The Bela band

That's Roy "Futureman" Wooten with his Drumitar. It's an early homemade midi trigger device. I saw him use this back in 1990.


Thank you so much! Impressive! I guess that I could look it up, but do others play this?
 
Futureman is playing a SynthAxe he decked out for playing percussions/drums.

This is the same instrument Holdsworth was taken with for a decade or so. It's a synthesizer for guitarists that was seemingly revolutionary, maybe for too much for it's own good. Quite expensive and a somewhat steep learning curve.

Roy's use of it remains the most unique and lasting.
