Hey all

I've just powered up a Roland SPD-11, and the drummer was very pleased to find that his acoustic bass drum can trigger the samples with just a microphone.

So we're getting some nice boomy kicks, but I am a little bit of a purist, and would like to use an analog sound. We have a Voyager, which obviously does excellent bass drums, but it would seem a little OTT to use it for just this purpose. We also tried the MAM ADX-1, but he said the sounds seemed a little too "housey." (Would a compressor fatten up the kicks?)

I have thought about getting a nice analog drum machine, e.g. X0X, but we really only want the bass drum sounds.

So really, the two options would be 1) a cheap monosynth, dedicated to bass drums, or 2) a module e.g. Analogue Solutions' BD88. Has anyone had any experience with any cheap-ish synths or modules that make great sounds? MIDI would help, but isn't nesassary.

Finally, it might just be me, but analog bass drums usually sound wierd, whereas sampled bass drums tend to be more boomy and sub-ish. Is that something I need to get used to?

Cheers
Andrew
