Customer Kudos

"I have rarely encountered better service, in-person or online, as I have with zZounds. Their payment options are insanely generous (why isn't the rest of life like this?), and when I did have issues on two occasions, they had me fixed up and taken care of IMMEDIATELY. Honestly, THANK YOU, zZounds. I will probably never shop anywhere for instruments or gear again if I can at all help it."

As the foundation for countless hip-hop, electronica, and pop tracks, drum machines hold iconic status among music producers. Want to go back to the '80s or '90s? Classic drum machines can evoke the sound of an era. Whether you're going for a head-snapping groove, or just the right kind of cheesy, there's nothing quite like an 808 -- except maybe a 909.

As a songwriting tool, drum machines are as useful as they've always been. Push play on a rhythm machine from Roland, Alesis, or Korg and sing, rap, or jam along. Drum machines give you step-sequencing tools for building beats, and filters to shape each hit and handclap -- or mangle them beyond recognition.

Of course, drum machine beats don't have to be retro -- they're all over modern EDM and industrial rock. You can build beats on a computer, but when you want the feel of an organic instrument, a standalone drum machine beats a mouse every time.
