Stimming reviews Arturia's DrumBrute Impact (Electronic Beats TV) 

Not only he does cover all the machine features, but he plays it so well, and has that nice humor that simply makes me pleasantly smile during the whole video.

Stimming needs a weekly review

This guy... I only started watching these reviews earlier today and I immediately love this guy. Such great insight into all of this stuff. 20-some minutes of Stimmer talking about the machine and how he would use it along with demonstrating what he can do with it is much more useful than watching half a dozen other "reviews" or "demos" because none of them cover the truly important stuff from a use perspective and none of them are capable of actually demonstrating what is really possible using the machine as much as he is. I don't need to have someone start recording and say "this is the LFO, watch what happens when I turn it." Honestly these reviews are killing most of the other reviews/demos for me. Time well-spent watching these. Stimmer makes me like machines that I would have thought I would dislike based on other people's demos (no surprise thanks to his talent). Also I find it much easier to compare this stuff before purchase based on how he evaluated them and how I would use them. Very, very useful information here.

I have absolutely no interest in this device but I can’t get enough videos of Stimming. Arguably the most honest and entertaining reviewer on RU-vid.

Excellent review. Would like to see more from Stimming int he future - far more honest than many other reviewers

stimming gives the most brutal honest reviews on gear.. if manufacturers aren't paying attention they are failing to utilize a great source of inspiration.

This is one of the best review ever. Clear, in-depth explained, played enough to prelisten to the device, and with such a nice sense of humor.

he could review every drum machine out there because i just wanted to listen to his jam

I love this guy! He looks like he's having an amazing time, really fun and informative.

18:55 "NJEA, AH AH AH AH, I SWITCHED THE PATTERN !". That distortion sold it to me, after seeing a B-stock at my fav shop.

I have no intention of buying this drum machine but I watched the video bc it's Stimming doing the review. The guy is always fun and full of insights.

Not often a gear review shows a top quality musician really put the kit through its paces and jam on it. Also Stimming is hilarious. Love it.

Bitte mehr Gear Reviews von Stimming in kleineren Abständen. Das macht Laune. Super Typ!

"I SWITCHED THE PATTERN" hahahahaha beautiful review

Finally someone shows off the full decay of the snare . Thank you

I often come to that video and directly jump to 18:55 :D

Loving the way your loving this thing. You always give honest reviews, and you were really grooving with it. I’ve got a tr8-s, but for stripped down banging techno, this looks the ticket. Still smiling at your fun. Nice.

"It's a bit OUCH! Sorry for that." is my favourite moment in all of this... nicely reviewed all in all

What an awesome review, thank you! Fantastic jamming at the end too :D

Bought the Impact on the strength of this review, beast of a machine, synced with a Beatstep Pro, a Circuit and a Microfreak and its definitely holding it's own

"I like this distortion, even though i will never use it" truer words have never been spoken

3:12 one kick, a pinch of hi hat and he is able to make it sound in a way that I want to hear a whole track.

"Oh I forgot the cowbell sorry... ding ding that's the cowbell" lol

I don't like the Impact for the stuff I want to do with it, but Stimming manages to get a sound out of the machine that 99% of the other videos just don't get anywhere near. Fantastic review, because drum machines really shine when they're in the right hands.

Awesome review. You really know how to tweak these knobs, damn....

"Bottom line: if you have talent, you can play well even on a potato. A great review. Thank you." ~ humans are and always will be the most important piece of the puzzle, the machines are here to serve us.

Watching you get lost and have fun towards the end is what sold it for me. Just bought it thanks to this video.

It wins by default as it has ‘song’ mode - so many machines don’t these days. Plus random, polyrhythm and other. Then you can eq , compress and other post device effects. The sound is hard to swallow at first but it’ll get there and mix. 15:54

I dig this guy. Very charismatic and talented. I recently picked up one of these machines. Gr8 machine! Watching this vid really opened new doors of inspiration for me. I love the way he ends the video. I agree.

I love your use of the onboard effects. You push them right to the point where it’s almost too much, but still tasteful. Especially reverbs.

Love Stimming hardware reviews.. he goes to the detail!

