Daft Punk has a LinnDrum in this image of one of their performances from the 90s.

Boys Noize talks about his LinnDrum vintage drum machine: "When you make a track with a LinnDrum, you can’t really add a big bassline or something. You need to find the right sounds to give the LinnDrum its space in the mix. Prince had just his voice, a LinnDrum and one keyboard and it was enough. No bassline or anything, just nice programming. That’s what I like about it, it’s got such a strong sound."

collection drum machine <3

LinnDrum is the same as Linn 2, because LinnDrum is also known as Linn LM-2. Quote from Zoolook album (1984) booklets (cd and vinyl): "... Keyboard and electronic devices: Fairlight CMI, Emulator, Moog 55, ARP 2600, DX7, Prophet V, OBXA, AMS, Simmons SDS V, Matrisequencer, AKS, EMS Vocoder, Eminent, Doctor Click, Linn 1, Linn 2 ..."

Used virtually throughtout Charm, Thirty Three's and By You on Tony's The Fugitive album.

S.O.S interview of Air members on how they built their own studio. Air give up the names of their synths plus photo of them

around 55 second he's playing the LinnDrum in the attached video

"Well, I mostly use the sounds of a Linn Drum. It is not a very sexy drum machine! It provides EPROM-based sampling and replicates the same sound every time, which is completely opposite to what I like most about the Roland TR-808".

"We produced the Bass drum sound on 'Relax' by combining a Linn 2 base drum together with a sampled E-note, played on a bass guitar. There's nothing like this. Most speakers have problems with notes lower than the 'E' on a bass guitar. Nowadays we go up to five notes below the 'E', using synth basses, but you need large speakers for that. The 'E' however has power, even when played on the radio. 'D' isn't bad, too, but the 'E' is better. We combined this sound with a Fairlight, which played a sampled piano sound in quavers. This combination of Linn and Fairlight was also used when the Frankies played the song live." "The 'Relax'-groove was in my Linn 2 long before. It was my favorite pattern and I tinkered on it all the time. I always thought of it as some kind of 'English Square Dance', but when I saw it's impact on the band, I realized that you could make a good dance record out of it."

"'Jimmy Jimmy' was an 8-track tape I used to listen to while I would ride around in my car. And I liked listening to it in the car I always thought, 'God, I'm just going to keep it just like this. And that was one track done." "Jimmy Jimmy" started life as a bass line played on a Korg and the tick-took of the LinnDrum machine. Ocasek says he tried adding drums to the song later, discovering instead that the monotonous click of the Linn highlighted the sparseness of the arrangement and forced more attention to the lyrics Over the Korg and Linn he next laid his vocal, followed by synth strings swelling up from his Roland Jupiter 8 synthesizer.

Among the gear in this picture, Jonathan Snipes of clipping. has a TR-909, a TR-808, a LinnDrum, an Oberheim SEM, and an MPC 60.

He creates the drums using his Fairlight CMI and LinnDrum

"Their layered style of recording also made it easier to work from Stanley's home studio, which the band had recently upgraded using advance money from the second album. Stanley's newly expanded home studio included a 32-channel Soundcraft console, a 24-track analog tape machine and room for the band's keyboard and synthesizer collection, which included such classic designs as Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Fairlight CMI, Roland Jupiter 8, Yamaha DX7 synthesizer and PPG Wave. They also had a LinnDrum LM-2, another recent acquisition."

in this photo we can see his linndrum..

"Like in 'Broken Wings,' the Mr. Mister hit, I didn’t play the kick drum. I sequenced the kick drum on the Linndrum and the bass line was sequenced as well. That was the tightest way to give that track the identity that it needed."

"Then the LinnDrum came along, and I started using it on record because it was using samples and it sounded, at the time, more like a real drummer - although now if you listen to a LinnDrum it sounds really bizarre!"

"In retrospect I actually prefer the TR808 drum machine on the previous album, as opposed to the Oberheim DMX and Linn Drum MkII on ‘The Art Of Falling Apart’."

George Michael used a Linndrum on his "Faith" album.

Classixx's Linn Electronics LinnDrum can be seen at 4:15 in this video.

In the video in which Moonlight Matters is taking Future Music Magazine on a tour of his studio, at 1:09:14 he says "Next up we have the LinnDrum" while showing it to the camera.

in the 4:56 time you see a linn drum

Neil says in this interview that both he and Stephen Luscombe programmed the Linndrum for the album "Happy Families."

