Those distinctive drums and percussion you hear in things like the Miami Vice theme were Synsonic drums which was a brand of electronic computer drums that was the first to come out. They began to be featured everywhere in all kinds of popular music. The irony is.... They were a toy by Mattel - Upgoat

It's basically the way everybody makes music today.

Not with synsonic's but with the things that followed in that path. Basically sequenced samples.

I lived in a group home for a year as a teenager and the niggers in the house had those beat machines and they’d spend all day disturbing the peace by making their own rap garbage. Circa 1986.

Music has been created out of people toying around with random objects forever. This isn't shocking, surprising, or out of the norm.

And they've always sounded like shit. Electronic drum kits are trash. Toys, like you said.

Wow i had no idea about these. Always thought it was basically a Roland TR808 being used for all these type sounds.
