Alesis HR-16 drum machine used by Prince Paul
Alesis, American, founded 1984 · 1988
“I purchased this in ’88 and the sounds from this machine have been used on almost every record I worked on after 3 Feet High and Rising – Big Daddy Kane, 3rd Bass, Prince Among Thieves, and Stetsasonic. One record it can be clearly heard on is "It’s a Big Daddy thing " by Big Daddy Kane. On other albums I have used random percussion sounds from it, like low drums and hi hats." (Prince Paul)
