Joost Luub wanted to make a modern kind of barrel organ, and during his research he encountered a typical aspect of the barrel organ-niche: the men that exploit barrel organs in the streets have no sense of rhythm at all. Luub, who is a drummer in the up-and-coming band Wooden Constructions, got really annoyed by the a-rhythmic percussion with money-trays. So he designed a Barrel Organ Drum Machine, and together with a barrel organ builder he actually built it. The machine operates on cardboard books and plays all kinds of rhythms — Luub prefers the hip-hop version.
