[JTKnowsMusic]

The Roland TR 808 is Music! I wonder just how many songs were made with this machine?

[beatmania3rdmix]

@JTKnowsMusic It's still used extensively nowadays, just the sounds are extremely distorted ;)

[TheTofuGod]

my alligator likes listening to this im going to subscribe to his twitter

[Intosia]

Is that tablemount version of the 808 in the picture? Custom?

[templewave]

写真のやつ、ダイヤルとツマミが無いじゃん、

[defcreator]

my frog always begins to jump of joy to the beat when the 808 starts pumpin

[MinimalZOMBEE]

I need to play one of these before I die.

It sounds so amazing and fresh!!

[zaxswyre2]

@SynthWho theres a lot of emulators for computers out there. I know on mac if you get Ugly VSTi and then download Nepheton VST demo you can try it for free.

[intromix]

Well SAID!

[lavakava]

[FunkyVinylJunkie]

makes me want to start popping

[intromix]

Real nice "thuggish sound beat" use of the 808 bro-I own one as well and there is no limit with this monster, the ultimate musician's tool!

[pannoni1]

I miss the '80s.

[snolan1990]

that cowbell sound is so recognizable

I have and MC-303 that can realy quite well reproduce the sounds of the 808, 909 and 606 but the way Roland set it out means you cant play around with it like you could a real 808, 909 or 606

[ShayDirect]

takin me back to 82 lol..i was jus being born....real fresh.

[YEE941]

these is dope as hell

I might get an mc808

[mzsinger13]

i seroiusly thought that an 808 was a bomb or something cause every song i've heard it in describes the 808 as a boom sound, so the first thing i thought was bomb.

[MarcG1986]

Let me guess..."Boom like an 808" by TLC?

[mzsinger13]

yeah, but that was by blaque, not TLC

[MarcG1986]

Ah, yes. My bad...I hardly pay any attention to pop.

[mzsinger13]

lol, its r&b.

[MarcG1986]

When I said pop I meant popular music. As far as I'm concerned, pop just means it's in the Top 20.

[mzsinger13]

oh, ok.

[PHAEDRIDER]

you were right..

[mzsinger13]

lol, i know, but dnt tell MarkG1986 shh........ (lol)

[lukorax]

nice instrument!
