The LinnDrum is an iconic 1980s drum machine renowned for its punchy, perfectly sampled acoustic drum sounds that helped define the sound of countless hit records by artists ranging from Prince to Michael Jackson. With its instantly recognizable kicks, snares, cymbals, and signature groove, it remains one of the most desirable vintage drum machines ever made and a timeless studio classic.

Here's a video of the LinnDrum that is for sale: <Reverb doesn't allow links, the video will appear at the end of the picture list>
