Great memories had one in the 80’s and hooked it up to a TR707. Plus bass drum pad Worked great.

Lol, you never fail to surprise me. As a (former) drummer myself, I remember buying a demo Roland Kit for half-price from Rose-Morris's window in Denmark St ... back in 2002. A hefty £2k all the same .. sold on Ebay the following year for a healthy profit!

Ah, I remember the trips to Denmark Street back in the day... I think I went to a Turnkey "clear out" sale when I was about 14 or something, and queued for hours before it opened. Spent about £20 which was a fortune then.

@@musictechtuition ah yes, Turnkey took a lot of my money too. The downside of working in the West End was the constant pull of the shiny new tech in that small area. If only I could have worked out a more sensible route to the tube station lol

I hate your Tshirt.... And love it 😂😂 Great video as always btw

[@musictechtuition]

😀Nice to see it's working as designed. I have the same feelings for the shirt!

[@johngrant5749]

I would imagine you’ll need to replace the battery too.

[@musictechtuition]

Amazingly, it's still dead on 3v, and not leaking... but you're probably right, so I'll order one!
