Drumfax 1: The Preset Rhythm Box Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781723106514)

DRUMFAX (VOLUME 1) documents the rise and fall of the preset rhythm boxes (drum machines as we now refer to them) that first emerged in the late 1960s, and were manufactured in large numbers until the emergence of the programmable drum machines put a quick end to their production in the early 1980s. Three hundred different units are detailed here over 150 pages, packed with information and monochrome photographs of these highly collectable rhythm units. The Ace Tone Rhythm Aces, EKO and Elka units, Korg Mini Pops, Kawai Rhythmers, Maestro Rhythm Kings and Queen, and Roland CompuRhythms and Transistor Rhythms, - the book has detailed information on all units released by both the well-known and obscure instrument manufacturers from all over the World. DRUMFAX is an essential guide for instrument collectors, drum machine enthusiasts and recording artists. Additional DRUMFAX books 2 and 3 chronicle the drum machines manufactured from 1980-2018.
