The Behringer RD-765 is a hybrid drum machine that pairs 176 built-in sampled sounds with an onboard sampler, a 64-step sequencer and a dual-mode analogue filter. It leans on the sound of 1980s sampled drum machines, then adds modern touches those classics never had: per-voice probability, real-time filter-cutoff recording, a Wave Designer attack control and a bitcrusher. Your own samples can be recorded in and tuned across 24 semitones.
Listed at $374 at Thomann, it undercuts almost every current drum machine with sampling. Our full first look covers the features in depth, and you can compare it with the best drum machines of 2026.
