Casio RapMan Drum Machine
« on: December 28, 2009, 09:02:13 AM »

Anyone have any info on the Casio RAP-10 Drum Machine? This was released a short time after the RAP-1 keyboard and was a drum machine that you strapped around your hip with a belt.  As far as I know, it is extremely rare and isn't something you would find on eBay, that's for certain.  This thing would sell for a small fortune should an example find it's way into the public domain.

Here's a pic:



And another:



Anyone seen one of these in a store, on eBay, for sale... etc?  I'm really curious about it.

I'm assuming this is another one of Casio's 'holy grails' along with the DM-100 and VA-10.  There is virtually no information about the RapMan Drum Machine on the internet.

Only 15 Euros?  That's probably because German eBay listings are excluded from US, UK and Australian searches and that auction would have gone largely unnoticed by most of Europe and the western world.  I bet that if one of these went up for auction on US, UK or Australian eBay... it would fetch well over a hundred dollars and there would be at least over a dozen bidders wanting to get their hands on one!

Well... let me relieve you of your apparent lack of interest in the RAP-10 by offering you twenty pounds to part with it. I mean, we can't have a cheap, worthless toy just laying there gathering dust, now can we?  Especially when it's in the hands of a disinterested and apparently, quite dismissive owner... don't you agree? ;)
