The Mattel Synsonics Drums, introduced in the early 1980s, is a vintage electronic drum machine that offers a unique blend of playability and programmability. Key features include:

  • Four velocity-sensitive drum pads: the unit features four rubber pads assigned to snare drum, high tom, cymbal, and low tom sounds, each responding to the dynamics of your playing.
  • Sound customization: Tom 1 is tunable over a range of five octaves, allowing for a variety of tonal possibilities.
  • Programmable sequencer : the Synsonics allows users to sequence, record and store up to three separate 16-beat patterns, facilitating the creation of custom rhythms.
  • Built-in metronome and tempo control: a metronome function aids in keeping time, while tempo controls enable adjustment of playback speed to match different musical contexts.
  • Connectivity options: equipped with a stereo headphone jack and stereo output jacks, the Synsonics can be connected to external amplification systems or recording equipment.

This drum machine is celebrated for its distinctive electronic sounds and remains a sought-after piece for collectors and musicians interested in vintage gear.
