  • With the vast majority of the past few decades' drum machine designs largely being emulations of the great machines that have gone before, Arturia's introduction of a fully analog hardware drum machine with organic, integral sound creation is a major event
  • The DrumBrute is firmly rooted in the classic drum machines, but it builds upon these traditions in terms of superior audio specifications and lower noise floor than the rhythm composers that paved the way
  • It also features far greater versatility in sound generation and programming options than the classic machines ever had
  • The DrumBrute offers seventeen true analog sounds, unique performance effects, a modern step sequencer, tremendous ease of use and state-of-the-art connectivity

Description

If you're looking for a true analog drum machine with amazing performance potential, check out the Arturia DrumBrute. Its 17 analog drum sound generators and a plethora of hands-on controls offer a ton of creative possibilities for everything from old-school techno and house to psytrance, dub, hip hop, and much more. The Steiner-Parker output filter delivers super- smooth HPF or LPF sweeps and can be bypassed with a single button press. Factor in the 12 individual audio outputs, and it's clear the Arturia DrumBrute is a powerful drum machine for both stage and studio.

  • Sounds amazing!
I have 5 other analog synths in my studio and a Novation Peak, I'd call it icing on the cake but it's really the foundation that built the house (*ouch pun booo) ;-) Honestly, I'm in love, there's a nice woody texture to most of the sounds and the hats are nice and metallic, which I happen to prefer compared to noise based hats, I wish it did both but at least I got my preference in this regard. The reverse cymbal is a nice touch as well as the zap. There's two kicks, 909(ish) and 808(ish). The sequencer is easy to get the hang of and the buttons are high quality. The pads are velocity sensitive but the sequencer only records accented and not accented. While many want to cry for more cowbell (lol) I really am quite glad to not have one! Really happy I decided to go for this since I have plenty of other options for drums available to me, almost redundant but definitely a boost to creativity, regardless, another guilty pleasure for sure. (adding this a few weeks afterwards) just had to come back and say, even tho it didn't strike me at first, once you hear it in a track the snare is freaking amazing! could not be happier. ... show more

  • Another Arturia hit!
Ils sont de France, bien sûr c'est un produit formidable! Just to point out, if you're used to Spark, the sequencer acts just the same. Much easier than 808/909 clones. Additional feature--instrument triggers have their own pads. Makes it easier because you get to hear the drum when it's selected. It isn't a TR-XXX clone. While it is similar, you'll be disappointed if you have to have "real authentic" Roland sounds. It is far easier to play with the drum sounds over, say, Sparkle (which I have and like very much). Individual knobs are tons easier to tweak. I also like the standalone ability, sometimes I just want to make drum noises without needing the laptop. A great buy, no complaints and I can't think of any additional features I really need. ... show more

  • More variety in the sound would have helped
I very much like Arturia's music hardware - their devices are well built, have lots of clever features, and they have some of the best written product manuals around, which can save one from a lot of frustration. The DrumBrute is built like a tank, has a great sequencer, and it's pretty easy to program. I just hoped it had more on board sound sculpting features. It has multiple tuneable voices and a filter, but they seem rather limited, even when compared to the DrumBrute's little brother, the DrumBrute Impact. The individual outs for each voice can help, still I wish Arturia would have built more sonic variety into this instrument. :) ... show more

  • I got a new toy!
Ok, my impressions. boom ... twank ... sizzle ... Sorry, wrong meaning of the word. I can only really speak to what I need in a drum machine. What I am working on at the moment is late 70s-early 80s style synth music. Not synth-pop, much more of the late 70s Kraftwerk to John Foxx's Metamatic album. To me this is close to perfect. Yes the sounds are not big and beefy, but they are not meant to be. And having a separate output for each sound makes it possible for effects to be added, so you can get that. If you want to do old school electronica, this is a great machine. ... show more

  • Easier to recommend now that I've used it
Compared to the ridiculous menu diving in other drum machines and the mindless DAW drum madness that comes from lack of physical movement you should be associating with your creation, this takes you back and forces you to get your thoughts and movement in line so that you can hammer out a logical and foundational beat. It is said over and over again that the newer version of this is better because the sound it uses is better liked by some, and that in this original version you have to manually go in and make corrections to the sequence because it doesn't allow you to use your DAW to do that. It doesn't have a multitude of effects either. I may be a novice here, but all of that doesn't really seem like a negative to me. The only negative thing for me is that you have to perform extra actions to save your sequence. This thing is meant to be used as the foundation of your track. You get the basics down, fine-tune the tempo/pitch, and THEN send it to effects. Desired effect not built-in? No problem. Each instrument has an out which you can send to a separate effect pedal/destination if you want. The problem is that this is more of an analog workflow mindset. If you are looking for something to fully control with your DAW, this isn't the best choice for you. The reason I chose this over it's newer counterpart is because I had recently found that I could better create sensical beats and rythm hands-on than I could on a computer, and this had more pads and instruments than it's newer counterpart. In other words, if it isn't a single twist/turn/flip/swipe/press at my fingertips, then I am much less likely to utilize it. The sequencer is the most complicated thing about it, and it doesn't get easier with other products. This one has individual outs for EVERY instrument if I needed to go that far (modular enough to fully build-out in the future), but I can still export my project to the DAW as MIDI and re-assign a better sounding version of the instrument if that's truly necessary. Generally speaking, it isn't. You need that deep beat which a pedal can mod, and the rest of the percussive support can be separately compressed or bypassed to reduce the general annoyance of anything that is consistently too in-your-face. There are a few software tweaks that I had to make, like forcing the pad to follow through all the steps instead of me having to manually select each section... and defaulting the sequencer to the clock-in port. Speaking of which, the software allows me to use the computer to form a grid with which to set up a sequence - something that can help you better visualize and understand what you're actually doing when you've got a lot going on. That's awesome because as I said, the sequencer is the most complicated part of it and this uncomplicates it rather nicely. All-in-all, most people would like the DrumBrute Impact better... and that's perfectly understandable. However for me, this fit my current & planned future workflow better for an ever-so-slightly lower price. ... show more

  • Good analog drum synth
No real complaints, nice and easy to use. Sounds either as solid or as squelchy/distorted as you please. Inclusion of a HPF/LPF with bypass is a nice add-on. I recommend reviewing video tutorials over using the manual; it makes more sense having someone walk through the steps, especially for properly saving tracks and songs. ... show more

  • Not that good.
The sounds are mediocre. I was not impressed. So, I own it...but, will never buy another Arturia product again.
