808 AND 909 REWORKED
From the thunderous booms of Hip-Hop, through to the pounding, shuffling grooves of House and Techno, Roland’s iconic eighties drum machines have defined the rhythmic blueprint upon which all electronic beats are now based. Yet, while unprocessed ‘x0x-box’ beats are essential tools for a Dance music producer, it’s obvious that drum treatments have become more and more intricate as genres and processing trends have evolved. Compare the raw sounds with the same variants used in your favourite records, and it’s clear that the machines’ nostalgic timbres can at
least partly be attributed to the processing we’re used to hearing whether that’s the raw, overdriven House sound of early ’90s mixers and samplers, the painstakingly tailored low-end of a Hip-Hop ‘808’, or the intricate drum layering and processing treatments that are now an intrinsic part of modern music.
