Talk:Danger Zone (song)

Wrong Instrument Information, Unsourced

This article says, "The bass line is performed on a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, with the drums being provided by a Roland S-50 keyboard, both instruments extensively used in 1980s pop music."

This is stupid and ridiculous, the Roland S-50 wasn't used extensively in 1980s pop music, wasn't used on Danger Zone, and didn't exist when this song was recorded or even a year after it was recorded. This song was on an album released May 13, 1986, and was in a movie trailer made 1-2 months earlier. The December 1987 Keyboard Magazine has a new product review of the Roland S-50 and that would have had to have been written in September 1987, and also has a 3-page advertisement from Roland for the S-50. Aside from completely keyboard synth/sampler based artists like Art of Noise, Depeche Mode, or Pet Shop Boys, I'll bet there wasn't a single top 20 song in 1986 that had all the drums coming from ANY keyboard sampler. People just didn't do things that way in 1985 and 1986.

This song, like almost every other top hit song from 1986, uses the LinnDrum for the drums. You can hear it in the snappy kick drum and the stick-y hi-hat sound. There's no way to source this Linn information (no way to source common sense or reality for Wiki standards), but I am deleting this Roland sampler garbage.66.245.201.46 (talk) 10:57, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
