About Roland TR-08 Boutique Rhythm Composer With 1 Year
Includes 1 Year EverythingMusic Extended Warranty Free. The Legendary Boom and Sizzle of the Most Famous Drum Machine Ever Made - Now in an Affordable and Modern Format The TR-08 is an obsessively detailed and faithful replica of the legendary TR-808 - easily the most famous and influential drum machine ever made. After creating a monumental shift in the sound of music, the "808" has continued to shape and define entire genres. Beloved by musicians and producers the world over, it's one of the most revered and sought-after electronic musical instruments of all time. The TR-08 brings the look, sound, and feel of the original 808 - with stunning accuracy - to the Roland Boutique format. It blends attention to detail and respect for legacy with modern convenience and reliability. The Boom in the Room The TR-808 arrived in 1980 to an unsuspecting and somewhat bewildered public. To many at the time, its purely analog sound and range of tweakable parameters didn't exactly deliver "traditional" drum sounds. It wasn't until adventurous musicians and producers got their hands on the TR-808 and started tweaking those knobs that the world would fully realize the sonic impact it would leave on music forever. For the next three decades, the sizzling hi-hats and snappy snare, the robotic, clicky rim shot, the unmistakable cowbell, and yes, that booming bass drum, would be heard on many thousands of tracks. Worldwide hits, underground classic, and entire genres were spawned. Its influence is so deep that it's been name-dropped in famous tracks, had albums dedicated to it and bands named after it, and even been the subject of a feature-length documentary film.
