The BD is a real “live” 909 indeed and I think the clap was, too, and crash cymbal, but the snare is a 909 snare from JV-2080 because it just sounded better 🤷🏻♂️ Hats are real, too. The rimshot indeed is an 808 one, but can’t remember if that was from the same sample CD or from the JV, but we didn’t have an 808. Shaker is from the JV, too.
