A Brief History Of Electronic Drums (1960's to 2000's)

As the title says, this video is a brief history of electronic drums.
This video is about the birth of electronic drums (no drum machines here but playable instruments). It started in the 60's.
Drum machines are an other story, as first experimentations happened in 1897 !! Although those are very far from the modern concept of drum machine.

Here, again, we talk about instruments meant to be played in live by a musician.
I may have omitted to mention some
models/releases/steps/innovations/brands, but I couldn't mention everything.
I wanted to make a short video, but I quickly realised that it would be practically be impossible to make something shorter than 15 min.
