Today, Erica Synths has introduced Bass Drum 2, a new analog bass drum Eurorack module, developed in collaboration with French company e-licktronic.
The module builds on the 909 bass drum design. The new mk2 version is more than just a 909 kick clone.
The developers note that, by modulating the gate length, you can create unconventional Bass Drum patterns.

Bass Drum 2 Features:
- Pitch, Tune, Tune Depth controls
- Attack, Decay, Drive controls
- CV control with attenuators over Pitch, Decay and Drive
- Manual trigger
- Accent for better expression
- Audio output level: -5…+5V
- CV level (full span): -5V – +5V
- Trigger level: 5V
- Trigger time: 1ms
- Power consumption: +40mA, -30mA
- Module width: 14HP
- Module depth: 35mm
The Latvian synth maker has added a new Gate mode that allows the module to react to gated signals to produce sustained drum sounds.
Combined with the Trigger function you can patch in a modulation source, such as the gate outputs of a sequencer, to create unique kick patterns.
The module still retains the big punchy characteristics that you’d expect from a 909 and CV control over Pitch, Decay and Drive of the original.
The Erica Synths Bass Drum 2 is available now, priced at €230/ $279 from Erica Synths shop.
