Stimming reviews Vermona DRM1 MKIV analog drum synthesizer 

New Stimming single "Judith Maria" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MANXyn4ulyw.html

I don't know if I want this drum synth but I'll have the same coffee Stimming is having.

Such an interesting reviewer - entertaining to watch

25:37 Glitch hop? is the most unusual moment! Always thought the Vermona clap sound was especially nice and crunchy!

I think you mean mk 2 , Mark 3 is just like this Mr Stims, regarding Bass drums. I love that u can use the direct outs as inserts , so much guitar pedal fun and loop it right back to master!

each output is also a send return at least the mkiii was

2nd

That line was looooong...

don't forget to use proper speakers/headphones/in-ears (the standard airpods dont count :)) as the basses go low low low in here!

My first time seeing this guy - he's very entertaining. As for Vermona, I have to applaud them because why mess with perfection? Rather than having their original model disappear, forcing Behringer to do a remake due to scarcity of a classic like so many synths we know of, they are keeping the market saturated with availability. Love my MKIII!!

A powerful recreation of sitting in a late 90s stoner boy's dorm room in college, raiding his mini fridge while he turns knobs on his new drum machine. 10/10 will watch again

I love it, whenever Stimming starts to do housestabs while modulating the decay, which modulates his elbows into this beautiful hiccup/dance

Eigentlich bin ich nur hier, um Herrn Stimming beim exstatischen Sitz-Tanz zu betrachten und mich daran zu erfreuen. Gude Laune!

I need a friend like Stimming.

"there's a little optimization for Vermona... for the MKV... in 10 years", lol

I have a mk3. I love it’s industrial design. I feel like I am controlling a nuclear reactor, trying not to go into meltdown. I run it through my octatrack, used for sequencing and fx. It has the same volume balance issue, but I always start off with all volume knobs minimised and bring them up one by one to taste. A bit of compression and verb sounds great. Brilliant entertaining review. Thanks.

Apparently Stimming himself became a drum machine while doing this review 😂

Some years ago we visited the Vermona HQ for Electronic Beats TV. Enjoy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFwEy4ilMdI.html

Stimming went a little crazy on quarantine))

❤ Stimming

Thanks for the demo, I am considering one... What's your opinion on pairing it with Machinedrum?

i dont know what they did but the mk4 is just much more chunky than the mk3

I had a mkiii and liked it but really wished it could be modulated. I know it would add to the cost but a version with a big CV expander or midi control of CCs would be unbelievable.

His point about the DRM1 sounding too raw is really perceptive. That's what led me to sell my mkii years and years ago though I'm not sure I realized that's what I didn't like about it at the time. He's really astute and it never seems like he's just recycling consensus opinion or conventional wisdom.

"A big, fucking, analog drum synthesizer" - or how Vermona should advertise it.

I never laughed that much watching a review of a freaking drum machine. Thanks Stimming

Seems like a huge shame to have all those knobs for performance, and then just use it as a sound source for sampling. Kind of a flop of a conclusion. Samples are so static, the opportunity that exists with all those knobs for shaping on the fly is where I think this device should excel.

Hab ick mal schlechte Laune oder fehlt mir Inspiration zum Schrauben, schau ick n Review von Stimming und die Welt ist wieder in Ordnung 🤗

The best clap i ever heard was with my hands

3:01 "...meet the 21st Century requirements for Punch!" - Oh yes! 🔊❤

the amount of like will power it felt like it took to get the first sentance out for some reason made me laugh for like 10 whole seconds furiously. Im now going to sample it... awesome intro lol...

Martin is einfach nur zu nice der dude xD

I want to take him home

So this is the new home base for the Stimming reviews???? I'm asking because I subbed lol

Its the funniest Stimming review...this little „uhs ,ähms and aaahs“ 😁. Love✌️

Dudeeeeee youre killin it on this thing O.o Still the best reviewer :D Can we get a syntakt review?

The MK3 bass drum is pretty amazing I think

The individual outputs can be used as inserts. Thats quite a point, wich I was missing in this this review. Beside of that, nice grooves as always.

I used to sequence the MKIII on the Digitakt too, the sounds are really great. But they still haven't implemented CC :(

Digitakt + Vermona = Machinedrum MK3

I could watch Stimming review a plank of wood and I'd be entertained...

cv or lfo for a choosable parameter for each channel would be a dream for this synth. i really hoped something like this will come to mk4. soundwise i was happy with the mk3.

Stimming is the one and only!!!

second time watching, even better. lots to observe and learn from this fellow. thanks, Stimming!

"Not my tempo" lol Luv ya Stimming :D

Great intro. It gave me 90s flash backs.

ROHMATERIALLIEFERANT.

"Needs reverb" = must be played in a big warehouse or, preferably, in an abandoned factory.

You should do a review of the Waldorf Zaremburg in the background!

Damn bro, what a workout, THANK YOU for this! It's looking like the mkIV is the drum synth I never knew I needed.

Moment I clicked sub-scribe @25:47 not heard that on any perkons video.

Great video! In terms of percussion-modules/drum-machines as I started making electronic musix I used the MAM ADX-1 (which is a Vermona product) besides a SCI Drumtraks. I've been using a DRM Mk III for years and I love it. Ok ... I still have the ADX and the Drumtraks, for sure.

I emailed Vermona jokingly asking if they would make a MKIV before I bought MKIII last year...

Hey hey, what brand is green and white 1/4 jack cables?

