T.REX 606, by Max Project, is a free drum machine plugin based on the Roland TR-606
drum machine.
This plugin replicates the kick, snare, closed and open hi hat, high and low toms, and cymbals.
This is a simple drum machine that has controls only for volume and reverb.
Line of Legends is a very simple drum sample machine with both electronic and acoustic
components.
It’s got sections for kick, snare, clap, snap, toms, hi hat, ride, and crash, each
with multiple samples, for a total of 47 different samples.
Some of the drums have additional controls like punch, release and panning as well.
BeatFactory Drums is one of my personal favorite electronic drum plugins.
This plugin has 10 preset kits, including an 808 kit, 80s kit, 2 dubstep kits, 2 hiphop
kits, an indian kit, 2 sample hit kits, and a trap kit.
For controls, we’ve got attack, decay, sustain release, panning, reverb and volume.
Then we have panning and volume for each of the parts of the kit.
The simplicity of this plugin makes it really fun to work with, since I can spend my time
working on the beat I’m creating, instead of too much time tweaking the sound of it,
and it just sounds great to begin with.
The Akai MPK249 is a great MIDI controller option for people who want to create MIDI
recordings of synths and percussion, and also control a digital audio workstation with continuous
controllers.
It features a 49 key keyboard, 16 programmable drum pads, pitch and modulation wheels, and
various other continuous controllers, making it a very useful all in one MIDI controller.
