Pearl Syncussion SY-1 Drum Synthesizer

via this auction

"drum synthesizer made by Pearl Musical Instruments, circa 1985. This is one of the earliest drum synthesizers which I believe pre-dates Simmons."

Anyone know when the first SIMMONS drum synths appeared? I'm showing that the original Clap Trap came out in the 70s.

    Well, if it came out in 1985 it didn't pre-date Simmons. I think the more likely release year of this Pearl job was 1979-1980.
