Drum Machines

Roland TR-606 Drumatix

Avg price: $648.50

Dr. Dre used the Roland TR-606 Drumatix to recreate and layer drum sounds for his album The Chronic. He combined original samples with drum machine sounds, particularly from the TR-606 and TR-808, to achieve a punchier, more dynamic drum sound. This technique is especially evident in "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang," where Dr. Dre is credited as the producer and responsible for drum programming.
