Roland TR909 clone

[pdadda]

I am hesitant to post a question about a drum machine in this forum, but here goes. I fricking love the sound of TR909 drums. I want to have these sounds in my live shows, but I don't really have the money to put up for one of these machines. What is the best reasonably priced solution (not interested in software)? I am using this for electronica music. It at least needs to have a sequencer.

I can get a TR707 for $100. I have never heard the 707 though. Is it similar to the 909?

Well there is the Jomox boxes, those can do a reasonably good 909 emulation but pretty much cost more than a real one

I use a clone called a 9090. No sequencer, but it is dead on with the sound

a tr-707 is not even close to a real 909. Its a 12bit (and crappy sounding at that) rompler, so its a far cry from the analog goodness that is 909

if need an affordable and decent sounding clone, Get a Korg ES-1 and use a 909 kit or find something to run a Novation Drumstation, that has excellent 808 and 909 emulation.

I would pass on the 707, drumstations can be found for that much and sound a 1000 times better
