I like the pristine sound of the MD - the percussion synth is very clear a perfect 
match for the other gear I mentioned - just don't expect to get the typical   
analogue punch you get from an 808 or the warm sound of a DX or a 
linndrum - it's a different instrument. 

I use the MDs kits as fundament and layer them with other drums to get more 
punch if I need it e.g a 909 bassdrum module on top of an E12 bassdrum from 
the MD - the digital sound and the decay comes from the MD and just a tiny bit 
of punch is added by the 909 module.

I like the flexibility and the power of MDs synths, retrigger funktions and 
seperate delay and reverb in sync with the beat, just a few knobturns away on 
the same machine is unbeatable, and together with the external inputs it's one 
of the most creative electronic instruments I have ever owned.