Excellent video! I like the fact that you give a very honest review, not only praising the machine, and also that you did it differently from others I've been watching. Very cool and original. Now to the machine, I think it sounds wayyyyy better than the original. The only 2 things that (for me) prevent it from being one of the best drum machines ever are that 1) you can't automate all the knobs, and 2) that it doesn't have some AD converter that sends 4 usb audio channels straight to the DAW, which would be much better for production. But as you said, for the price, you can't go wrong with this. I sure as hell will pick one when it's available here.

I love ya man, your awkwardness and politeness is very refreshing, sometimes the colors just don't gel eh! I'm with you, we're all influenced by the aesthetic, it does make a difference too the energy of creation.

Stimming should be every manufacturers default go-to gear reviewer.

It’s videos like this I wish you could give more than a thumbs up to show appreciation. Excellent review from a true master of the art. More of this please, EB.

Brilliant review and performance demonstration from Stimming, as always!

What I love about your reviews are the no bullshit approach and the moments where you find ‘that something’ and go off on one! Peace ✌️

I'm so excited- I just ordered one! That sequencer looks super fun!

Finally a video in which you can't help yourself but be excited. For a cheap drum machine no less. Awesome! 😀

You halfstep demo at the end made me want one. It's #1 on my current want-list now. I never had a drum-synth besides the Electribe ER-1, the Drumbrute Impact seems versatile enough use in place of samples.

Awesome review. And your pattern at the end - really good. Didn’t want it to stop!

This is by far the best sounding review of the drumbrute impact out there. And I'm still not sold on the sound :( I need an effect per channel for it to be usable. Stimming you're a monster on it though. Great stuff.

This the kind of reviews that is really helpful!

Some people moan about the Impact snare drum........yes its better through a mixer on the individual out, but the best 'snare' on this machine I've found is the FM on the end, again run it through a mixer on full gated reverb effect, give it a tweak and its the best trippy off beat sound you'll hear all week!!

I decided to buy an DrumBrute Impact after looking also this video, and what should I say. I love it! Also my little daughter (10 years) can work with the machine. Now the problem is, that anytime I'm in the studio she wants to play the Drum Brute....

great charming video and great demo tracks! i think the impact might just be what i need for drums :) ordered the black version!

Some meme potential at 18:55

18:08 to finish, WOW. He made that thing BANG! This is my new favorite clip! I thought I didn't particularly like the sounds of the DrumBrute Impact until I heard Stimmer use it. He made it sound amazing. I've never heard anyone come close to this. "So the best thing is, this machine only costs 300 Euros. So... go buy one." 🤣

Got a microfreak about two months ago, his review convinced me immediately. Might have to look into one of these eventually too.

Great Review as always from Stimming

I have not owned an analog drum machine since the mid 1980s when I bought a new Roland707. The DrumBrute drum machine impressed me with its 4 individual outputs and mix output. Independent effects processing is easy and creative. And now that I have the best sounding sampler in the world, recording analog one shots and patterns into my sampler would really add to the creativity. Now that only the Impact is available, the other Arturia has been discontinued, the choice is simple.

Bottom line: if you have talent, you can play well even on a potato. A great review. Thank you.

Nice review! You show lots of personality and get really good results. I love that colored kick sound. For the price, it sounds like a no brainer. It will compliment my minibrute 2S nicely.

The outro jam was fantastic. Makes me want one pronto

Man ,you`re creator! That was inspiring like hell!!

Best reviewer in the whole cloud.

damn bro that last track sounded so good, great job!

Well, that was a great review. You make some great sounds with this mini beast, I'm getting one for sure.

The trick with random is to just use very low values to add some slight variation to the beat, to break up that feel of identical mechanical looping when your hands are doing something else. But I agree there are better ways of doing random, like where you program in hits that have a probability of being triggered each time around, which gives you more control than the DB just throwing in hits at whatever random times.

Ja herlich;...wie immer! Jetzt macht der Mann topsolide Musik & wie immer könnt´ich ihm stundlenang zusehen, wie er Geräte testet, previewed, reviewed u.s.w. Da sehe ich irgendwie ein Konzept. Und mal wieder ganz herzliches Dankeschön :-)

Those jams were just SO sick.

