Behringer BDS-3: Analog Drum Synthesis Reimagined

Behringer returns to the roots of synthesized percussion with the BDS-3, an analog drum synthesizer channeling the spirit of 1980s drum machines. This semi-modular box offers four discrete analog channels, each primed for classic kicks, snares, and toms—or for venturing into the more experimental fringes of percussive sound design. In their official video, Behringer walks us through the BDS-3’s hands-on controls, modulation options, and input versatility, all wrapped in a retro-inspired chassis. For those who crave both punchy beats and the freedom to sculpt wild, otherworldly percussion, the BDS-3 promises to be more than just another drum box.

If you’re after punchy analog drums, weird percussive effects, or just another excuse to reroute your patch cables, this one’s worth a closer listen.
