Sequential Circuits Tom

The Sequential Circuits Tom drum machine is a vintage 4-voice digital drum machine, released in 1985.

Tom includes 8 basic drum kit sounds: kick, snare, 2 toms, open / closed hat, clap and crash. The Sequential Circuits Tom had an interesting feature for an early drum machine; each sound could be dynamically allocated between the voices, so you could even use 4 copies of the same sound simultaneously.

Other features include the ability to play the sounds backwards, MIDI controllable parameters and support for sound cartridges, which lets you add 7 additional samples.
