Wow,  that is so impressive. It is nice to know that someone that creative, productive and innovative is not using the most expensive equipment.

For years I used an Alesis SR16 to trigger my AKAI S-950

sampler as my drum machine..........although as a professional drummer I would frequently just drum acoustically.

 

I love the sound that the AKAI S-950 imparts to drums in particular.  I still have a really extensive collection of samples for that beast and ended up using it for drums far more than my tricked out EMU ESI4000 until I got into computer editing.
