The Prince LinnDrum Sound with Acoustic Drums

It's known that Prince's favorite 1980s Linn Electronics machine was the first-generation LM-1, which made its way onto several of his biggest hits. More sparingly, he used the second generation LinnDrum, which you can hear on 1986's "Kiss." Today, we wanted to see if we could recreate the LinnDrum sound from that song the hard way, with no LinnDrum or electronic drums of any kind—only using acoustic drums and processors.
