777-9311 Linn Pattern: Jam & Lewis say it was Dave Garibaldi I never believed it before, figuring someone must've had the original preset patterns and would show it off.
But Mam & Lewis say it was a program built in to the LM-1 made by Dave Garibaldi

"Ah ha! So that was the LM-1, that was the Linn LM-1. And when the drums… When the LM-1 initially came out there were drum beats that were put in by drummers. They actually had drummers put in beats. The “777-9311” beat was put in by a drummer named David Garibaldi who is a drummer for Tower Of Power. If you ever have the opportunity or pleasure of hearing Morris Day play the drums, Morris Day plays exactly like David Garibaldi. David Garibaldi was Morris Day’s hero playing the drums. And that’s how that ended up becoming the beat for “777.” | |

I still don't believe that there''s a preset with that specific pattern and i'm yet to see someone prove that there is. | |

I know.... I figre someone would be able to show us. . . But you can literally hear and see Jam & Lewis say this.

. I think you mean Sharon Bryant? She was the original lead singer of Atlantic Starr before Barbara Weathers (who sang lead on Always, Secret Lover). . .
Sharon did lead on "Touch A Four Cleaf Clover," "When Love Calls" etc.. | |

I'm still struggling with what to believe. . . the idea of starting the beat NOT on the 1, (I think it's no the 16th note after 1, not even the "and"/8th note) is so SICK!!! It seems like something Prince would do . . . But Jam & Lewis just said that. Then again they got some other stuff a little confused too. . . I sitll think someone must have the original patterns of LM1 somewhere.

I had heard that,in 1984 when she left Atlantic Starr,her label wanted to pair her with Jam and Lewis for her solo album but she didn’t want to work with them.Some of the tracks that they wrote for her were then given to Janet Jackson for Control. | |

I struggle to believe it, but I trust Jam & Lewis. It does seem like something Prince would program.
I wonder if maybe it's just the basics of the kick/snare that were a preset and then Prince did the claps and hi-hats.
The weird thing is, lots of people have owned LM1's. You'd think that this would have been mentioned before. I'm sure even some people on this forum in the past have owned them. |

I happened to message David Garibaldi earlier tonight who kindly confirmed that this is true. Case closed | |

Holy shit.
The ENTIRE pattern, or just part of it? |

What did he confirm? What did you ask? We're no further along than we were before. [Edited 7/12/18 10:03am] | |

What are you talking about? The entire pattern has a "rest" on 1. The whole unique thing about it is that every measure, the bass drum and the first bass note starts in between the 1 and 2, either on the "and" (8th note) or the 16th note after 1. . . That happens every measure, not just the intro. | |

I'm literally talking about the preset, not the song. Extra bassdrum or toms come in when the cymbals come it but the basic beat on what I assume is the preset is straight forward. The best way to explain is to listen to the first few seconds of this person recreating the beat and then listen to the actual intro, you can hear how Prince cut off the first beat of the preset at the start, I guess the first beat of the song is also the last beat of Wild and Loose.

I asked if he programmed the pattern featured in the track - he said yes. Have messaged him to confirm that it's the full pattern with no hats, but no response. You may as well message him yourself though to try and establish details, he has a fan page on Facebook. I'm inclined to think that it's the full pattern without the claps which he did.

Realy? That's all it was?
I stressed a lot over that one.

Is that an original Linn preset?
It seems like the clap on 4 is also a little ahead of the beat. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
no it's a recreation, Linn4days has talked about it on here before. [Edited 7/18/18 10:51am] | |

The clap is late and too loud! But I'm not doing it over. I just wanted to see how close I could get to the original.
Same for 1999

I began just making new stuff.
