This guy... can take a single unit. No FX. No sneaky MIDI. And make it SING! If you like this you have to catch his acid live set with the RD-6 and the TD-3. That is also pure class. Kudos my dude. Behringer should have this guy on the payroll.
this performance is absolutely mind-blowing! you ride the rd-8 like a rocket .. didn't think one can use just a drum machine as a solo instrument .. but this performance would set any dance floor on fire 🔥
thanks a lot jakob! you might enjoy this jam with the roland TR-09 as well which i recorded some months ago. similar concept ;) th-cam.com/video/sswmVCY6jbI/w-d-xo.html
I take your point but the _like a rocket_ simile is way off compared to my own rocket riding experience which was more of a _Oh, shhhhh.....ttt! I'm gonna die !_ kinda thing.
Fifty Cycle, I agree. Funny thing about chord progressions: there‘s not a single one in this jam, yet I‘d call it good music. James Brown‘s hits weren‘t too strong on chord progressions either. But I DO agree with you! 😃
It's amazing how you've basically put together a whole set on just this thing. That build up and breakdown at about 26:30 was a highlight, so so good. This machine is now at the top of my list thanks to you.
And that is how you do a jam video! I don’t think anyone on record has played the RD-8 this well since it’s release. This should be used as the official demo for this machine! You are brilliant my friend! Ps my first ever comment on a gear video
Dirtbox but Honestly thank you! I was being put off by all the people saying the RD-8 has midi sync issues but watching you play the living hell out of it I’m going to buy it anyway! :)
IDK, never thought I'd say this, but go listen to the "Roland TR-8S Berlin Sessions Steffi". Maybe it's a question of dry vs compressed, but the TR-8S sounds really good, and it's more reliable box MIDI wise that doesn't need tons of analog inputs to record.
@@marike1100 You don't need lots of outputs to record the RD-8; using the individual outputs is optional. The simple fx built in are (to my ear) a bit feeble and imprecise, but if you connect it up to the usual filter chains you would for other drum machines, the awesomeness of the RD-8 is clear. Roland gave the world the 808. Behringer gave it to the people.
@@marike1100 Those Berlin sessions are amazing. They really highlight what a strong bit of gear the TR-8S and is a nice counterpoint to the analog RD-8. The fact one can affordably have BOTH is pretty awesome all its own.
@@marike1100 apples and oranges, Steffi is playing a pre programmed set/song using melodies and I think even a syncussion, she could have made 90% in ableton and then just unload stuff to the sample slots, you could do the exact same set on a Digitakt for that matter or even an MPC. But this experience is something you only get with this machine, and seems pretty fun!
Dayum, just ordered mine. Can't wait. I had some korg volcas before and was really disappointed, but then I came across this beauty. Exactly what I was looking for
Great groove! ;) I imagine this RD-8 With the new 303 clone from behringer,... ;) Uli Behringer is king, making more people get into music at a great price and quality,.. big respect to ya´ Dirtbox
@0:40 I already shake my ass in front of my screen, proper electro pattern. Can't wait to get mine! Really great demo btw, your channel looks fun just subscribed.
.... too late Cosmic, the proverbial horse has already bolted ... anyway, mine's due on my doorstep tomorrow!! Can't wait - Thanks / Danke Uli !!! 😎🎹👍🎶
Was thinking about the purchasing the Roland version just for midi and sound over usb...but after seeing this video...Wow you can see the man had serious fun jamming....that’s what it’s all about with music....the vibe!! Awesome job bro!
Heftig geil. Ich war immer gegen ne 808, dachte die ist mir zu ... stumpf. Gut, dass ich heute eine günstig gekauft und dein Video gesehen habe. Ich nehme alles zurück. Du groovst richtig.
MEGA ! Ich hatte mir eigentlich dein rd 9 unboxing Video angeschaut, weil ich mir die eigentlich kaufen wollte, jetzt bin ich mir aber nicht mehr ganz so sicher.
They're out now! It's officially released and available for purchase... In certain countries. But not mine. Or yours, it sounds like. Totally agree though, can't wait for my pre-order to arrive, however many weeks or months away that may be.
@@Icanbyorsuprman1 Umm... Like I said, theyre only available in certain countries - but not mine. And I'm just waiting for my pre-order but don't expect to get it particularly soon. It was sort of a bait & switch joke because I feel your pain. But I think you maybe didn't make it past the bait part ;)
Whoa now I wouldn't lump Jomox or Moog into the same category here. Moog doesn't do drum machines at all, and while Jomox is expensive, they're a boutique shop and are legitimately innovating. What Behringer did here is basically the exact opposite end of the spectrum from Jomox and is only feasible because of Behringer's massive resources and production scale. There's simply no way Jomox or Moog COULD do what Behringer is doing, even if they were *trying* to go bankrupt in the process.
This is good stuff, this begs for a nice TD-3 patterns over it. I didn't know the 808 could sound this fat, I always thought it was the 909 that had this attitude, they almost have the same clap? Mind blown, very well played, keep em coming!

