Classic! my SR-55 had a bit too much earth hum as well... Speaking of Suicide they also used an old SEEBURG drum machine from 1964, which I happen to own. ( first patented drum machine) Similar to a Maestro Rhythm King and a Roland TR-77...
"this unit is malfunctioning right now" AND "working units more than 40 years old....it won't be working in 6 months time...placing a lot of stress on the components". LOVE your commentary. Nice voice too.
+Steven Streight oh its well worth 10bux! some like the commentary others think its totally unprofessional. these people probably still live at home with momma. the unit does actually have a very nice clean sound as you can hear in the track at the end...especially the kick drum. anyways...thanks for the comment and good luck in your search.
2:18 It's Spanish, it's a Quijada, pronounced key-ha-da. It's from Latin America, where it's also known as Quijada de Burro. What does Quijada de Burro translate to in english? Donkey's Jawbone. A Quijada is literally just a donkey's jawbone. Removed of flesh & muscle, with the teeth still inside, left to dry, then cleaned. It's used as a percussion instrument. The jawbone combined with the now loose teeth makes an interesting sound with a rattly finish. Needless to say, it sounds NOTHING like the Minipops Quijada. The Minipops Quijada always reminded me of ping pong balls personally. Sound 2 is a güiro, I'm less sure of how it's pronounced; either we-row or gwe-row. You've probably seen it before, it's very common at multi-culture events and the like. Again, from Latin America, it's a hollowed out gord with notches cut on the side that you drag a stick against to make a ratchet-esque sound. This sound is the closest anything on here sounds like the real instrument. The final sound is a tambourine, which I really don't think I need to explain, it's a tambourine. This is the most unrealistic of the lot, by far.
ThisIsAEnigma erm yes. the quijada thang is the one that sort of sets me off. its pretty easy to duplicate yet somehow its the wierd unity of the sounds combined that make it such a usefull box considering its age.
I actually used to hate that sound a lot, but now it's probably my favorite sound from all those seventies rhythm boxes. It's just so goofy sounding but it can still work some pretty serious stuff (ala Suicide). It sounds unique & strange enough to give it attention.

I like your reviews, but don't understand why you use a filter black/white..? Now we can't see the machine good enough!
