The topmost machine is a Roland Bass Line drum machine. A box of records is to his right, with an Afrika Bambaata record sleeve pulled out at an angle. He is wearing a light colored long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows with a black vest, jeans, a necklace, and a bracelet on each wrist.
