The same guy also seems to have written a paper about modelling the 808
cowbell sound here:

The analysis isn't quite as rigorous as in the other two papers, but it's
still worth a read for anyone interested in VA modelling techniques.
I remember some guys at a Synth DIY meet in Cambridge asking me how the 808
cowbell sound was made, and why it sounded so peculiar! They had a giant
modular synth with them, and we managed to get quite close to the sound
after about 5 minutes of tinkering with a couple of oscillators, a band-pass
filter, VCA and envelope generator.
