Vintage analogue drum machine TAMA Techstar TS305 - $400

$400 - Old analog knob heaven, 3xTom, 1xKick , 1xSnare. 1xRim shot, All sounds have individual outputs. There is no MIDI or built in sequencer. The sounds are triggered by small voltage, 5V I think? You can plug drum pads into it (thats whas TAMAS initial idea) But you can just hook it up with an audio calbe and send sounds through, and that would trigger it as well, I used multiple outputs on my sound, sending just short sounds to the drum machine, then I was able to Sequence it in Ableton. Another way of doing it would be to get a cheap drum machine with multible outs and either MIDI or built in sequencer.

It's in good nick for it's age, got some small marks, but doesn't effect performance

I will see if I can put a video up during the next few days. Do a google to find out a bit more about this rare beast.
