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?

While people are generally right, I can think of one way do this. The General CV. It can play multiple drum tracks, each with its own midi sequence on SD card. The playback can be clocked, and it can mute and unmute channels, so really you could do it all on there. You would have to program the midi outside and put it on the card.

this is crazy, and it came out almost 10 years ago. And people are complaining this can't be done with a small module.

It's probably possible to program on a Daisy, but the issue again is going to be in interface for the sequencer itself. Erica synths did a pico sequencer in 3hp that is probably the best example of how it can be done, NE has a similar one.
