Been GASing hard for a nice hardware drum machine lately. Psychic Vampire and I have dweebed out about em a bunch, and I'd like to hear what other opinions/experiences people may have.

The top contender for a while was the Vermona DRM1. I love the way it sounds and the fact that there's an independent knob on the front for every parameter. That said, no sequencer, no presets. I could, however, easily control it with a Beatstep Pro, which is rad.

Then there's the P. Vamp lusted-after MFB Tanzbar, which looks pretty rad as well, seemingly in between the DRM1 and the Rytm.

I've really focused in on the Rytm, though... at first I was thinking it might be too menu-y, but after getting my hands on one for a little bit, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's very intuitive/easy to work with. The analog/sample combo also really appeals to me. Beyond that, its popularity and overall glowing reviews online seems to indicate that it's a really solid piece of kit—people seem to be really happy with it.

Curious to hear if anyone on here owns one. If so, how do you like it? Pluses / minuses?

Not RYTM, per se, nut you know that thing where you watch demos of gear you already have to make yourself fall back in love with it?

On mobile, don't really feel like figuring out how to embed, someone can edit these links or I'll do it when I am off work:

That 2nd video was what sold me on buying a Biscuit... sounds so good! Particularly nice use of the DRM1, too.
