Not the best pics, but you don't see these often.

via the listing: "A super rare vintage 80's analog drum module. It comes with the special bulky power supply, which can also power another unit, the power cables are MIDI cables coming from a line lump box transformer (see pics).

Fully functional in very nice condition for a unit that is around 30 years old. This one is a tough sell as it's has a nice variety of tone possibilities and a unique character that sets it apart from similar Simmons & Tama modules, even though it can be adjusted to sound similar if that's what your after. This unit has two channels. Each channel has a selectable switch to select tom/bass or snare sound, which alters the basic tone that can be shaped with the parameter knobs. You can really get some nice solid bassy kick drum sounds a la 808- & 909-ish varieties if you're looking for that, plus the range of Simmons like Tom sounds.

Each channel needs to be triggered by a drum pad or trigger signal (gate or audio signal will work). This works great with a Roland TR-606 (like I have in another auction) since it has two trigger outs, or you can use individual outputs from a drum machine/sampler using a sound with a sharp attack works best.

Check online if you need more info, demos, etc. There are some YT demos out there of these units. The other variations (DSM 1, 8) are all the same sound generating wise. This one has the benefit of 2 channels on one unit opposed to just 1 channel on the D.S.M. 1 and 8 units.

Please browse my other listings and/or inquire about other electronic music production gear & accessories that I am in the process of parting with. I will combine shipping."
