Description

Wurlitzer Sideman drum machine 1957, at the Cantos Foundation museum.

One of the first drum machines ever built, it used solder connections to register a beat.

This one has been fixed up heavily over the years in order to remain functional. It plays a sweet bassonova beat.

Visited Cantos Foundation in February 2009 and took a lot of pictures and video.