Stimming's reviews of kit have now become my absolute go-to reviews of equipment, super concise, super clear, in depth without becoming boring and he flies through the details while keeping it interesting and informative. Bravo sir. Totally sold me an Elektron model cycles. I think it's a fucking ugly bit of kit but it's functions are top rate for it's price. I don't mind the looks on this device as much as he clearly does haha! But it's still a great review. No velocity is a big one for me, i'll be passing.

They should have scrapped the random function for a delay, the cowbell since it has no changeable parameters, and the fm drum color function. Motion sequencing would have really made this something most producers would have gotten their hands on. Other than that it's a great little drum machine.

Totally agree upon the colour of the upper layer buttons.

Thank you... I heard the ad, and the distortion seemed to be the most interesting personality trait, which was exploited quite nicely here.

Great honest review.

Liked and subbed at 18:56!!! how a human goes blu screen! LOVE! Man, thank you for sharing, super interesting

It sounds decent and is very tweakable. I think using it as a midi controller with the velocity sensitivity and sequencer is going to be very useful. The lack of quantize if wanted is great. Thanks for the review

that half time jam was insane.

part where he showcases the circuit distortion is absolute fire :D

You know it’s an excellent review when you have your viewers head noddin !

i'm never going to buy one of these, but this is just about the best review of any instrument i've ever seen. just look at 23:41 if you're undecided

This was informative and entertaining

A good review. It misses out on the random function though. As demonstrated, it doesn't sound good. It's preferable to use it on one of the drums only, eg snare, instead of all the drums. Also it sounds much better and adds a human-like touch, when you set it to very low values , eg 7

23:41 - aaaaand you're back in the room hahaha

less sounds but after having a drumbrute for a couple months (and watching this review a couple times) i think the impact is just the better of the 2 straight out of the box. awesome review.

A Random Knob is....random! :D grossartig! Und als die Cowbell ihren kleinen Auftritt hatte - sehr amüsant.

So much passion !!!! Love it

Keiner macht so viel Spaß wie Stimming!

Stimming you're amazing as always

I love the hats

Thanks for the lesson .. 💯

Holy shit this is a good review! I love how Martin looses himself!

Man, you're a wizard of the grooves!! 20:00 and on .................... crazy!

Stimming, that beat wouldn`t sound out of place in the berlin boiler room. i`m a fan, BANGIN.....

great demo! checking this machine out for sure

13:00 What a freaking beat. Holy shit!

Inspirational to watch this. Just wonderful.

Love the distorted gabber kicks. You should do that more often, Martin ;-)

Love your videos....keep them coming mate 🎼

Awesome. Love the endong. This machine costs 300 euros, so go buy one. 👊

Can you use the distortion on one pad and not use it on another? Or is it all or nothing? Thanks if you can let me know.

Hi! From Argentina! Nice video dude. I just bought the drumbrute impact and I have a question maybe you can help me. Do you know how can I change the clock to sync correctly my drumbrute pact with a Korg volca? Because when I connect it from clock out to sync in the volca is really faster speed. Tanks you so much hope you can help me with this! Cheersss

We really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

Killer pattern at the end...WOW.

I'm subscribing because of your dancing.

Fantastic performance

First video I have watched on your channel..... I'm subscribed. Even if you don't have any other good videos, which I know won't be the case.... Too much fun on this thing as it turns a grown man into a child having the most fun it's ever had. I have been watching endless footage to help me decide on a couple of the VOLCA's or this crazy piece of kit. Think I just decided... (although I know the Drumbrute impact must have its limitations at this price). There must be so many people that forget to even link it upto their synth as hours pass just making beats & wow can this thing do that, especially if you are an EDM addict like myself.... I think I have just used my dopamine levels for the week (if that's possible) listening to that bass!!! Sorry I never even got your name pal.... but great demo, thanks.

I love this drum machine - I wish they would make an Impact v2 to replace the original drumbrute - same sound as the impact - more functionality - more expensive. Add a few additional parameters to each instrument like a click for the kick etc and a few more FM voices. The FM voice is awesome. I think the hats could definitely be improved.

You make this thing sound so, so good!
