Featured at the end of this August 19, 2016 HOT 97 interview. There is a performance at 51:06 and an overview of its history at 52:21. It was notably used on "Flash to the Beat", as featured in this May 5, 2020 Reverb.com article.

What it was is, we was very competitive back then. So, we four, whether it was Breakout, or whether it was Herc, or whether it was Bam, or whether it was Flash, we always tried to come up with either that great beat, eBro, or just something innovative. So, there was this guy who lived in the Jackson Projects on 149th Street in Jackson Avenue, he was a drummer and he used to use this to practice with and I always stayed in touch with him. I said "If you ever wanted to get rid of it, I will buy it off you." The time came and he says "Flash, it's for sale" and I paid 150 dollars for it. You know, I've had this inside of a bank vault at Chase for probably a good 30 years. I'm very careful with it. I'm extremely careful with it.
