Isham,
Nice to hear from you, and of course i concur with your choices in drum machines and samplers, that's just about the ones i would have. However i would settle on just the linndrum, as the feel is the same as the lm-1 and it has almost the same sounds-yes i know the lm-1 has a few more sounds, but i didn't think they made a big difference, plus the kick on the linndrum is superior and of course it's easier to midi. The one thing i like better about the lm-1 is the individual tunings, i wish the linndrum had had that feature.
What i have is essentially a fully modded forat 9000, the LAST linndrum bruce every made (ask him lol i was the one fanatic who inspired him to piece one last one together, name is will), and an oberheim dx with stretch. That's more than enough for me, i dont care for the roland drum machines, you? My direct email is
