Worm gear record playing small percussion, with a mechanical beater also playing the smaller drum in the foreground once per cycle. The drum on the left is hit four times every nine cycles. The one on the right, three times every seven cycles. As such the sequence repeats very infrequently.
This is a longer version of a section from my video of technical developments as part of my recently completed PhD, "Mechanical Techno: extended turntable as live assemblage."
