Hammerhead Rhythm Station (1997)

The highlight for me in highschool music class was learning to use Hammerhead for an assignment. I was horrible at the recorder and dreaded music class because of it, but creating beats was fun.

Heh, I remember playing around with Hammerhead back in the 1990s. Nothing came of it, but it was fun.

Sadly, the download link appears to be broken. :-(

I used that to make tracks with Hammerhead in the 90s. Some of my friends also did.

I was too young to club in 1997, but I knew Prodigy. The "Jungle" preset showed the secret to the some Prodigy drum sounds. Being young I was quite late in the game, and that thrashy DnB wasn't fashionable anymore (everyone was into quieter DnB around the 2000s), but our teen group loved it and it was a blast to show it to friends.

I had one of the free DAWs from the time, but one of my pals used SoundForge to put drums together. Very time consuming but to be fair I was more productive back them than now.

When I interned at a professional studio, I also used it a couple times in customer tracks that required electronic drums. We had a Roland TR-505 I think, but some customers thought it sounded too 80s for the time.
