ROM royalties

i noticed that some drum machines actually use ROM samples
instead of synthesizing the sounds like a civilized machine
would. who plays the drums sounds for these machines? how
much do you think they make in royalties?

i am thinking of a future career as a drum sample artist. i
will hit the drum with a stick and make millions. my drums
will be heard round the earth.

Good point. Makes me think that there might also be
royalties on the comedy punchline rimshot. I see a lawsuit
coming up.

the samples are made by edna rosenthop of warwick, R.I.

she bakes them in her kitchen and gives them to yamaha for
free because yamaha shovels her driveway in the winter and
mows her lawn in the summer.

Maybe in the late 90s you could make some dough making drum
samples for Photek.

vaguely remember reading about how someone at sequential
went over to korg/roland/yamaha or something and got the
ball rolling on this stuff after he noticed companies were
nicking each others' noises. could have that completely
jumbled though....
