Let's talk about the drum production on SYNTHESIS. Everyone talks about the synths, but the drums drive the record.

Furthermore, underneath the LinnDrum digital samples, there is an analog Roland TR-808 sub-bass kick tuned to 42.6 Hz (exactly 3x 14.2 Hz).
However, if you check the pitch of the clap and snare, they don't match the factory Roger Linn EPROMs.

The 808 sub-kick locking with the 14.2 Hz carrier is pure engineering genius.

Nothing beats real acoustic drums. Synthesized drums sound dated the moment the decade ends.
