Book excerpt: As the musical styles of the 1970s moved from Prog Rock to Disco, to Punk and New Wave, there were early signs that drummers were tiring of the same old sounds of acoustic drums, and looking for something a bit different to come along. By the late 1970s, the wait was over. Soon the sound of the Pollard Syndrums - the distinctive "Peow Peow!" sound began to be heard on tracks from the likes of Rose Royce, Anita Ward, and The Cars, and a host of drummers added the Syndrums set into their acoustic kit set-up.In England, electronics engineer Dave Simmons was working on his own electronic drum module designs, and with help from drummer Richard Burgess (of Landscape) developed what became the Simmons Drum Synthesizer (SDS) V kit, released at the end of 1980. By the end of 1981, these distinctive hexagonal-shaped drums began to be heard on chart records, and were now seen on Top Of The Pops and other European TV music shows. The Electronic Drum Kit (EDK) had truly arrived.Electronic Drumfax features the electronic drum kits, modules, pads and accessories manufactured worldwide on five continents (USA, UK, Europe, Japan, and even Australia), taking the reader from 1973 and all the way through to the end of 1989 - the successes, the failures, and the totally obscure! Featuring over 200 electronic drum systems, over nearly 200 pages and in full colour.

Download or read book Drumfax 3 written by Alex Graham and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drumfax 3 - the last part of the Drumfax series of books that chronicles the era of the Drum Machine being used in the modern music industry. Drumfax 3 provides information on drum computers, Grooveboxes and drum programming enhancement devices released between 1990-2018. The 1990s saw a noticeable decline in drum machines, as keyboard workstations and samplers negated the need for stand-alone drum machines, and the drum machine market was aimed more as a play along device for guitarists. By 2000, the high online auction values of the classic 80s units had seen the emergence of several new companies like Acidlab and Jomox offering clones of vintage units like the Roland TR-606/808/909. This would eventually prompt Roland to release a sonically compatible re-design of their original drum boxes for the modern age. Drumfax 3 contains information on over 80 drum machines (from Acidlab to Zoom) packed into 170 information-packed black and white pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book/cassette pack consists of two parts: one for non-drummers who want to program drum machines, and one for drummers with percussion controllers who want to expand their playing by using melodies and not just rhythms. The part for non-drummers features more than 35 grooves and feels, and uses rhythm maps - unique simple reference guides used to get the 'real feel.' The section on percussion controllers gives all the instruction needed to play melodic and bass lines, plus chords and melodies. It finally frees the drummer from continually playing the rhythm parts. The Art Of Digital Drumming also gives advice on how to construct a song - where to put fills, ties, etc. The accompanying cassette covers all of the demonstrations found in the book.
