I love my Rhythmate...In my twenty odd years of drumming I
have never heard a drummer that is so consistently sloppy and care free...Can
you imagine the takes that didn't make it...?
The march especially is wonderful. It sounds like someone
explained to the drummer how a march sounds and then he tried it once
and then abandoned the idea halfway through...
I have started to suspect that it might be harry himself
on a couple of them...

TheaterI've actually had a chance to dig around inside Mattias Olsson's Rhythmate a few years ago when he brought it with him to NEARfest. It wasn't working and so he let me mess around with it. I got it working after a while but I regret not taking photos of the inside of it. It looked like something someone might have built in there garageI thought it was very cool in a "Rube Goldberg" (dating myself) kind of way."-Where's junior?""-He's in that run down outhouse over there, mama.""-That's not an outhouse, that's our sun altar..."Firesign Theater
