Details:
"The Drumfire DF-500 is a 5 channel drum synth module. The 5 channels are identical, with their own Trigger-In and Audio Out sockets. Each channel is a mini analogue synth drum module, capable of producing a wide range of electronic drum sounds, and since every parameter is defined by a knob, it's highly tweakable. The 5 drum channels also have their own level and pan pots, and the signals are mixed to a pair of stereo outputs with Left/Right volume control.
Each channel has 9 controls (8 knobs & 1 switch):
-SENSITIVITY controls pickup/trigger in sensitivity
-OSCILLATOR DECAY controls decay time of the synth oscillator
-NOISE DECAY controls decay time of the noise sound
-SWEEP alters oscillator frequency
-PITCH changes oscillator pitch
-BALANCE controls balance between oscillator/noise
-VOLUME output volume to mixer
-PAN L/R balance control, also allow dual output on L/R jacks"

I had a DF-500 for a while. It looks cooler than it sounds. It is very thin sounding. You can get the same sounds on any basic monosynth. For the same price that the DF-500 usually goes for on ebay, the Simmons SDS 8 or Tama Techstar stuff sounds way better. And you can still get those thin sounds if you want them.
