1:09 like the Heart Of Glass intro but slowed down. It's an amazing drum machine and the later transistor based drum machines in the 60's/70's sounded similar.
Listen to Bjork's song "Crabcraft" and LCD Sound System's "Losing My Edge" to see that the background beat was influenced by this vintage machine. Great songs!
Looks like you cleaned this one up pretty good! I may or may not have made a 10 part instructional video about how sideman works: th-cam.com/play/PLx84GrvFbmLMFhWtudalQ_j7KHH9bccb6.html I have two now. One that was built in Germany before Wurlitzer moved to USA and one from the US. The german one is a lot better built but I love them both anyway!!!
Rhythmate was not commercially produced and used tape loops of recordings of drums - an important distinction. This unit is completely tube based and uses no tape. Many people argue over which one counts as the first.
this one uses a literal loop of a circuit board a an important similarity ;) tube vs tape vs sample have no distinction over what makes something a drum machine. If you are defining the importance of it not being a loop to be a drum machine then you have to go all the way to the first programable one. also a source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_machine none the less this is a great video but its not the first drum machine.
I think he was referring to the fact that the tapes contained recordings of drum sounds from an external source, while this one is generates the drum sounds through its circuitry.
yes thats exactly what they are saying but a drum machine can have recorded/sampled drums. I do not think the distinction of this one synthesizing sounds that sounds makes this a drum machine and the other not. The both functions as a music box would. Circuitry spinning = tape spining.
God bless black fridays, purchased!
Are there some songs with this machine from the early 60s? That thing sounds quite sophisticated for 1959.
all of them and every single one of them
Raymond Scott, Delia Derbyshire, Bruce Haack not sure if they used this but it sounds like they used drum machines on their 60s techno work
My father was one of the people who helped develop this machine. He worked at the Wurlitzer location in DeKalb, IL.
That's awesome!!
This is absolutely mesmerizing. What a fantastic video. Thanks for making this.
This video is gorgeous! What a great bloopy drum machine!
thank you!

It is heart of glass you're right.
brilliant, youtube is a winner this morning
Fantastic video, going deeply into the machine! Wonderful sounds! Thanks!
Just seen this on TikTok amazing
Came from IG ad, very cool!
Louis-Alex thanks!
Essentially a complex music box
Alan Vega - Martin Rev
Sounds just like the first album from Suicide .
i had a smile while watchin this cid! thank uuuuuu!
25 years ago in a salvation army didn't have the money but I played it man I wish I had bought it
Very well edited.
Fantastic video!!! Thank you!!!
So beautiful! So Amazing, Thanks for your hard work of
This is great! Pure history
That thing is insane. Looks like an experiment by Emmett Brown
This is so amazing! Thanks so much for sharing it!!! :)
Woooohooo, I'm the 808'th to like this video! (and I do like it)
This is cool.

Definitely a machine
That sounds lovely. Sample pack???
Found it 😁

I watched your videos like 100 times!!! So great. Very informative.
Wot .. no 'disco' setting :)
You have to hand crank it to start it.
*seems like this was used for a Gorillaz song, Souk Eye, from The Now Now.*
Wo_____________oW
too much latency . lower the buffer some
Not really sure what you're talking about.
I get it. It's a drum sample joke.
dammit. I'm a drummer, I don't get jokes...
@@circlesdrumsamples8035 LOL
You misspelled "laid"
Meshuggah Bleed 0:32
lol I searched the comments to see if anybody else made this exact comment, I was not disappointed!
@@TorinDundas Same here.. I was surprised I was first
Midi? 😁
This is what Thes One used to destroy Will at DJ Dusk's SoundClash.
q sarpado
nuts
Bizar.
I swear I smelled ozone watching this.
It sounds awful but I like the tech behind it
This is not the worlds first drum machine. Chamberlin Rhythmate is!
You could also debate the Rhythmicon being the first.
