BASTL InstrumentsTea Kick Analog Drum (Aluminum)

BASTL TEA KICK

The Tea Kick is an analog drum module by Bastl Instruments. The module takes inspiration from the Twin T Resonant Structure, which was itself inspired by Standa Filip’s circuitry. Think of the circuit as an electronic membrane that resonates uniquely when activated by one-dimensional harmonics. When the circuit is hit with electricity, the amount of decay is wholly dependent on its own resonance. The module’s tune control alters the emphasized frequency, while the resonance control dictates the length—higher resonances equal longer drum sounds, all the way up to self-oscillation. The module also features a handy square wave output for use in utility applications.

This version of the Tea Kick features an ALUMINUM faceplate.
