The Maestro Rhythm King is an analog drum machine popularized by groups such as Sly and the Family Stone in the 1960s and early 1970s. These machines had over fifteen preprogrammed rhythms, such as Bossa Nova, Samba and Cha-Cha. Eight sound trigger buttons on the front demanded careful planning of sampling and fills. 

The Mark I offered a different array of preprogrammed settings from the 1970s Mark II edition.

Years of Production: ca. mid-1960s - 1970