From 2:22 to 2:56, Martin talks about the Linndrum.

I ? SYNTHS: Che sintetizzatori cosa si possiede? Attacco FM: Troppi! Sono a corto di spazio. I miei preferiti sono il Minimoog, Roland D-550, Arp Solina, Jupiter 8, Prophet 5 e sono davvero scavare questo fai da te Sid Synth, ho preso che ha due C64 chip sintetizzatore in esso.

"I had just moved to NYC and I didn’t have much equipment with me – a LinnDrum, DX7 and a Juno 106 and I made the record with just those instruments."

Stephen says in this interview that he uses a Linndrum.

The instrument appears on the list of instruments on official artist's website (http://olszak.pl/).

This article states Paul Buchanan and The Blue Nile's use of the LinnDrum on their two albums A Walk Across the Rooftops and Hats

Thank you. All faders down, including the rim shot.

Ray Parker Jr. says in this interview that he used a Roland Jupiter 6, Roland MSQ 700 and Linndrum on "Ghostbusters."

"I've got an old Roland TR808 drum machine which has a set of trigger outputs and I use these with either a Dynacord Percuter or a Roland DDR30. I usually programme a pattern into the TR808 and use some of the outputs to trigger the Dynacord and the others for the DDR30. Once I've got a nice little groove happening along with the track we've already recorded, I just use an SRC Friendchip synchroniser to lock the two together so that I can add a few electronic drum sounds to the basic three-piece foundation of guitar, bass and drums already recorded. I also use a Roland Octapad and assign the outputs to play samples on the Emulator - oh, we've been using a Linn II drum machine out in Amsterdam as well."

Harrison used the Linn Drum on the score to George Romero's Day Of The Dead

"I did some Linn Drum programming on ‘Junk Culture’ but it was mostly playing on top of the Fairlight and the Linn Drum."

'I bought a Linn Drum when I'd made some money from "War Baby", but I sold it again and went back to the Drumatix. Actually the Linn was rather hard to sell by then...'

"We have a Yamaha RX11 drum machine but I'm a bit disappointed with that. For a start the memory is a bit limited, and because a drum machine is used like a sketchpad, it's very frustrating if you can't get enough bars into it. We use a LinnDrum with standard chips - our producer has some alternative sound chips too - and a Roland TR707 and 727 which are really good. They're amazing for the money, and we've just got an Octapad (Roland's MIDI drum pad set) which allows you to record drum patterns through MIDI onto the QX1."

Included in equipment list

Absolutely everything in the studio goes direct into a patch-bay rather than the Soundtracs 16-8-16 mixer, even the Linn Drum. His effects range from a few Rebis modules, to a Ibanex HD1000 DDL, MXR Graphic Equaliser, and Electro Harmonix Instant Replay unit. There are also about five cheap and noisy effects pedals. Monitoring is via a pair of the ubiquitous Auratones whilst his latest purchase, a Sony PCM F1, has relegated his Revox B77 to the role of tape echo. The Sony is "a very neat little video machine. Betamax is much better than VHS because you can freeze frame upon frame which is great for me because I like working with pictures. It's brilliant for outdoor work too — it's lighter than a Uher and when you add a camera its a video!"

Freemen used a Linn Drum on the score to The Tripods. The gear list on the album is ambiguious if the LinnDrum in question is the Linn LM-1 or the Linn Electronics LinnDrum.

BOTH CLIMIE AND Fisher have their own separate home set-ups. These have Fostex B16's, A&H mixing desks and recently acquired D50's in common, but very little else. Climie works mainly with the Sequential Studio 440 linked to a Macintosh run Performer sequencing program, while Fisher prefers the Atari based Steinberg Pro24 driving a combination of DX7, TX802, Akai S900 and LinnDrum. Between them they also have a full complement of effects including the Roland SRV2000 ("thoroughly recommended") and the Yamaha REX50.

RetroSound: Io sono un figlio degli anni '80 e mi piace la musica dei Depeche Mode, The Human League, Talk Talk, Propaganda, The Fixx e altre band da questo momento. Ma, mi piace anche la musica elettronica con chitarre come la band francese, Phoenix.

New addition to studio

Hayes: "The classic machine for my money is the Linn II. I also really like the Jupiter 8 and I love the Emax because it's got the advantage of digital samples with analogue processing. You can stick a digital sound through an ADSR and filters, and that's brilliant.
