A lasting legacy into the heartbeat of music history
Like the Oberheim DMX drum machine, the original Linn hardware has left an indelible mark on the soundscape of popular music, crafting the rhythmic foundation of timeless tracks across a spectrum of genres.
From the unmistakable pulse of Prince’s “1999” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to the iconic beat driving The Human League’s “Fascination”, the LinnDrum defined an era. Its rhythms laid the foundation for a-ha’s “Take On Me,” Madonna’s “Lucky Star,” and Billy Idol’s “Eyes Without a Face,” shaping the unmistakable sound of the ’80s. Even Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” and Stevie Nicks’ “Stand Back” owe their groove to this iconic drum machine.
We’ve included all the original sounds, maintaining their unique character that propelled these classic tracks. The IconDrum also offers many alternatives, expanding the classic sound set to inspire both nostalgic recreations and fresh, innovative productions.
Revisiting the past, redefining the future
The IconDrum is more than just a drum module; it’s a tribute to the machine that defined an era and a gateway to the rhythms of tomorrow.
