Elektron Musical Instruments

I used them all once after listening to the Cure.  My fiance was 
listening to them alot so I decided to try to do one of thier style 
drum tracks with an echoed bass from my virus.  I did from high to 
low toms.  I guess you can always do that kind of tom pass if you are 
going for real drum sounds.  They have a nice ring and can add a 
tribal sound to a techno song i guess.  Just some ideas.
