"I bought these years ago from somebody who claimed these belonged to Billy Cobham. It makes sense as he is a Tama endorser. When I asked Billy about these units, he had no recollection of them.
It appears intended to use with drum-mounted pickups. However i was able to experiment & clock it with a Doepfer Shaltwerk, Roland TR-606 & new Roland TB-03.
