DRM1 AND DRM2??
Is it worth getting a DRM1 if you've already got the DRM2? I'm sure that it probably is, but would like to hear from Wiggler that own both. Thanks in advance!

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
Yes definitely worth getting a DRM1! Maybe Tom has a few expanderen left also, if so a DRM1X is even more fun
But yeah, they are quite different (snd they sound different)
Question remains, however, if someone is willing to sell you one

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
It really depends what kind of system you have and what kind of sounds you wish to create. For instance someone with a large modular system may not need DRMs but if making percussive sounds is your interest it may be worth having both.
If you find a DRM 1 at a fair price try it as you'll have no problem selling if you don't like. I've owned both and would say that 1 has a more punchy rougher kind of sound, 2 is more in line with the newer synth voice sound - more flexible and liquidy than 1 and more of a subtractive synthesis voice.
DRM 1 expanded is slightly more modular with more patch points. I love my DRM 1 X

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
Both is valid as they sound different, plus they are so much more than drum modules.
I'm looking for nothing at this moment in time

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
wait... but there are no extra DRM1's sitting around are there, Tom??? I have been hoping to find one to buy as well + expander, but an expander without the DRM is... well.... a lost soul I assume...BugBrand wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 7:50 amI do indeed!T.

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
Well i guess i need to keep my drm1x then. Hmm
I see no reason why the drm1 and drm2 can not be available in the bug shop at the same time. Tom??

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
I retired the DRM1 a long time ago.
Last year I made a short run of DRM1X just ..because.. & still have a couple left, ready built.

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
Thanks for all of the replies! I figured the 1 & 2 were different enough to warrant having them both.

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
I discovered BugBrand rather late, and I’m relatively new to modular as well. I first became aware of the DRM1 from a demonstration video Elektron did for a Rytm upgrade that featured the Impulse machine triggering the DRM1. I was intrigued but DRM1s were already hen’s teeth at that point.
I was thrilled when the DRM2 came out and finally got one last year (or was it the year before, time just keeps slippin’). It is such a great instrument - if I could afford it I’d buy several and make a drum set out of them. Until I become filthy rich, I’ll have to settle for sampling it or tricky modulation.
Very interested in a DRM1 if anyone needs to unload some gear.
There was one on Reverb awhile ago, for about 3 seconds and I missed it.

Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
northerntao - I am similar - came to it late, and love the DRM2 but of course always keeping a keen eye out for a DRM1... even put up a WTB ad ... but mostly as a joke.. you know, just for fun. All the demos I have seen/heard of them both seem to just reinforce what everyone else has said - different beasts. One more rare to find in the wild than the other though.
Re: DRM1 AND DRM2??
Since the demand for DRM1x is still quite high, maybe there’s a chance to make the final run this or next year? Would be awesome, since the prices are crazy, someone was trying to sell one without expander for 800 bucks...
