Glitchy, droney, stuttery drum beats?

[hazelwould]

How could I go about creating glitchy drum beats? Any drum machines, programs, or ???

I'm looking for something fairly simple, and something I could cue in a live setting. If it's a program, I MaY look
Into a sampler or RC2 and just store my presets and play them live.

Any ideas!?

I'm wanting to start a glitchy, instrumental, noisey post rock project. Somethig with little elements. Maybe a guitar keys and bass.

Not sure on the actual drum machine.....but once you get one...Devi ever OK.

I have an older boss one, but have never used it. I got it in a trade. It sounds pretty standard, maybe I should learn it and run it through fuzzes and filters... Hmmm

Yeah, I'm sure a better drum machine would be best but a fuzz and a delay pedal do wonders for boring drum beats from my experimentation with my keyboard's lame drums.

I'd look for something that can do samples, like the boss drsamples. I have the 404 but you can get older. for droney, loading metallic sampels is fun, pitch shifting them, time stretch and applying comb filters!

Once you have a drum machine run it through the program Dblue Glitch.

Found one of these in my house, circuit bent the shit out of it, and now I get the craziest glitchy nonsense ever.
I've got an e-book on circuit bending if you've never tried it before, I wouldn't mind e-mailing you a copy.
It's a good first project, too. The thing is practically made to be circuit bent. And it's already got a 1/4" jack to plug into yer pedals

You can probably find that old-ass drum machine on ebay for like 30 bucks or so. Yamaha DD-5.

Yea man! Send it my way! Hazelwould2@yahoo.com

I've got this old keyboard that has a drum pad on it. The band midlake uses it on their older stuff, but I got it off of eBay for like $15. Sounds great. It has these cool old organ sounds and the coolest sine wave setting. I can't remember the name but I bet you could CB the hell out of it.

Could you cue entire drum tracks? So I would just press play and it would recall all of my previously written track? I've gotta look more into samplers. They've always intimidated me for whatever reason.

Well, with the DD-5 you'd probably just be working around the drumbeats. I've heard people say that they've bent it so that they could save beats they'd written, but that's pretty in-depth stuff right there. I wouldn't know how to get started with all of that. But it's definitely an endeavor worth pursuing, I've had a buncha buncha fun bending all sorts of stuff. One guy actually bent a little toy telephone and made it do crazy stuff. The funny thing is that it's really not that complicated of a bend:

At the very least, you'll get a cheap, cheap, cheap crazy noisebox. One of those toy telephones go for 10 bucks on ebay, and all the stuff you get to build it up is pretty cheap too. Try it out!

Oh, and if anybody else wants a copy of the book, put yer e-mail address on this here thinger.