“Nicely shaped edge in the back so it doesn’t take more space than it needs to do it from itself in the rack!”... my thoughts on my mkiii, exactly! I’m really relieved by that notched out zone is there. To protect the fat 1/4” and MIDI cable plugs that would otherwise stick out, annoyingly. My Vermona DRM1 wish list is pretty short: “Please Vermona, can we have one of those fancy 20-turn precision potentiometers with the knobs with the counter and latch? instead of the single sweep ones, at least for the PITCH on the KICk?!!” THANKS FOR SHARING THIS, STIMMING!!

That wasn't exactly a "subtle" bit of reverb... :) But I get the idea. Now, combine this with some gentle buss compression and bob's your uncle.

When Stimming enjoys something this much I think he should get sales royalties. His enthusiasm and love for music is awesome! More please?

he really has fun with this machine! especially in combinatiom with the digitakt. he is totally vibing!

Fantastic grooves Stimming! Another excellent review that cuts through to the reality of the box.

best reviews ever (L)

Es macht immer wieder auf's neue Spaß dir zuzusehen @Stimming Ein Genuss für Ohren und Augen ❤

I've been eying the DRM-1 for quite some while now... It har a certain asthetic and sound that is very appealing to me. But I also need to get a sequencer lol

I love my DRM MKIII....I honestly can't tell much of a difference aside from it looks like the 'sweet spots' are much broader maybe. It's not the #1 Stunna drum synth/machine. Meaning, it's probably going to need assistance, a wingman and it will take some extra work to build a kit. That being said, I've yet to find any drum machine/synth, groovebox, sample based instrument, mono synth, poly synth, or any other instrument that would fill the space without a second layer. I'm pretty much in agreement with you but starting with DRM is my favorite to build a foundation. Especially independent outs into efx racks both in the box and out. It's no9t the most practical option but I usually work better within limitations that are still legit in their own right. Not sure that made any sense...anyways, I love your music, your demos and the fact you gave this gem another try and shared the experience with us all. Cheers from Atlanta, Georgia USA

not much different from the mk3. I really wished the mk4 would have some patch points to modulate it's parameters. Maybe in mk5...

Pure/raw is a very good thing to cut through a mix or slam hard in a club. When recording it at home just run it through saturation and parallel compression to the level of warmth and thickness you like. Once I borrowed a JoMoX XBase 09 for a live show. The clean sound at home sounded thin, weak and weird. In the club it was beastly (given you plug it through an analogue mixer straight into the PA and don't run it through the cheap AD/DA of a mobile interface/computer). When I recorded it at 96KHz resolution I saw in RX that it outputs sonic content all the way up to 60KHz. Although we supposedly can't hear this with our ears, I'm left wondering if, in a club on a good system, we can't somehow feel this...

hahah.... BAD BASS DRUM beginning switching into a softvoice "hallo" :-)))))... perfect start!

Stimmy puts the laugh back into gear.🙂

..there are differences.. I own a DRM1 MKII with chrome knobs it has 3 drum channels instead of 2 drum and 1 kick.. the DRM1 has absolutely the best hi hats and cymbals

the real stuff happens for me at 25:10 and on. that Plastikman all over. Amazing till the end. Yes please …. really really cool.

What would be the simplest and best step sequencer to pair with this baby? Love these sounds

Thank you Stimming. Your reviews are entertaining because you are playful. Some lack that. You are absolutely convincing.

I really tried to like Vermona, but it sounds so boring to my ears, and you need another 1k+ in pedals & effects to make it sound exciting

Man those two beats at the end were awesome. When's Stimming gonna start a Beat Stars account? 🤣

That is one beautiful reverb 😍

Stimming reviews are one of a kind 😄👌

Hello and thanks for this video. I just purchased a Roland Tr8s and was wondering if you think the DRM1 would sound good with Roland? I am new to producing electronic music so not sure what gear works well together. Thanks

This must be the best review ever 😅❤️

Thats Obese Baseline ... LOve it !! just may buy it this week. :)

4:53 That "hhhrrrrhhh"-Sound is sample-worthy 😀

Man, I had the MKIII for years and it was fun, but I haven't missed it. I won't be buying a MkIV, but I'm happy Vermona made it if only to generate this review, which was really a joy to watch!

Your dancing is making me very happy.

youre sucha legend stimming! makin tha money!

Thats the reason why i like Stimming, he is so funny xD.... 4:39

What a performance :D love it. Gotta say that I miss some CV controllability at least for a few parameters per voice. I know this makes it all way more complex and requires space, but then you could use it in a setup with more instruments. As it stands, I'd be afraid it was too static for me to perform with it.

Der Gerät ist doof, aber ich habs trotzdem bis zum Ende geguckt, weil der Typ so lustig ist...

Nice video! Nice sounds! Another improvement are the dynamic trigger inputs ...

The most informative video when it comes to explaining midi learn/mapping

I've still got the MKIII sealed in my home studio. Don't see a reason for an upgrade although they've included some tweaks on the instruments but this is a legendary drum synthesizer.

Makes me want to get a Digitakt...

If only this analog engine was in the Rytm ...

I am waiting for this to come out soon! Anyone know the ETA?!

Thanks so much for this video!

Stimming is an absolute legend. We're here for him, for his take on gear, the gear is secondary. I love how he voices his opinions.

13:50 hi friend vibes from deadmau5

my new favourite comedian :)

Love watching you jam to the sweet beats this thing can create

Just a „little“ bit of reverb.. ;)

oh god this is so fucking good

Drum 1 & 2 have different frequency ranges. The difference between the versions is listed on vermonas site if anyone are curios
