Drum machines are enjoyable, however there’s nothing fairly just like the sound of en digital drum pad. The percussionist for Kraftwerk, Wolfgang Flür, could have invented them. Right here’s extra from CDM:
[Wolfgang Flür] himself informed the story in an interview with PROG – and if this doesn’t encourage you to seize some wooden and a soldering iron to do that your self, nothing will:
Round 1973, Ralf and Florian wanted one other drummer to create a contemporary drum sound for his or her experimental music. Once they requested me to do some classes of their rehearsal room, that they had solely a kids’s drum set, which was damaged somewhere else and unusable. In a nook of the room I discovered an automated rhythm field, which they’d already used on their Ralf & Florian album. The sounds of this Farfisa Rhythm 10 field have been terrific when utilizing the frontside knobs one after the other. Florian and I thought of how a drummer may use such sounds often, taking part in with sticks. And collectively we had the thought to construct a picket panel with spherical steel plates, for a sound-releasing electrical contact. We used it for our first German TV look on the tradition present Aspekte, in October 1973, once we performed Tanzmusik.
