I think that there is a market for a deceently priced modular drum synth. 
Pick the best of all worlds and not having to focus on VCO stability. Sell 
frames and add-ons. THe technokids with daddys wallet would love it I bet.

909 bass
808 snare
606 hihats
claptrap clap
Synare effects
SDS-3 channels
Minipops 7 guiro
etc
