Back in 2012, this little analog drum box emerged from the inventive minds at a Russian synth maker, channeling the raw grit of 1970s classics but with a distinctly Eastern European edge—think punchy, unpolished beats that cut through mixes like a Soviet-era relic rediscovered.
Super compact and lightweight, it packs five dedicated analog sound shapers: bass drum, snare, tom, open hat, and closed hat, all driven by 100% analog synthesis with a dual-mode noise generator tailored for the snare and hats. You tweak everything via just 10 knobs and 4 switches, keeping it hands-on and immediate—no menus, pure knob-per-function bliss. MIDI In on 16 channels lets you trigger from any sequencer, with a single 1/4-inch mono out and power from a included 15V DC adapter.
Owners love its aggressive, characterful tones that stand out in electronic and experimental setups, often modded for even more punch, though some wish for individual outs or built-in sequencing. It's a gem for anyone chasing authentic analog drum vibes on a budget.
