Description
This Alesis HR-16 drum machine was used on many early Smashing Pumpkins demos, and pre-dates Jimmy Chamberlin joining the band in 1988. So in that way, this humble HR-16 was the first Smashing Pumpkins drummer, lending it’s sequenced beats to song ideas Corgan was composing in a duo with James Iha, and later, the first performances of the Pumkins with Corgan, Iha, and D'arcy Wretzky on bass.
The HR–16 stormed the drum machine world just as Alesis’s digital XT Reverb had done with outboard gear a few years earlier. This is all thanks to Alesis founder, Keith Barr, who was determined to carve out a niche making expensive–sounding products in no–frills packages. This is the same Keith Barr who co–founded MXR.
For the everyday musicians who didn’t want their machines to sound so machine-like, the HR–16 was magic.
