Erica Synths / Bullfrog Drums

Bullfrog Drums is a versatile instrument that can be used as a drum machine, sampler, and CV/Gate sequencer. It is designed to let you learn and practice drum programming, sampling techniques, sound design using samples, and integration into various performance setups.

Because it uses sample-based voices, it isn’t limited to percussion sounds. You can use any sound as source material, including abstract noise, chord stabs, and drones.

Bullfrog Drums features Erica Synths’ signature aluminum chassis and an intuitive, hands-on interface. Whether in the studio or on stage, it’s an instrument that’s easy to incorporate into your production or performance right away.
