Roland R5

Baby brother of the R8, they're OK......but not so versatile... ...

Roland TR-727

Accompanying the TR-707, it had the same styling and case. This machine was a percussion version, with all stuff like bells, slaps, congas, bongos, etc. They can be had really chea...

Roland TR-707

Came after the 808 & 909. These machines were Rolands first entry into the "Sounds like real drums" arena.....You might dispute this when you hear one, cos they're pretty cheezy.....

Alesis D4

This is pretty much the rack version of the SR16, except it has about 400 sounds in it, (alot of which, like in the SR 16, are the same sounds with different reverbs on). This u...

Casio RZ-1

If you see one in the s/h ad's, it will be cheap, (somewhere around the 100 quid mark)........Perhaps you should check it out, as long as you can try it through a decent system. Th...

Yamaha RY-30

Roland R8

The superb Roland R8 - a 'Quality' 80's drumbox - check this one out - superb variety & editing....

Alesis HR-16 & HR-16:B

Alesis drum boxes from 1988. These boxes were the forerunner of the SR16, and they are ok and really cheap. The 16B version has electronic sounds similar to those inc...

Roland R-70

Next up from the R8, but we're gettin out of budget territory here... Personaly, I thought it was not too great fer the money but they have dropped in price alot.. OK, you do get s...

Boss DR550 MK2

The cheapest s/h drum box you can buy with some 909 kit sounds in it. ...

Oberheim DMX

Classic old school drumbox, think early Prince drumsounds, fat snare etc. ...

Alesis SR-16

Not a bad little box again. No 909, and no electronic hats which is wierd, cos they got 808 kik, snare & cowbell... Anyway, a good little box for hip hop & stuff like that, but I w...
