This is not DC offset, the drum machine simply exhibits that behaviour. I'm quite sure that a TB909 for example has this. Do you know with what kind of filter one can bring those "spikes" back in line with the rest of the waveform?
It may be that other versions have been mastered slightly differently... I'll check this with my UK copy...
well if you look at the pic I posted earlier you can see that Confusion the Waitress does not show that offset there. And while I'm not a technician, it certainly looks like a dc offset to me. Even if "the drum machine simly exhibits that" (which I doubt) it's still a dc offset. It's more likely that whatever processing you did introduced the offset. A good wave editor (I use Steinberg Wavelab) should have a "remove DC offset" option.
Also there's no such thing as a TB909 (it's either a TB303 or a TR909 with B standing for Bassline and R for Rhythm)
