"This is the version without trigger inputs (MIDI only). It comes with the original box, manual, and optional wooden end-cheeks, plus an aftermarket 110V <> 220V power supply (more on this below). (If you prefer, you can remove the cheeks and mount it in a 19" rack.)

I describe the DRM-1 as more of a percussion synth than a drum machine. It has the usual sounds, such as kick, snare, clap, and hihats (and these sound great). But it also has several other voices which are unclassifiable. Think of them as synth voices which are designed for sculpting percussive sounds. They generally offer some combination of oscillators, frequency modulation, white noise, resonant filters, envelopes, and mixers. All of the voices have a ton of parameters (plus per-voice volume and pan), so it offers a broader range of sonic possibilities than the average analog drum machine.

All of this makes the DRM-1 a great choice for drums if you're into more experimental styles – dub, experimental techno, ambient, leftfield electronic stuff, etc. But the kick/snare/etc. make it quite capable for banging techno, too."
