The Pearl Syncussion SY-1 is an extremely rare analogue drum synthesizer originally manufactured in 1979 by Pearl Musical Instruments.

This freaky little box is capable of producing a huge palette of percussive sounds, powerful kicks and experimental sound effects which carry a vintage sound inherent to its unique drum synthesis methods and extremely raw sounding oscillators.

Now you can get inspired again by the vintage electronic drum samples combined with up-to-the-minute processed drum hits, whatever style or genre of music you produce. The sample pack includes:

• 1885 24-bit 100% royalty free electronic drum hits!
