Battle of the beatmakers
Conclusions
On some levels, it’s difficult to make direct comparisons between all the instruments on test here. The range on offer, in terms of both style, sound and price point mean that there are options likely to suit any electronic music maker.
If old-school authenticity is your aim, you can’t argue with Behringer’s RD-8, given its sub-£300 price point, although overall the DrumBrute Impact is probably a better, vintage-minded analogue drum machine.
