History of Electronic Instruments
Electronic musical instruments emerged from experiments with sound. As early as 1870, their first versions appeared, based on the technology of generating and imitating sounds. At the end of the sixties of the last century, electronic musical instruments became the property of the masses.
The Evolution of Drum Machines
The first drum machine is officially considered to be the Rhythmicon, a vacuum tube device that appeared in 1930 thanks to the collaboration of the avant-garde American composer and theorist Henry Cowell and the inventor of the theremin, Leo Theremin. In 1980, Roland released the TR-808 and three years later the famous TR-909.
Drum Machines Shaping Modern Music
Drum machines have had a profound influence on a huge number of popular music styles. Today, their rhythm is an integral part of all electronic dance styles, as well as hip-hop, rap, and related styles.
Bands Using Electronic Drums
Many bands incorporate electronic drums, either as a primary rhythm or in combination with acoustic drums. Some notable examples include bands like Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, New Order, Devo, The Who, Enigma, Deep Forest, and ELO.
Revival of Analog Drum Machines
The recent trend of many studios and sound engineers returning to real analog sound motivates manufacturers of music and studio equipment to release analog drum machines to the market.
