A Future Classic!
*Theo E* 28.12.2019
Being in the lookout for an analog drum machine I stumbled upon this little beast! The DrumBrute Impact made quite an impression to me, considering the price and the features:

There are 10 clean & punchy analog sounds which sit well in a modern track. The kick and the snares are the most prominent, however the entire drum set sounds tight and well thought out musically.

My most praised features are the "Color" function which transforms each sound, and the FM drum, that acts like a wildcard! Meaning you can transform it to many other sounds. Finally the distortion at the master bus makes the sound gritty and harsh, adding that special "brute" sauce!

Although I'm using it via DAW, I enjoyed playing live, using the countless sequencer features, and building patterns easily! I'm sure it will serve you well in a live gig.

To the cons, I would add the lack of a rimshot, and midi control over the sound parameters! Also a big minus is the lack of a complete list of SysEx messages in the manual.

Nevertheless in regards to it's sound, I think this drum machine is a future classic!

O
Incredible piece for the price
Oldslav 10.12.2021
The sounds are good, controls are very intuitive, this piece packs a lot of functionality. Individual outputs for the instruments are very useful.The only downside for me is a song length, 16 patterns of up to 64 steps results in just 64 bars max. But after all, I really enjoy using this drum machine

Great analog drum machine
Mad_Beaver 10.03.2020
This is an amazing analog drum machine. However, you have to have some understanding of its capabilities, because even though it offers a good amount of controls, you can't dramatically change the sound of it.

The Arturia sequencer is just great, very intuitive and easy to use. It is convenient to enter patterns both live and in step mode. The only thing that is missing for me is that it can't record automation of the knobs.

I would love to see stereo output in this device, though it provides separate mini-jack outputs for kick, snare, hats and fm drum.

Overall it is really good offering for the price and its sounds can fit a lot of music genres.

My dream drum machine. It's the perfect retro-meets-new combo for adding freshness and oomph including endless tweak-possibilities at a very reasonable prize!

Total Beast

Super punchy sound with as much warm fuzzy saturation as you want. It's very easy to use - you probably won't look at the manual. Some people might want more control over the sounds but especially considering the price, this thing is great value and a huge amount of fun.

Excellent
Vinny1313 04.01.2021
Excellent analog sounds, something different from the 808/909 sounds (which I have covered with a TR8). I particularly like the distortion effect. Easy to use, tweak and programme too. I also like the smaller form factor (compared to the original Drumbrute). Very well built.

A big bang for your buck
Myrrh 01.09.2018
For under 300eur, this little gem packs a mighty punch. This is my first analogue drum machine and I was not disappointed. The only downside that exists is the inability to load your own samples onto the drums but features such as colour, swing and randomisation as well as pitch and tone knobs create a diverse range of sounds from an 8-pad drum machine. The sequencer is incredibly easy to use. Beyond satisfied with this purchase. Another great product from Arturia.

Q
Sehr intuitive Drum Maschine
Qvincy 31.08.2023
Großartige Drum Maschine, die sich sehr intuitiv benutze lässt. Die Sounds sind prägnant - insbesondere die FM Drum ist für melodischen Techno sehr cool, dazu kommen individuelle Outputs, wenn man die Sounds in der DAW nachbearbeiten will.
Die Kick ist auch sehr gut, geht mir aber im Vergleich zur z.B. Behringer RD-9 Kick etwas unter.
Gerade live extrem vielseitig und es macht echt Spaß mit dem Gerät zu arbeiten, vor allem zu dem Preis.

Absolute fun!
Anton Arhipov 12.11.2024
This is a very nice drum machine for a reasonable price. Sounds great, nice sequences, easy handling, very intuitive to use.

The only nitpick that I have is that it is only possible to extend the number of steps but not shrink it and the only workaround is to set the last step while it would be more intuitive to allow "shrinking" the sequence
