There are many featured sounds on a drum machine that one can use to produce rhythms for a track. Each model of these machines contains various combinations of percussion instrument sounds. There are also differences, depending on the type or model of the drum machine, in the way each element actually sounds to the listener. Many models may feature the same element but also have variations of them with different sounding pitches or frequencies in attempts to recreate different styles of actual drumming. Despite these differences, almost all models and types of drum machines have a basic set of sounds that the user can utilize in creating his or her own rhythm for their track or musical arrangement. Usually, there are drum sounds, cymbol sounds, and various other sounds that are featured on drum machines. Drum sounds include such elements as the bass drum, snare drum, snare rim-shot, high tom-tom, mid tom-tom, and low tom-tom. Cymbal sounds include elements such as the open high-hat, the closed high-hat, crash cymbal, and the ride cymbal. As additional sounds to be incorporated in drum rhythms, most machines include extra sounds that may not be found on actual drum sets. These sounds may include such elements as hand clap, cowbells, and wood block noises (Programmable Drum Machines). These various sounds basically allow the user access to a complete drum set all in one convenient and space saving interface. There are some drum machines which allow the recording of the user's own sounds which further enhance the range of sounds that can be used with drum machines. The user can arrange the different types and kinds of percussion sounds and other musical elements to their liking and create complete drum rhythms for their musical tracks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
