LinnDrum recreation

[rogs]

40 years ago I used to dream of owning a Linn Drum... With a young family, and hardly any money, it was never going to happen!
After about a 3 year wait, Behringer have finally announced the arrival of their recreation of the iconic drum machine. The LMDrum.

Less than £400 - so about 1/100th of the cost of the original, adjusting for inflation....... I'm very tempted!
I can't really justify it of course - I only play around with recording these days - but the thought of finally having my own 'Linn' stye drum machine is really testing my 'sensible' self ..

Not quite in the stores yet -- there's a promo video here:

I am having a bit of a 'wow' moment ... and that doesn't happen very often these days !

Yep, behringer sure plays an interesting game recreating the classics. Can't complain about that...

I restored an original for a buddy a few years ago and while test driving this impressive machine I realized that this thing was exactly the sound of my youth, which I couldn't stand. 100%.

Tastes can be very different, this is the Behringer clone I covet the least.

I have an old friend who I've played music with for almost 60 years.... We find quite lot of common ground - although he can't stand 80s 'Linn Drum' style music, and I'm not at all keen on some of the folk music he likes..... As you say, tastes can be very different....

Me? --I loved the drum sounds on albums like Michael Jackson's Thriller......
I think this maybe the Behringer clone I covet the most!

+1 Your friend got a good music taste!

I have to admit, the Linn drum sound was musically style-defining for an era - very polarizing, you either love it or hate it.

I fell for the minimoog recreation a few years back for the exact same reason. It delivered and fulfilled the promises, but I have to admit that it's been sitting unused ever since.
