LinnDrum

The LM-1 made affordable, and everywhere

The LinnDrum (LM-2) cut the LM-1's price by more than half and sold ten times as many. Its snare, handclap, and cabasa are so recorded that hearing them now dates a track to within a couple of years.

Its LM-1 Drum Computer (1980) was among the first to play digital recordings of real drums, and the follow-up LinnDrum shaped the sound of 1980s pop production before the company closed in 1986.
