Akai Professional Tom Cat Drum Machine

The Akai Pro Tom Cat is a powerful analog drum machine that delivers raw, punchy sounds with a distinctly vintage vibe. Featuring five analog drum voices—including kick, snare, and toms—the Tom Cat allows users to shape each sound with onboard tuning, envelope, and distortion controls for a fully customizable rhythmic experience. Equipped with classic MPC-style pads and a dynamic 32-step sequencer, it’s perfect for creating everything from gritty, hard-hitting beats to tight, precise rhythms. With its rugged design and hands-on controls, the Tom Cat is built for producers who crave the warmth of analog sound combined with the flexibility of modern beat-making tools.
