Arturia DrumBrute Impact

Overall, I'm satisfied with this drum machine. There are very few analog drum machines on the market, and if you're not looking for yet another 808 clone, the options are quite limited. The DrumBrute Impact has its own unique sound and could potentially become a classic in the future. The device is very intuitive and easy to set up, so you can quickly program your own beats. The distortion button adds nice saturation, so you won’t need to process the sound further with compressors or other saturators.

On the downside, the pad quality and sensitivity are quite low, the hi-hat settings are very inflexible and only slightly affect the tone, and the toms have a very specific sound that might be unusable in many situations.

All in all, I can honestly recommend this drum machine.
