Eine nicht weniger als zwei Stunden andauernde Reise durch die Geschichte der Trommelmaschinen auf die uns Daniel’s Electronics mitnimmt. Und ich finde, weniger hätten sie auch gar nicht verdient. Was wäre unser aller Leben ohne diese Zauberkisten?
This is a culmination of four years of recording drum machines. In the mid to late 20th century there was a cambrian explosion of strange and beautiful rhythm machines, with technology reflecting the great revolutions of their time. The first was the transistor revolution, which spawned the concept of what a drum machine could be. Next was the computer revolution, which added programmability. Presented in this video are a sampling of what drum machines sounded like in every year from 1965 to 1989. This is not an exhaustive list, but more of a selection of different types of gear from high end to low end, from standalone to integrated rhythms on keyboards.
