What's a good price for a Sequential Circuits Drumtraks?

[NCChao1268]

Hello, I recently found some interest in the Sequential Circuits Drumtraks and was wondering what would be a reasonable price for one as of now? Are these drum machines worth owning? How do they compare to other drum machines such as the Linndrum, DMX, etc?

Thanks

The Drumtraks is a good drum machine for some kinds of music, I believe the songs Madu & Racun and Singkong & Keju use one or an RX11 for the drums (along with DX7, piano, bass guitar, and guitar). The Drumtraks happened to be popular with E and SE Asian and Eastern European productions in the mid 80’s. So if you want to cover stuff like the above 2 songs or some Eastern European (or even other stuff like CC Catch or Brother Louie, it was used a lot in Italo disco in the mid 80’s) pop song, you could use it. The main price I see for them is around $350-400. There’s 2 on eBay, one for $375and one for $790. I think you’ll like it seeing your music you’ve done.

The DrumTraks actually has sounds similar to both LinnDrum and DMX as I demonstrate in this video

No idea what current market rate is. I know LinnDrum machines are fetching around $2k and DMX around $1k-$1500 these days. I recently sold a DX with MIDI for $800.

It's a cool vintage drum machine which has your 80's sample drum sounds, checking around I think I wouldn't pay over $500-600 for one in good condition. But at the rate of increasing prices for vintage gear that might not be the most realistic. It has some cool features like tuning every drum but doesn't have as many sounds as the Linndrum of DMX. But sounds great for many types of music such as 80's, synthwave, Italo disco, etc.

Thanks for the input
