Bullfrog Drums
Erica Synths
The Bullfrog Drums is a versatile instrument – a drum machine, sampler, CV/gate sequencer – all optimized for a learning path in drum programming, sampling techniques, working with samples and integrating into various performance setups.
Because it has sample-based voices, this instrument is not limited to percussion sounds – samples can made of be any sound from an abstract noise, a chord stab to drones and beyond. The Bullfrog Drums has a hands-on interface built into a signature Erica Synths aluminium enclosure and will feel intuitive to use in any setup, whether in the studio or on stage.
