Here's something you don't see everyday. Check out this previously posted video as well. That is the only other post to mention the Godwin Drummaker.

"So, here is a very rare chance to acquire a thing of beauty!An extremely rare analogue accompaniment machine made by Godwin in Italy in the 70’s. This is a Drummaker 32p with additional controller keyboard the K32 both in excellent condition and fully functioning!
It’s a 4 part analogue synth and drum machine with preset patterns in Bass, Chords, Drums and Arpeggio sections all with separate outs. You can play your own chords and melodies on the keyboard and the bass and arpeggio automatically follow the riffs, which is amazingly cool.
As well as synth sounds you can also play the amazing rooty analogue bass live on the keyboard, bass has a (limited) filter sweep control. The drums sound crisp, a studio 54 disco in the box with 6 separate volume faders, to drop in and out. 16 patterns and 2 fills each. The arpeggio has 4 different sounds with 3 different patterns, and there is 4 synth tones.
There’s a trigger out and 3 inputs for various pedals. It has a couple of marks on the wood where the keyboard sits on top, all buttons work perfectly, the drum faders are clean, very seldom it’s a little scratchy on the bass fader but only when you move it, doesn’t cut out, just needs a quick clean. The ‘digital’ number display for 1-16 has an extra calculator line on the 1. But absolutely no probs apart from this."
