According to blog MusicThing, last week Coldplay’s old drum machine was being sold online in an eBay auction was being held as part of a “studio clearance.” The EMU SP1200 “with Kid Nepro samples” was finally sold for £740.00 GBP ($1,474.50 USD). Perhaps the lack of an EMU SP1200 will be that magical “something different” the band described to Rolling Stone while recording their new album.

 

Oh what secrets this little drum machine could tell. If this electronic beat maker could talk, what do you think it would it say?
