"Once again being triggered with Live. I threw this one together to provide a rough second example. For a slightly better shot of the setup, see my first one"
The rhythm kind of reminds me of Ultravox's Alles Klar mixed with The Thin Wall.

"Video 2 of the Perfourmer / TB-303 combo...
In this video, I have Synth 2 being controlled by CV/Gate from my TB-303 (out of frame). Synth 1, 3 & 4 are being controlled via MIDI, on the different channels, by Ableton Live. Synth 3 & 4 are using melodic oscillators, where Synth 1 is using white noise.

The TB-303's actual audio is brought in later, through my mixer... (around the 4:55 time)

Bass drum is from a TR-606 sample in Ableton

Synare Sensor

via this auction
"vintage 1970's Synare Sensor Drum synthesizer in its original box with 16 page booklet and insert for adapter should you need it. Made by Star Instruments Stafford Springs Ct. USA. 9 Volt battery required. The unit attaches to any drum rim and is run through a amp, P.A. or headphones. I had alot of fun with it doing weddings and Disco gigs in the late 70's and early 80's. It has many different sounds and adjustments to make it last long or short. Triggered when you hit the drum."
