There's no drum machne for instant jungle. Sampling is the keyword for that awesome beats.
Take a 909bassdrum, mix in some gated reverb add some distortion and compress with slow attack and large ratio. Same goes for snares. Then mix in a drumloop or two et voila. Something like the new Ronald groovesampler or akai S01 S20 will do. I use a S2000 with BossFX and a Behringer compressor

The best drumbox for these type of things is called "jazz-funk-soul-drummer". This gizmo is a rythmic mastermind in a black housing with two strange sticks going mad on a few skinns. This might be hard to find but when you do, hurry to sample it....

Lo, just wanted to note that a lot of New Skool Drum and Bass IS actually done with a drum machine. Since the birth of the standard drum and bass rhythm loop (you know the one that goes 00 Bassdrum - 04 Snaredrum - 10 Bassdrum - 12 Snaredrum); everyone is concentrating on other stuff instead of the breaks. Just listen to Jonny L, Ed Rush etc... so now someone answer this question again! What IS the best drumbox for this kind of shit?!?

Hey Marcus!

I got one of those but how do I integrate it into my MIDI
setup? I can't figure out where to put the MIDI cables.
It also seems stuck in heavy groove quantisation.

Yes Ivan....
That's one of the main problemn with this device.
Try the Kenton retrofit....
It'll give you MIDI control of both feet and both hands, plus several extras as Soul-To-MIDI and ModWheel controlled jazz-factor.
Good Luck!

If you really want to use a beatbox for jungle and not a sampler, the two at the top of my list, and in my studio, are the Jomox x-base09 and the XD-5, both can do thoes long drawn out 808 style drones. this will get you started but a sampler is really the tool here, or even any computer wav sequencer...like makn waves sequencer of samplitude.jusngle is in the eye of the beholder...good luck.

I agree a sampler is the best way to go.
Drum'n'bass mainly developed from experimentation with sampler time-stretching of beats didn't it?

Plus you want a wide variety of different hard snare and hi-hat sounds.

An Ensonique ASR-X or and AKAI MPC 2000 or 3000 would be great as these are intended as drum sampler/sequencers.

I saw a unit for orchestral sequencing the other day.
It was a black unit with two moving arms, one with a stick in it. I think it was called "Conductor" or something like that. Does it use something like that D-Beam thing for controlling the synth part or what? I couldn't see any cables.

They are a bit expensive though, if you want the whole kit..
