Sonic Drum Machines?

raging_nelly · 09.24.2006, 11:53 AM

Does anybody know if Sonic Youth have ever used any drum machines?

How about during the making of 'The Whitey Album?'

If so, do you know what sort?

I'm lookin' for a virtual drum machine to download and I ain't sure of which one to go for. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

If you mean a beatbox, then I recommand you Dr Drum

Check out this site http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/

You can download (for free) the initial software and then there's many other machine types that can be added on.

songs that feat. a drum machine or beatbox:
"master-dik" (beat box version) on the master-dik 12" ep
"tokyo eye" from EJST&NS

probably a good portion of the whitey album...
silver sessions has some beatbox sounds as well...

maybe some other stuff???

Fruity Loops is a very decent computer drum program. you can find samples of it at download.com I think.

"Campfire" also use beatbox (I think)

"Macbeth" has a fucking great drum beat in it.

one of my favourite SY tunes ever.

And what about Third Fig ?

I was going to suggest taking a look at Chris Lawrence' gearography, but sadly it only lists guitars and basses.

Chris - We need details of Steve/Bob/Jim/Richard's set ups! Get to it!

hey, i have some pretty cool pix of steve's kit from this tour! (and some fairly detailed info on his older gear, i thought..)

but yeah, would be cool. and yeah, of course they used drum machines, all over the whitey album.
