This is the most comprehensive review of this product. Boss should pay you some commission :) I've been on the fence to purchase this product for months because I couldbn't find a review that "sold" me on it. Here I go, spenidng another $300+ (That'd be including the pedal) Thanks!
Awesome! I really do appreciate the demo because I recently purchased the Boss DR-01S Drum Machine and I'm loving it so far. Thanks. Also I'm going to purchase a BOSS FS-7 Dual Footswitch. Thanks.
We appreciate the comment and for subscribing! Thanks!
Good video man
As a solo acoustic/electric performer who sings, I love the sound choices and combinations possible on this! I really want to buy and use it live, but having to fumble with the unit for various things is a no-go that breaks the flow for the audience. Only 2 functions switchable by foot leaves too many necessary functions for changing on the unit. Ideally, there should be a companion multiswitch for preset changing, tap tempo, start/stop, pause, user-selectable (as chosen for each favorite) hit sound and even add/take away alternate sound. Then it would be truly usable on stage.
Thanks for the comment Scott and for subscribing to our channel! I've been 'barking up the tree' of Boss making a footswitch-able rhythm machine, the same way they made the VE-8 which is essentially the pedal form of the acoustic singer pro amp. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!
Best review on this yet
Aww thanks man! I appreciate the nice words. Thanks for subscribing to the channel!
Robby the Robot! Nice. 1st sci-fi movie I saw as a 7 yr old when it came out in the fifties. Scared the daylight out of me. Traumatized for a week.
I love classic Sci Fi!
Not 40s, 60s. I have one of these and it is wonderful for any kind of an acoustic gig and just playing with ideas at home. Great presentation, I subscribed!
Thanks Frank! Share our channel with others you think may dig it!
What do you use for a stand firing
bought it, thanks
Cool! Hopefully you snagged it from Main Stage Music.com! Thanks for subscribing to the channel!
nothing wrong with the C, F, G jam. Great Vid and information. Thank you
Thanks man! Be sure and subscribe to the channel...I do several Livestreams a month and would love your feedback!
Great little EASY machine!! I use this out gigging. Cant play without it now.
What do you use for a stand for it live?
@@bradgarnermusic I'm not real fancy. I have a nice looking fold up like tv tray stand . Works out well I put DR and song list and a few other goodies on it. They should make a stand for it though. I figured they would of came out with a DR 2 by now
I gotta have one
Thanks for the comment and for subscribing! We have these in stock at Main Stage Music.com where you can even use afterpay to split the payments into 4!
Thanks for the great video. I have been looking for a drum machine such as the one you demonstrated. I have an Alesis S-16 but I find there are not enough usable presets. I do not want to get into programming a drum machine... So my question is how many preset rhythms are in this machine. I cannot seem to find the answer by googling. I only need basic country, folk and classic rock styles and my S-16 does not even have a waltz beat.
Cool hat 🤓👍
P.S. I’d propose a Boss FS-6 footswitch over the FS-7. Also runs on batteries, and the side-by-side switches are easy to hit.
Hi! Thx for the great demo! Question; I know nothing about these electronics, but would like to buy one with the foot pedal for a friend of mine who I know would love it. Can you tell me exactly what kind of cord I need to purchase to connect the foot pedal to the DR-01S? Looking for a 10 footer.
Sure! We can help you get everything you need at Mainstagemusic.com! Reach out and we will get your order put together for you
Thank you. Great job! Please tell me what is that first song you started to video
It was a sloppy interpretation of an old eagles tune called "best of my love".
Great Review.
Great review! Thank you for sharing!
Robby the Robot approved!
Thanks a lot for introducing :-) Question: Is there also the possibillity to play walz or 6/8?
Wow…what is that brown wooden box like speaker…. It’s so cool…is it an amplifier….
Its an old console radio that I converted to run on bluetooth! It is really cool isnt it?! I love the old timey style
@@MainStageMusicTV yes it fabulous…please make a video on it ….
Can custom rhythms be programmed? I can see that it allows you to flag certain rhythms as favourites, but I am assuming that these are just favourites of *pre-programmed rhythms only*. Is that correct?
Howdy! Thanks for the great comment and also for subscribing to the channel. As you can see, there isnt a multi function pad to tap in custom beats like the drum machines olf yesteryear had, so as far as custom rhythms I havent seen a place to do that. I also havent seen any place to import rhythms from a remote source. The rhythms that are on this are fairly standard, popular rhythms that work for most folks though. If you need something that does offer custom rhythms we also sell a rhythm machine by Korg called the KR-55 you may like.
I just got my rhythm partner and LOVE it. I would be great fun if you could recommend some drum patterns for calypso, country, rock….. I find it hard to match a pattern to a song. Do you know of any lists of drum patterns? Thanks in advance for your help.

Im not personally aware of any lists, but perhaps someone here can chime in. Thanks for subscribing to the channel!
Hi Brad. I have a question regarding the Boss DR-01S. I want to use it live in performance. I have the count-in programmed. I want to have a break (using a footswitch pedal). When I re-enter the rhythm (by footswitch) the count-in comes on again. I don't want this, I just just want the rhythm to resume.
Great question! The problem, obviously, is that t he machine cant read your mind. If you have the 'count in' programmed in when started, then it will do exactly that. What you would like is more of a 'pause' button versus a 'stop'. Thats a feature that the guys at boss likely wouldnt do...but a work around may be to have an AB switch inline with the output to your PA. That way, when triggered, it would effectively mute the drum machine signal. pressing it again would then unmute it. Not a perfect solution, but its worth a try. Thanks for watching! Hope you follow our channel! We have all sorts of cool content planned. Stay tuned!
@@MainStageMusicTV Thank you so much for your swift reply. I'll try that. Best wishes, Jon.
@@folkorchestraukuleleoxford6374 I use a volume pedal inbetween the DR and my PA. You can lower the beat at times and turn it off.
@@cameroncook3863 Thanks for this. Actually, I'm not sure this would work.
Is there a country train beat?
Is there a newer version coming soon ?
Would be nice, also when it has fill ins and endings, that it doesn't end abruptly
Got one yu can operate with my foot, control b p m etc
How do yu operate that while playing guitar, if yu want to speed up or slow down ?
Thats a great question. Most people donnt change the tempo or time signature in the middle of a song, so the engineers who designed this didnt provide a feature to do that 'hands free'
A lot of guitar players besides me, start slow the speed up, but regardless, very distracting fiddling with knobs and buttons while concentrating on singing and playing, maybe i need to invent my own pedal
@@jandeband Innovation usually starts when someone cant find a product that fits their unique needs! This unit, with its built in speaker and so on, it likely designed more with the Home player in mind. Roland does make some cool other drum machines and arrangers that are much more feature packed and offer more footswitchable options
@@MainStageMusicTV im not interested in a lot of features, just simple rythm, control tempo with my foot , if yu hear of anything, let me know, thanks
This was not said, but you can assign tempo change (up/down) to the foot switch. Also note that if you create favorites, each favorite also saves the tempo along with the rhythm pattern!
Does it have fill in and are there preset drum kits ?
There is no "fill" function. There are 50 presets that include all 7 instruments in the FAVORITES folder., They are editable and savable.
to much to much talking.................what about sheet music notes reading ?
Thanks for your comment! Sorry about 'talking too much for your tastes....but these livestreams have to explain to the viewers what we are discussing and allow room for them to comment during the show. I'm not sure how to answer your question about reading sheet music...this drum machine doesnt have any functions that read music so far as I can tell. Thanks for subscribing!
