Late 70's early 80's very simple drum machine pedal ident help

I have very vague memories of the guitarist in the first (very very poor) band I played in having some sort of very rudimentary drum machine in a pedal format (I think).
I don't think it was programable and maybe had a few built in rhythms but I think you could change the speed. It had that very classic synth drum sound with the high hat like a fizzy tambourine maybe sounding a bit like the Roland CR-78. I seem to remember it being black and or green? It wouldn't have been expensive.

Anyway, I'm just trying to confirm I do have a viable memory still and I'm not completely in fantasy world yet. Does anyone have any idea what it may have been? :)

There is at least one other drum machine in the same format but with different branding but IIRC it has exactly the same patterns and sounds. Lots of pre-set drum machine from the late 70s and early 80s do this.

There were also 2 Electro Harmonix models - the DRM16 and DRM32 which came in the standard "big Pedal" EHX format. These were quite widely used by fairly well-know bands including early Cabaret Voltaire and Simple Minds.
