Re: (313) New to the list

It's funny, I actually own that Mattel drum computer! It's called Synsonics
Drums. I had the Intellivision games console, and bought that drum thing
because it was by Mattel Electronics also, and I was big into breakdancing
and electro back then (1985). And that's the one machine I forgot to include
on my website! I'll have to delete one of the ones already up there and
sample that one day. But it's in storage somewhere at the moment.

  What else is on the Dance Mega drums CD Rom?

Glad you like them. These are samples I've been collecting for years. A lot
are off a few really old sample cds (Not dance mega drums), and there's also
a lot I've come accross on the net. Many of which weren't edited very well,
so I've run them all through Batch Convertor to remove any unwanted space at
the start and end.

Just wondering, but that list of drum machines samples looks a lot like  
the sample from this Akai sample CD i got called Dance Mega Drums,  
which has an almost endless collection of drumcomputers on it, ranging  
from the X0X series to the Mattel drumcomputer (yes the people who made  
Barbie & Ken also created a drumcomputer :))
