Drums - what are you guys doing?

What are you guys doing for drums?

Originally I thought I’d go BIG BUTTON and wav trigger. Got the wav trigger to work, but I think I might be hooped on the BIG BUTTON due to firmware updates and code I can’t figure out how to correct. Plus, I want to solder wires, not learn C++ and debug someone else’s program!

I’d definitely got the bug to build instead of buy.

Show me your rigs?

Built a couple of Barton drum modules recently. They sound okay, if you find good knob settings. The trigger inputs seem like they could use work though — they double trigger if I send them a KeyStep gate (on gate off as well as on), unless I run it through a buffer first. I think they may be too sensitive, and triggering on ringing at the end of the gate, or something.

i made a Thomas Henry BD++ , a very good kick module

Verified Stripboard Layouts!

yes ! this is his stripboard version of Thomas Henry BD++ (we didn’t even post it in this thread) [bass drum]

the Snare/tom module

Verified Stripboard Layouts!

SNARE/TOM from : “Unauthorised Service” [snare tom module]

this module for High Hat :

Easy noise drum

i made this one only for hit, (i don’t like so much the snare, i have made other one snare module) i add a buffer out and vactrol on decay and i thinks it’s a cool simple module ! the post on my web site (with a best schematic quality) :

and also a CMOS Noise Bell

and before having a BeatstepPro I would manage all this stuff with the Big Button

I really love my Drumbrute Impact, which incidentally I bought right after watching Sam’s video about it. He still uses it sometimes, mostly I think for recording. The bass is super thumpy.

Is the BIG BUTTON code kinda glitchy? I was hoping to build it and would love to know before I buy everything haha

There are multiple versions of the code in circulation, and multiple tweaks to the design, and seems people sometimes have trouble finding the right combination. Much more in this thread:

BIG BUTTON DIY build - Verified???

Has anybody here built this DIY strip board project successfully? I like the simple concept of the project… however, I have tried twice now ( on 2 separate builds) to get my project working with no luck… performance is erratic and random at best. I’m using the most recent A3 Mod code on the NANO however I tweaked the wiring for a different layout of the buttons and LEDs - thats maybe my problem. Before I go troubleshooting - Can someone verify a successful working build and let me know any trou…

I recently bought a Vermona DRM I MK III. Great analog drum synthesizer, it’s much more than a normal drum machine. It has 8 sounds with a lot of parameters that u can tweak for each of them and 8 individual outputs, in addition to normal stereo output. It reaches its full potential when plugged into a mixer, the distorsion that u get from the preamps is great!
I know it’s not a module but it’s midi controllable and it can also have CV inputs. When sequenced it can be a nice thing to add to your system (and it’s rack mountable)!

[ChristianBloch]

I adore that thing. Super punchy.

[SonOfAGlitch]

Yeah it’ s an amazing sounding machine! The only bad thing is the snare I would say

I am using LDB-2e and 2x from Delptronics with a BeatStep Pro to trigger them.

I am considering getting something different here soon, I want more variety.
But for a beginner set up, its amazing
