Bad Gear

Arturia Drumbrute - Was this the WORST PURCHASE ever??? (2025x16)

Data di messa in onda: Mag 23, 2025

A few years back I reviewed what was probably the most underwhelming piece of gear at the time - the original Arturia Drumbrute. This 2016 drum machine seemed like a dream come true: fully analog, great sequencer, one-knob-per-function UI and a design that pleases the eye of normal people and satisfies the basic instincts of synth nerds. The problem with this instrument: it sounded almost comically bad and might be the only Bad Gear protagonist I didn’t make any real music with. Although I sent it back after reviewing it, this cursed drum machine kept on haunting me and when I found one on Reverb for the price of a Volca I might have been hovering over the BUY button a little too hard. Was this the worst purchase ever?
