All-Analog Percussion Synth

The Drummer From Another Mother is Moog's highly interactive semi-modular percussion synthesizer with an all-analog sound and a vibrant deviation from the traditional drum machine model.  As part of Moog's semi-modular synthesizer series, the DFAM share some striking similarities to the Mother-32, as you can start crafting sounds straight away, or breakout of the box using the included patchbay to expand your sound-shaping options. The Drummer From Another Mother presents a uniquely expressive hands-on approach to percussive pattern creation, invoking a deeply personal bond between creator and creation.

Plug Into Inspiration

Emphasizing tactile exploration and experimentation, DFAM inspires completely new and unique manners with which visceral rhythms can be synthesized, expressed and experienced. DFAM effortlessly moves from gently evolving undulations and cyclical breathing patterns to hammering bass and clangorous cacophony, but the true beauty of this unique instrument lies in its ability to continuously spark inspiration through the repeated discovery of new and dynamic perspectives in percussive synthesis.
