* Need help finding really old clip...

Archived from groups: cakewalk.general,rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi,

I'm trying to track down a short video clip a friend recently forwarded to
me by email as a joke (I deleted it too quickly, and so did he). It features
a Japanese guy with a thick accent but speaking in English showing off the
features of a really old keyboard - must be from the 80's or something,
possibly a Roland.

The person in the video seems to be somekind of salesman or spokesperson for
the keyboard, and starts demonstrating its capabilities by showing us the
very fake sounding kick drum sound, then the snare, the hi-hat, etc.. and
after going through all the sounds, starts playing a very off-tempo but
typical 4/4 rock beat, with a look of utter amazement and awe on his face,
like we were witnessing the creation of man himself.

It's a hilarious clip shot in plain video, obviously meant to be somekind of
demo for a pretty old keyboard.

That's all the info I have. I have no idea what keyboard it is, or how old
the clip is. But I'd really love to find this clip again, if anyone can help
me do that.

Thanks a million!

The Prodikeys isn't that old, is it?

I actually though he played it rather well :-) You try inputting a
drum beat in real time. Not that easy.

Do a Google on keyboard-drums.wmv. That video is everywhere.
