And bloody well lit video.
Hello ! is it possible to import our own sound (like a entire song)?
no
at 3:46 my existence lost it , therefore this beauty will be my next acquisition .
i'm wet.
Ew lol
@@jdssurf hater
Might be the most intuitive drum machine…?
What Korg is that?
minilogue
good functions with a boring sound
Totally agree, though i thought it sounded a lot better in store, but som of the sounds are .. well .. drop-dead crap.
I've you would be able to load samples it could be interesting.
I'm eating for them to drop a hybrid Spark. Something with better sounds for sure!
Classic big booming sound = 808
Nice snare. Shit kicks
5:07 like if you noticed the surprise face
I think a kick needs a klick 😄
It's a Rhythmwolf for rich people...
is there a mrs. delay? lol I had to.
How to make the Drumbrute SOUND GOOD!
ua-cam.com/video/DeTgvGMy0bo/v-deo.html
Bruh...this machine sounds like a 909's little cousin that was born without all its chromosomes 👎🏻
There's a reason why you can pick this machine up, that's ANALOG, has individual outs, full midi, hi & low pass filters, all the other features, for $175 bucks.
I think these guys miked up the output or something. It can't sound like that in real life, right?
that snare drum is pitiful. i hope it feels better soon lol
the irony of having a name like "Justin .. Delay" if you're just in, then why delayed? dohh
please hire a dop
Its sounds somehow irriating. Probably that ugly hi hat got something to do with it.
Just sounds like the usual boring 808 and 909 sounds
you are boring
sound is miss
I have one. I'm sorry , but I think it sounds like shit. I love Arturia btw.
I agree, I cannot for the life of me figure out why something with such a rubbish sound can cost so much
noname namename no need to insult people.
dale schweitz it does not cost much.
I like the sound.
Amen
Maybe the worst drums crappy sounds ever... FL Studio 1 has default drums that sounds better than this...how is that possible?
Trash
“A kick drum I designed earlier”. Ffs
So this is what a good drummer has become, turning nubs?
I think that's pretty far from the point. A "good drummer" is relative to your experience anyway and is irrelevant to this piece of gear in a lot of ways. But what this does do is bring performance-based drum sequencing to those creators who are not quite as inclined to the percussive world.
yeah you damn fool
Cody Power What's your problem? The fact remains that today's music is pathetic, a bunch of boring thugs over a damn drum machine.
My point stands.
Science and Truth 2 Rock "thugs"? Lol. Sounds a bit self righteous. Music today is more advanced if you can't find good old Rock bands you are not looking hard enough. This machine is not targeted to bands that play traditional sets it for electronic musicians. If you really believe electronic musicians such as aphex twin or daft punk can't be musicians because they pull electronics and acoustics well you're just stuck in a rock vacuum.
Savage Broly lol, whatever bro, I like listening to actual musicians that can play an actual instrument. And yeah, thugs, like M&M, 2Pac and all the others, not a damn clue when it comes to music. Nothing more than glorified rhymes. That's why even a kid can Jump Jump.
LMAO, garbage.
