First drum machine

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey all -</p> <p>Hope everybody is getting safe and sane out there. A little bit about my background, I'm a guitar player. Over the past few years I've been gravitating toward strange sounds, which has led me to acquire a bunch of Chase Bliss gear and getting into more synth type music. I'm going to be purchasing my first synth and drum machine soon. For the synth I have narrowed it down to either a Moog grandmother or matriarch, depending on what I can find used.</p> <p>However, for getting a drum machine, I'm looking for suggestions as to what to pick up. I'm initially interested in the recently released Elektron Model:Cycles and also the older version Roland AIRA TR-8. I would love a machine that could do more traditional drum sounds, but then be able to get weird as well. Would those be good starter machines or would you recommend anything else?</p> <p>I'm into bands like Radiohead, War on Drugs, Bon Iver, Chromatics and then knobs and jazz like Jeff Parker, Bill Evans, Miles, and Bill Frisell.</p> <p>Sorry if this question gets asked all the time and thanks for any input.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/snarf_snarff"> /u/snarf_snarff </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/frymv5/first_drum_machine/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/frymv5/first_drum_machine/">[comments]</a></span>