This jam sells machines! Excellent job sir!
Exactly!! I really don't need this instrument but I want is so bad!
Just ordered mine and I can confirm it was this vid that sealed the deal. Great work!!
Damn.. Egyptian Lover now has to watch his back! Killed this set man!
Indeed hahaha!!!
best rd-8 demo I've seen so far. I'm buying it after seeing this this
I also buy this now at the time. This live jam is awesome great and really the Best rd 8 Demo
Crafting a whole ass bass line and melody out of synthetic drum hits. Incredible!!!!
superbe, a live set ! so, classy ! ! one of the best 808 elctro demo
this performance is absolutely mind-blowing! you ride the rd-8 like a rocket .. didn't think one can use just a drum machine as a solo instrument .. but this performance would set any dance floor on fire 🔥

Exactly ! 😉😉😉😉😉
Behringer are the no1 they bring back the 70/80 stuffs what we need in music todays
Omg the garbage that’s called music today is embarrassing , take away the autotune and copy past melodies and there’s no content or quality.
Fifty Cycle, I agree. Funny thing about chord progressions: there‘s not a single one in this jam, yet I‘d call it good music. James Brown‘s hits weren‘t too strong on chord progressions either. But I DO agree with you! 😃
Who would thumbs down this? Fantastic jam my friend. That drum machine is superb. I need one.
People who spent $3500+ for an original 808 would probably give this a thumbs down. 🤣😉
@@timk8021 What you said. 110% correct. :D
It was Roland!!!
Holy shit. Behringer should hire you as showroom master!
It's amazing how you've basically put together a whole set on just this thing. That build up and breakdown at about 26:30 was a highlight, so so good. This machine is now at the top of my list thanks to you.
Yep.....everyone's head is bobbing involuntarily
Nice last name 😉
Agreed, can't help it

Bought my RD-8 because of this video.
Me too \m/
How do you like it?
Great Jam. It’s like a DJ without the turn tables.
incredible session !! i would love to see a session like that also with RD 9
I got mine yesterday and wow this thing sounds amazing, im loving it.
This is truly an RD-8 / 808 master class. Every moment is absolutely on point, the entire set so dynamic and evolving. Incredibly inspiring.
thank you very much :)
the old school breaker in me approves, behringer just shipped mine yesterday, happy days all you die hard electro heads.
This is so dope. I’ve been on the fence about getting one but this sealed the deal for me.
You are just AMAZING Sir ! A single-box live ... smooth transitions ... B&W ... filmed like a pro ! God bless you !
thanks ean!
Very nice. Been waiting for someone to post an electro jam with the RD8.
Very inspirational; I think I'll be getting out my bass tonight to jam along!
Really really good man. You've showed me that I definitely need to buy a RD8.
Sold. Your jam has convinced me I must get the RD-8

You forgot the 0 for 0/10 LOL
Great demo, one of the best.
Bro you killed this joint!
Keeping the beat so fresh it makes the DJs jealous. Masterful.
I think its great to see the love for electronic music across all generations. I bought this machine too, can't wait to make some funky jams
Dayum, just ordered mine. Can't wait. I had some korg volcas before and was really disappointed, but then I came across this beauty. Exactly what I was looking for
Some great patterns and transitions! Shows what this machine is capable of, some of these would get a dance floor moving with the drums alone ;-)
This is pure madness!! Can't stop dancing!!
Amazing groove! Way to work it. The swing sounds so good on the patterns.
This is so dope, mine is on the way can’t wait to learn start learning and playing!!
Great groove! ;) I imagine this RD-8 With the new 303 clone from behringer,... ;) Uli Behringer is king, making more people get into music at a great price and quality,.. big respect to ya´ Dirtbox
Marvelous set!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
*Pure rhythm
*Nice equalization.

