A Brief History of Drum Machines
From its humble beginnings as rhythmic support to organists, to later
setting dance floors ablaze with unrelenting and hypnotic beats, the drum
machine has been one of the most unappreciated of all musical inventions.
Uncompromising in its metronomic precision, the drum machine provides
a flawless rhythm section that never tires of playing the same four-bar
loop. However, when put into the right hands and proper musical context,
they can be finessed to create awe-inspiring rhythmic artistry.
First Drum Machine –
The Rhythmicon
The ground-breaking Rhythmicon was created
by Russian inventor Léon Theremin in 1931.
The machine was a collaboration with American
composer Henry Cowell and can produce
up to 16 different rhythms with a strikingly
bleepy sound.
