So from two legends Dave Smith and Roger Linn come an amazing looking analog drum machine.



Create Digital Music has a great interview with the two of them.

Skip to 2:05 if you just want to hear how it sounds...

Honestly I was not expecting the beautiful angelic sounds I heard when it started playing... this is amazing... if money was no object I would buy two so they wouldn't have to be lonely.

I assume this is what the Linn Drum II Analog and the Linn Drum II Digital would have been, as one unit.

I was following those for what seemed like years, then lost interest. I'm glad to see it's alive and kicking.
