Why buy such a limited drum machine in 2021/2022 when we have so many great options for sampling? Well, here's my reasoning, and what I make of the RD6.

00:00 Intro
01:50 Limitations
02:43 Features I like
04:39 Sequencing
07:23 Build Quality
09:25 Sounds
10:53 Downsides + Mods
13:37 Conclusion
15:09 Musical outro

If you want one of your own, feel free to click through to Amazon. I get a small commission for purchases, which helps keep me in whisky and beard oil:

I post all of the music I make, including WAV stems; sample packs; collections of video textures; early access to videos; and a whole pile of other stuff on Patreon. I know I know, I hate doing this as well, but if you like what I do and want to get more of it, while also helping me offset some of my ludicrous gear purchases, this is the best place to do it:

For other gear purchases, I recommend Signal Sounds in Glasgow (http://signalsounds.com), and also Perfect Circuit in the US. https://link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/... if you click through on the latter and buy anything they might sling me a couple of pennies.

and a whole pile of other stuff...

If you're in the market for new gear, my favourite place to find new and interesting synthesizers and other electronic music gear is Signal Sounds. They are based in Glasgow, but ship all over the place and often have stuff nobody else does. Find them at https://www.signalsounds.com/

If you're in the US and shop at Perfect Circuit, you can click through to see what they have in stock just now through my custom link. I get a small commission for any purchases made, which keeps me stocked up with whisky and beard oil. https://link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/...
