"The Synare synth drums are very underrated for what they can deliver which is a diverse range of synth tones.

Everyone has heard the classic 70's disco drum sound but the Synare is capable of a lot more.

Fat bass tones, a huge palette of analog drum & synth sounds, plus wild sound effects.

It has 2 oscillators which can deliver fat, complex and rich bass tones easily on par with the big names of vintage synths!

It also has a sweet-sounding analog filter with resonance that can self-oscillate, as well as other sound modifiers like decay.

The 3X has several presets but the fun begins on the 'manual' setting ('0') where a huge variety of sounds awaits.

Some possible uses are electronic noise / snare drums for drummers live - or for dub FX live like various UK sound system legends who use Synare like Jah Shaka - or to sample in order to create your own synth drum kits or sampler instruments like synth bass.

The Synare 3X is triggered by striking the top surface. It is also possible to modify Synares to be triggered by external audio or pulses if you connect a switching jack to the leads coming from the internal speaker.

The 3X has an internal switch (I am not sure if this enables external triggering via one of the 1/8inch jacks).

The 3X has 2 x 1/8 inch jacks which are for a DC power supply and to connect a 2cnd unit.

Comes with hardware so it can be attached to a drum stand.

The 3X does not come with an internal battery holder so you would want to secure batteries with gaffer tape or use a power adapter.

The oscillator 2 knob with the Synare 3X in this auction appears to be wired in reverse so the pitch goes up when you turn it to the left. For the rest it functions perfectly.

This drum has slight signs of use on the chassis and striking pad.

Runs on 2 x 9v batteries (included in this auction) or an external power supply (not included)."
