A little demo I put together showcasing the programmability of the Alesis SR-16 drum machine. All rhythms were programmed by hand, and I attempted to make close approximations to the original songs using all available drum sounds inside the unit. "1979" by Smashing Pumpkins is the only exception, as the song originally used the SR-16 as an additional rhythm layer.

Rhythms featured:
1. Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 (1995)
2. Tears for Fears - Shout (1984)
3. Generic Motown rhythm using the 808-style kick and snare drums
4. Hall & Oates - I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) (1981)
5. Tangerine Dream - Choronzon (1981)
6. Grandmaster Flash - The Message (1982)
7. Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight (1981)
8. Phil Collins - One More Night (1985)
9. Phil Collins - Don't Lose My Number(1985)
10. Phil Collins - Sussudio (1985)
11. Phil Collins - Take Me Home (1985)
