Metasonix D-1000 Vacuum Tube Drum Machine

Unlike the Sideman, it’s a “modern” primitive device-with plenty of inputs, outputs, and flexibility, the company says.

It has only four drum sounds—two tunable drums, a tunable “snare” drum (harder sounding than the others), and a cymbal—control, but Metasonix says voltage inputs give it “great flexibility” anyway.

Specifcations:
