Elka Drummer One SUPER RARE VINTAGE drum machine demo video


Published on Sep 15, 2013 thenormanconquest·46 videos

"This is a demo video for an extremely rare Elka Drummer One drum machine from Italy. This video features direct recording (D.I.) as well as a voice-over by myself. The unit itself does have some extra hiss/noise (due to the components/vintage of this unit), but you will also hear my laptop's fan noise in the video that got into my voice-over mic. The only two electronic problems with this unit are that the top light and the short cymbal do not work. Someone did install a universal power supply at some point, so this could be used anywhere with the right adapter plug. Someone also painted it a very glossy black (but not very well), so that might take a bit of work to get it back to original condition (or at least to the original wood color).

This drum machine was used by a bunch of Krautrock/other German experimental bands (Kraftwerk, Popul Vuh, Tangerine Dream, Cluster, etc.)."
