In this pic we see Dj Quik in the studio and underneath his feet is a Roland JD-800 among other gear in the studio. He also mentions the JD-800 in an in-depth interview with Complex magazine.

Dj Quik tweets "And yes I party alone mostly. I'm a celebrity. And this is my personalized AKAI MPC-R." with a pic of a MPC Ren on the ground.

In this interview with Fader, Dj Quik talks about bass sounds and 808's "They're not even using the 808 drum machines, they're using the 808 samples that people have hodgepodged and put online. They want to keep it there because it sounds like the records that they hear on the radio. They think it's the definitive sound. It wasn't just that. It was the fucking DMX drum machine. If you think about songs like [Run DMC's] "Krush Groove"—that was one of the best drum sounds ever! It's not just about the 808. People get stuck because they like the speakers to vibrate. People get turned on, there's something sexual about it. It's like a vibrator. But you can make it sexual with a bassline, you can make it sexual with an SH-101, a Roland fucking synthesizer. You can make it emotive and erotic with flangers and stuff. People don't do the whole math when it comes to making music. You can do so many different things to one sound that it will become something totally new. "

DJ Quik talks about drum machines in this interview "This one right here, (points to MPC 3000) its a MPC 3000...one of the greatest drum machines ever created in life"

In this pic we see Dj Quik holding a Roland JP-8000 among other pieces.

At 0:11 in the video Dj Quik talks about favorite drum machines and his feelings on some of them "Battlecat actually introduced me to the MPC 60 when it first came out...and i wasn't ready for it 'cuz i wasn't ready for all of the Midi implementation because i was a SP-1200 man. But when i saw the MPC 60II it changed my life when it came to equipment..."
