LinnDrum

The LinnDrum, also often incorrectly referred to as the LM-2,[1] is a drum machine manufactured by Linn Electronics between 1982 and 1985.

[2][3] The LinnDrum was designed by the American engineer Roger Linn.

[4] It was cheaper and more widely produced than his first drum machine, the Linn LM-1, which had been affordable only to wealthy musicians and studios.

[3] It was used by artists and producers including Trevor Horn,[7] Stock Aitken Waterman,[8] Sandy Vee,[9] Justin Hayward,[10] and Michael Jackson.

[11] When Linn Electronics closed in 1986, Forat Electronics purchased its assets and offered service, sounds, and modifications for the LinnDrum.
