REALISTIC Metronome Analog Drum Machine with Mods

via this auction

"The Realistic Metronome may look like an answering machine, but it has all the thump and hiss of other vintage rhythm boxes. This one is special because Switched On Music Electronics added trigger inputs for the individual sounds and knobs for pitch and decay. Since this rhythm box operates internally on 10v, trigger sources must be greater than 10v to trigger the sounds. There is also a clock output, to help sync the preset rhythms to your music."

Electro Harmonix Super Space Drum

via this auction

"The SUPER Space Drum is an improvement on the simple design of its not-so-super relative; it has modulation, which goes into the audio range can be added or subtracted from the pitch. There are two trigger inputs and a switch to choose two decay settings. This thing is a blast--it clangs, wobbles, and shrieks."

M.P.C. The Kit with Original Box

via this auction

"The Kit is a very rare little percussion synthesizer. The kick, snare, and toms sound a lot like an 808, while the cymbals remind me of a Roland CR-78 or a Boss DR-55. The sounds can be adjusted via trimpots on the bottom of the unit (see photo), making the kick capable of Miami Bass style 808 booms or flat thuds. The Kit also has a sequencer for the hi-hat sounds, giving you a ton of different patterns in different time signatures."

Star SYNARE 3 vintage analog percussion drum pad synth

via this auction
"The Synare was the most popular stand-alone drum synth during the 70's and 80's. Every pop music cover band had one, mostly for the classic pee-oooh disco laser sound. However the Synare can get much crazier. It is a two oscillator monosynth with a nice filter, white noise, and two fast envelopes. One oscillator can FM the self-oscillating filter for great metallic sounds. The fast envelopes with filtered noise make for awesome blasting snares (Gary Numan used that sound to nice effect). The Synare 3 can even approximate an 808 cowbell by de-tuning the two oscillators. Endless fun."
