what kind of drum machine does he use on the batman album?
i've always liked those drumsounds but they don't sound a lot like the linn drum to me. so is it a different one?
it wouldn't make him sound modern, as the o.p. asked but i'm just curious
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Do you really think certain tools make one sound "modern", regardless of how it's used? | |

They tend to push you very strongly in that direction.
At this point I think the best choice for Prince is just to use an acoustic drum kit and throw in the occasional electronic percussion sound in the mix (like on TRC). | |

The drum machine he should use is Michael B. RIP  | |

I loved that loud ass customized lm-1 kick/snare combo he used back in the late 80's.
Ex. "Time Waits for No One", "Theives in the Temple", "Partyman", "4 Lust", "Electric Chair", etc. | |

None of those new drum machines. The sound of them is the reason that I absolutely hate today's music and the last thing Prince needs is a "modern" sound. Hell, I wish the other artists would drop it also so we can get back to jamming again. Andy is a four letter word. | |

The Linn sounds great but they need real drums behind them also to give the songs power. That's the difference between the "1999" album and the "MPLShit" album. Andy is a four letter word. | |

That's the difference between the "1999" album and the "MPLShit" album. i love the combination of linn with acoustic drums but live drums are not exclusive for a powerful drum sound.of course nothing can replace the dynamics of a real drummer playing but there are many songs that sound great with drum machine.when Doves Cry,777-9311. Reason why Mplssound drums are lacking is because it was done with a softwere instead of a real thing and paterns are as you woulds like to say shit hop influenced | |
