The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (Drum Pattern)

A simple pattern that sounds like it was programmed with LinnDrum sounds. The constant driving beat is only interrupted during two fills (1D and 1E), which creates a really nice contrast. Some more variations like cowbell, hi-hats and an additional unaccented kick on the last step form the backbone for this awesome synthwave song.

Difficulty rating: 🐇

I realize this post is from a while ago, but Revolution by Wave Alchemy includes a good LinnDrum plugin. I believe they also have their sample packs available as Ableton presets now.

Hi Eugene, my personal favourite LinnDrum samples are from Goldbaby's Tape Drum Machine Collection https://goldbaby.co.nz/tdmc.html Samples from Mars still has their annual end of the year going with a 97% discount https://samplesfrommars.com/collections/biggest-savings/products/all-the-drums Regarding on what drum machine to use: Any machine capable of playing samples should do (Elektron Digitakt, Elektron Model:Samples, Roland TR-6S, Roland TR-8S, any of the Akai MPCs, Native Instruments Maschine+, Novation Circuit Rhythm, Volca Sample, Polyend Tracker and lots more), but they have their differences when it comes to how the samples sound when you change their pitch. We'll do a comparison between the Elektron and Roland sound of pitched samples in the TR-6S review.

Where can I find some good LinnDrum sample packs? Do you have a recommendation for what drum machines would be good to try this one on or basically, anything will work?
