2014/09/07

4 in the Floor Percussion Combo is a rare hand and/or foot drum synth produced by the japanese company Shin-Ei in the late 1960s.

As the name might give away – it has four static sounds: Basedrum, Tomtom, Claves and Snare. The snare sound features a roll function with variable speed.
This machine has some great analog sounds and is really fun to play.
