Thats a sexy shirt.

[ToResp0ndC0mm3nt]

how did i end up here from oranges

?

[MrNocaster1]

I got a DR880. My question is, how would you program something like Wipeout into one of the user patches?

[ShredMetalRoman]

this looks like the 1980s, awsome

[mettttal]

check out a song called "Decimator" on my channel to hear the DR 880 in a full heavy rock song mix.

[asturel13]

this is crap, mine broke down after only a few months of light use. AVOID!!!

[TormentLeavesScars01]

Does this have a setting on it so I can literally write a song? In other words, if I wanted to start with a slow intro (Metallica's "Battery," for example...) and build into something fast, can I do that, or would I have to push buttons before the drum beat would change?

[andrew3327820]

I guess I can edit a user kit and customize all the drums and stuff?

[Zhorellski]

Interested on buying this drum machine BUT it's an old model ('04) any new model coming from Roland/Boss?

[weaselidiotu]

dont know about the drum machine but that shirt is dope ! want one NOW !

[andrew3327820]

Is this any good for drum and bass - heavy metal music?
