Exploring Classic Korg & Roland Drum Machines with Oli Freke

These classic drum machines still sound incredible! Join Oli Freke as we explore the iconic beats that defined the ‘70s and ‘80s — from early analog boxes to digital legends. This week, we’re joined by Oli Freke, author of the brilliant Synth Evolutions book and designer of the iconic poster seen behind me. Oli’s back to talk about his next big project — a new book all about vintage drum machines. He shares the history, sound demos, and stories behind some of the most influential rhythm boxes ever made — from the Korg Mini Pops to the Roland TR-606, Boss DR-55, Korg DDM-110, and Yamaha RX17. If you love classic analog and early digital drum machines, this one’s for you! 🕒 Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction 00:37 – Oli Freke returns to TDL Synth Chat 01:02 – Oli’s new drum machine book project 02:05 – Why drum machines define entire eras of sound 03:06 – Researching over 1,000 drum machines 04:09 – Choosing the most iconic and influential units 04:23 – Demonstrating five classic drum machines 05:01 – The Mini Pops Junior (1971) 07:05 – Mini Pops sound demo and rhythm examples 10:01 – Famous uses: R.E.M., Echo & The Bunnymen, Jean-Michel Jarre 12:27 – Boss DR-55 – The first programmable Boss drum machine 14:03 – DR-55 sound demo 18:04 – Influence on early ‘80s synthpop and techno 20:07 – TR-606 – The Roland legend 21:20 – Programming classic 606 beats 23:01 – The 606 groove: early electro and house sounds 25:57 – Comparing the vintage TR-606 with the modern TR-6S 28:02 – Korg DDM-110 – Sample-based ‘Super Drums’ (1985) 30:35 – DDM-110 sound demo and analysis 33:32 – Early sampling limitations and quirks 34:03 – Yamaha RX17 – 12-bit drums and Latin percussion 35:44 – RX17 sound demo and programming 39:13 – The evolution from analog to digital to modern drum machines 41:04 – How drum machines shaped music history 42:04 – Where to find Oli’s books and posters https://www.synthevolution.net/ 43:26 – Outro and invitation to join future episodes 🎧 Guest: Oli Freke – Author of Synth Evolutions 📘 https://www.synthevolution.net/ for Oli’s books, posters, and updates on his upcoming drum machine guide. 💬 Want to be on the show?