Props for the username and actually knowing what real Electro is!
You sir are a true treasure, bought one immediately after listening to this.
from Japan and I'm 20, I bought RD-8 because of this video. really nice jam :)
Arigato gozaimasu ;)
Well done, love this, you rock!
Excellent work, and you kept it fresh for 40 minutes.
This guy plays it like the instrument it is, awesome!
This video is absolutely sick... Incredible programming mate love this
Hello Roland, wake up!
Dankeschön für Dein gutes Demo.
.... too late Cosmic, the proverbial horse has already bolted ... anyway, mine's due on my doorstep tomorrow!! Can't wait - Thanks / Danke Uli !!! 😎🎹👍🎶
@@theaudioeng But saying that I bet a lot of fans would still buy a Roland analog 808 and 909 if they made a remake. I would.
@@maccagrabme It's Coming!
can't stop bobbing my head
This video is the reason I bought an RD-8. Great jam!
This just sold me... hope Behringer know they owe you big time :)
the rd8 is a great machine, and worth every cent..
love mine!
I want this machine! And I already have a TR 808. Thanks for the video. Behringer should feature it.
Hi Stefan. Sooper dooper fantastique, thanks.
Crazy Mad Skills! Insanely Good.
Brilliant set! Very inspiring performance, thank you!
groovin n schoolin. thank you Dirtbox!
... 40 minutes too short. Epic Dirtbox, epic! Love my RD-8 too!! Be safe & enjoy the Lockdown .... 🖐😷🎶🍻🌍
Was thinking about the purchasing the Roland version just for midi and sound over usb...but after seeing this video...Wow you can see the man had serious fun jamming....that’s what it’s all about with music....the vibe!! Awesome job bro!
This is simply amazing! Might be getting one for myself. Great job!
Lovely jam mate. The 808, such a funky device and what Behringer added to their 'homage' is pretty nifty.
If you can keep your ass still when listening to these grooves you ain't got the music in ya! Infectious. Well done.
Outstanding!
thanks for set your jam online ,inspires me a lot .. cant wait to get my RD8 end of the week.. :)
the first few minutes got me remembering those 80s freestyle jams like TKA, Shannon,etc
That s why you need more machines and less plugins ... Great job ! 😱❤️👏🏻
Awesome! Nothing else, just awesome!
Great jam session! Making me want an rd-8 even tho I just got the Rd-9 🤣
You're gonna make me buy one... badass beats!
Great Demo! Having fun and cutting to the chase! Thank you D!
Awesome brother! Sounds identical to a proper TR from here. Mine is in transit. :-), and I own an actual 808, and all the Roland ACB variants.
Nice job I have mine and it rocks with my tb-303 dinsync
fantastic work
Great sounds looks like I got to wait til October for mine over here in Japan.
This is awesome. Great job!
I'm going to purchase one just on you demo, great job bro loved it.
That jam is soooo hot! Pure fire!
Dude this is sick. Seriously making me contemplate picking one up.
Really really nice jam!! Nice work!
LIke that jam and the sound of the RD8. Mine is coming tomorrow
Amazing jam, great job!!
Very Good ! 👋👌🙏 That' s an old school killer ! Congratulations....
Amazing how many people are getting these.All retailers in the US such as Sweetwater, PCircuit, etc...are saying "early next year".
thanks 👍 i love this machine! you play it the way it's ment to be. big inspiration

Freue mich schon auf meine RD8
very good stuff. inspirational ;)
Good Job I bought one.
holy fuck, I fell asleep and woke up to that ending... What an epic jam!!!
best rd 8 demo ever!
i love how the bass drum and claps distort a little when they hit at the same time
That sound... So good it hurts
I order one RD-8 and cant wait for RD-9. Behringer blast all away. Wake up Roland, Moog, Jomox......
Awesome Liveset!!!
