    I bought a Dr-5 in 1999 from a band for $150. I had no idea how to use it, but would use the presets and mute certain instruments to just get the beat. I mean I'm just an MC. I let my next door neighbor come over and use it and surprisingly he was a natural genius on the Dr-5. His brother was a Dj/Producer so I guess just being around him he learned the basics enough to maneuver around the Dr-5. He asked to borrow it and the next thing I know he comes back with instrumentals he composed that sounded nothing like the Dr-5 should be producing. We gathered other local artists and formed the hip-hop group Homegrown in Warner Robins, Ga. My neighbor taught me how to compose on it as well. That little machine started a movement in my city and we recorded cd's and performed at venues from Atlanta to Albany, Ga off the results of this machine. The Dr-5 was our staple peice of equipment up till about 2002, but it served it's purpose. I'm still blown away by how my neighbor used it to make trap beats that sounded as good as trap songs that were staples of the 90's. I still have all our ruff recordings before we mastered and polished. This machine will always be special to me.

  • @eboyvolkihar616

    Ahh the wonderful DR-5. This was used heavily in the memphis rap scene as well as the main workhorse for Lil grimm (children of the corn, graveyard productions) and on a few tommy wright iii mixtapes.
    Very usuable for that early Horrorcore stuff. By putting multiple cowbells or claves across the drum kit, pitching them around, you can make those classic 90s cowbell melodies and make hardware phonk

Creating fun music for them now on inexpensive Bad Gear like this makes perfect sense to me! 😎

    the DR5 internal sounds are today sought out by a few enhusiasts of the 90s memphis underground rap scene and its "cloud rap" children. on the other hand, when it was newer i met multiple people using it as their main sequencer for electro-industrial and aggrotech, and some genuinely cheesy local goth rock made with basically only it + guitar + voice. i wish i still had any/all of those tapes, and i wish i hadm't been so quietly snobby toward the DR5 itself---i don't do guitar but much later on i learned that a fretboard-ish layout can be very handy for getting out of linear horizontal keyboard brain when i've been writng/arranging for more than a short time.
    PS: fabulous demos as always. your lack of fear in using huge boss/alesis/etc ROM drums has always been like finding out about a previously unknown close family member living on the other side of the world

    This review is a grand slam and right up my alley! Back in the 90s, I started one of the largest Boss DR-5 mailing lists and acquired its nearest competitor when the list manager got tired of it!
    It remains the one piece of gear that I will never sell under any circumstances! Even though I bought a Roland Fantom 07 about 6 months ago, I still find myself relying on the vocabulary and terms learned with the DR-5 as it applies to everything Roland.
    My first demo album heavily relied on it and with gear like the Roland SP-404 MKII, the small sizes of such gear plus battery operations makes our creativity limitless. The DR-5 needed the Yamaha MDF3 to store backups and songs onto the 3.5" floppy disks. I have one and even this MDF3 should be added to anyone's arsenal if one can be found.

    After the DR660 popped my sweet 16-bit cherry, the DR5 was a no-brainer for an aspiring jazz guitarist and basement hiphop producer (rappers LOVED the gunshot sample.) I too managed to record my own demo/EP with this, Pocket Sync, a Yamaha MTR, SM58, dbx compressor, ZOOM 9000S, my Mom's upright piano and the DR660. Still, the other kids in my music theory class realized immediately that the best use for this label maker was remixing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme tune.

    i have had one since the late 90s
    as primarily a guitarist,
    this was my intro to both drum machine programming and "midi" instruments
    it was also one of the most unique practice tools i have ever used because i could program in the entire rhythm section to use as backing tracks for my instruction books chord progressions in the Pre-Internet days
    with the headphones and amp sim,
    i never disturbed anyone
    it never got tired, bored, or too drunk to play, lol
    a boss ds1 into the input is glorious (watch the level)
    and it also works well w my old casio mt68 output
    using the "song mode',
    i played a gig once using only this and a digitech vocalist just to see if it would work at a coffee shop
    it was simplistic and minimal but that was part of the "charm" imo
    it was a "music technology" themed gig in early 00s...

    This and the Tr 626 were THE drum machine when I did solo Tiki bar gigs in 90s in my little beach town. I'm a guitarist. It was perfect since most guitarists couldn't program those old Roland's to save their life. Excellent video as always !

    The DR-5 was my first gear box. Had a love/hate relationship with it. It was expensive, around $1,000 US adjusted for inflation, considering what that gets you today. It was a nice portable machine for its time with unique features like battey power, DI & fretboard, but very limited compared to workstation keys then. It sits in my closet now collecting dust.

    What i love about my Dr5 is hooking it up to a ZAQ sequencer modded Behringer bcr2000 and using the 808 bank and just being able to pittch bend all the drum sounds in real time is great fun. Also being a guitarist it takes on a new dimension as a midi controller with Kontakt or any plugin to record midi into a daw.

It's on my watchlist, but I had to get me THAT SNARE first ;) Imagine the level of crap you step into when you combine a DR 660, a DS 330, and the DR 5 in a setup. I'm looking forward to that kind of abomination :)

    Still in the little canvas case I bought for it. Best little drum machine I ever had. Wrote songs and recorded them, working with 2 bands and several individuals, even linked it to a Korg keyboard using its internal sequencer. It’s been fun.
    Limitations: 4-5 average length songs maxes out the internal memory. Other shortcomings you already mentioned but one pet peeve is the double tap or tap & hold functions. I’ve also had certain songs (chains of patterns) be corrupted suddenly after performing some form of editing. Never figured what I did or how it happened. It’s like one beat of one measure was removed …changed the time signature from 4/4 to 7/8. Dunno😮
