Kraftwerk definitely invented the first electronic drumkit. They have worked on serveral sequencing / synchronizing devices especially in co-operation with Doepfer company like the "MAQ 16/3" or "Schaltwerk". Florian Schneider is the co-inventor of the "Robovox" - realtime-speech-generator..etc.But more important than their hardware inventions are Kraftwerk`s musical innovations.

I `see` here a fragrance of (kind of) neo-constructivism slightly in the spirit of "Bauhaus", which was one of the most interesting art-phenomena of the 20th century and is still somehow ahead of it`s time. Of the outmost importance are the electric drums, invented and developed by Karl Bartos, in the music of Kraftwerk. The do not serve solely as rhythm-beats but also AS sounds saving thus time, crystallizing seamless purity and bringing forth the essential theme economically in the music.

What idiot has "thumbs downed" aceyage's comment?Their first part is 100% correct, the second almost certainly so."From station to station back to Dusseldorf City. Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie" I love them two lines, whoever said German's have no sense of homour? Still makes me smile 20 years after I first heard it.

Neither the Vocoder nor the Moog Synthesizer were invented by Kraftwerk.If anything Kraftwerk invented the first playable electronic drum kit.
