You all heard it, the short, cut, groovy snare sound coming in at 00:30 in my example.
Just wondering what drum machine has that snare-ish sound? I always thought Chicago House was all about the 909 but this snare isn't from the 909 as far as i can tell.

Great! Will probably buy this one in the near future.
