My Very Used Kawai R-50 (Presets)

One of my all time favorite drum machines. I own two nicknamed Oskar & Felix. One is an R-50 the other an R-50e. I had purchased a sound chip and installed it in Oskar (his name comes from The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass- Felix is from The Odd Couple...two Oskars!) so he sounds a little different than a regular R-50. These machines were a major part of the early Kill Switch...Klick sound. These are the preset rhythms from the machine. D.A. Sebasstian ©2009 Go-Kustom

I bought this back in 1988, with a "Kawai K3". What a pair!!! I produced hundreds of songs with just the two and/or bass and guitar. Both are still in my setup even though I have newer (not, never better) gear. They were my first babies, I love them more... Kawai thank you for producing the true loves of my life.

I have the standard version of the R-50 (used it for several years, now mostly replaced by my Roland SP-606). The sounds of the "e"-version are a bit better in my opinion (more Simmons-like). There is also a very rare "Mk III" version of this machine. It combines the sounds of the two other machines and in addition it has 24 orchestral drum sounds. The preset patterns of the R-50 contain some famous beats, like "Don't you want me" from Human League and "True Blue" from Madonna.
