This is the probably the cleanest 808 out there.

Man, you take good care of your stuff!

[williamprestwich]

The condition of your 808 is quite amazing

[abemartin]

this thing was so advanced in the 80's and tbh it still kind of is now.

The Roland TR 808 has the best "rhythm" out of all the drum machines ever produced...and that's why it's still popular today.

[bobbyragolia]

Thank god for the 808, this machine should def be in the rock and roll hall of fame

RIP, Ikutaro Kakehashi-san.

His TR-808 invention (and other inventions) revolutionized popular music and popular culture as we know it.

Back in the day people in my circle (Jazz/Fusion/Prog Rock) laughed at these things. Its amazing to see the price these things go for these days, and the records they ended up on!

[SerialGothQueens]

The machine that made 80s new wave AND hip hop.

[atraktmillyonzmusic]

Can't Believe this thing is still $4000!

[retrosound]

I finally broke down and bought mine. I just love the sounds of this machine. It's an amazing piece of history. I can't wait to make some music with it. :) Great video as always! :)

Even Roland brought this back with the TR-8. And it (my father's) absolutely SLAPS

Classic Drum Sounds. I Love this Unit. If you want to " Really Hear It " - Listen to the SOS Band ( produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis ) Tracks: Tell me if you still care, No ones gonna love you, Just be good to me ( among many others ). I Never get tired of these drum sounds. I have had a Roland TR-707, Akai MPC, Alesis HR-16 ( now have the Roland DR-880 ) - with Many of the Old TR-808 Sounds.

This Machine was used in the production of alot of the S.O.S Band's albums.

Still used on 90% of hip hop beats today
