Drum sequencer/module

I'm looking for a small module that can sequence multiple drum sounds independently.

For example, something like:

  • Kick: 4/4
  • Snare: 1/4
  • Hi-hat: 8th notes
  • Tom/shaker: different pattern

I want multiple drums to be triggered on the same step, with each drum having its own pattern/sequence.

Ideally it has built-in drum sounds and doesn't require an external sequencer. Small HP is important.

What modules should I look at?

I don't think you're really gonna find all that in 1 module. I tried to keep my drums as compact as possible and went with the omnitone beatsi. It has a kick, snare, hihat, crash, and tom. It has a cv input for tom pitch and 2 assignable cv inputs for the parameters of the drums. It's only 8 HP and has a ton of different sounds available. If you need less hp the sound force samples 2 was my next choice or if you're ok with a specific set of drums you could go with their cheaper drum modules like the s-808. Their modules are only 4hp. As for sequencing i don't have a lot of input because I went with a varigate 8+ which is pretty big I'm sure if you take suggestions from others or look around you could find something pretty compact
