Now that I've got a decent goddamn job I'm thinking of buying some new gear. At the moment all I have is a mixer, PC with AWE32 (oh, shite), novation bassStation, TB303, Zoom rfx2000, two homebodged 303 clones and other stuff not worth mentioning. Anyone got any suggestions for what to get next?

I really want something to use for percussion and stuff, and maybe a better sampler... I'm considering getting a second hand Yamaha A3000 and using this for drum samples. Apparently it has fx as standard? Is this machine any good?

What about the Electribes for a cheap drum machine? Or are these machines crap?

Yeah Its the dogs danglies as far as im concerned.It's really easy (easier than the akais) to assign different samples to a different note on a keyboard so you can map out loadsa nice drum sounds.Its got wicked effects that you can sit there and mess about with for hours on end. The electribe drums has a wicked drum synth ,but unfortunatley you can only make four synth noises and the other sounds are samples (pretty lame 909 hihats ,clap and i dunno what the cymbal is)Overall ,good noises but quite limited.I'd go for a drumstation personally and some other drum boxes aswell (the roland r8 is a nice one sonicly)but then you wouldnt be able to sample..shit, tough decision.

Trev, good choices, A3k you can get from andertons for �425, get a zipdrive for it (�129 for a 250mb from maplins) and some memory (normal EDO simms) and its a killer machine, easy to use and well powerful, nothing can touch it at that price!. ER1 - excellent with 303, it can do long and boomy or tight and punchy, fucking awesome box for the money (�175 secondhand, �249 new). I bought both and never regret it. Nuff said?

Heh, I just thought that was funny that you said the ER-1 is limited and then you said to get a Drum Station. I hope your talking about polyphony and not versatlity.

How bout a modular.Analogue solutions has some inexpensive high quality modules.Or an MPC so you can beat your beats.

ES-1 appears to be a sampling drum macine for all intensive purposes.snare on the er is a bit weak for my taste.If you MAIL ME BOUT THOSE BOXES I'll give you the key to a nice MPC imitation 808 track.It has 777 and Ea-1 too.

the akai s-2000's go for cheap, no
good display, but can use a software
editior like mesa.

The er-1 is a nice drummachine.
Also check this out, this might be
cool...
