I remember commenting on the vid you did. This was my second drum machine after the DR55, which I gigged with just me, the good Dr triggering a Concertmate MG-1, and my Poly 800. By some incredible coincidence I found one this week which arrived by today (future readers, the release day of the video). I sat down to open my parcel and opened YT for my weekly hit of Bad Gear
This was my beginning as a drummer in the early 80's - plugged into an amp and strictly live finger drumming in my first band. Ha! I never even learned how to program it, but spent many hours tapping on it.
Back at school (god, that was long ago!) My mate and I were hiding out in the music room at lunchtimes, cranking out what would now be classed as minimal techno, with a Dr110 and an SH101, via a tascam 4 track mixer/recorder: no MIDI, questionable timing and no real idea what we were doing. I haven’t thought about that for a long time - those were good times.
The trick with these is to run them through a resonant high-pass filter to boost the bass drum, I used to do it on a Yamaha CS-15 and it'll get you that big booming 808 sound without any problem. The snare and hats are serviceable as is and the claps are The Best Claps Ever anyway. Liked mine far more than the 606 I had even if it didn't have knobs for mixing.
I absolutely love the TR 606s hihat sounds. They stand out among all the classic drum machines of the time. Seems like the DR-110 hihat sounds quite similar. Cheers!
AudioPilz jams are the best! On a side note, you could never find these back in the day, at least our local music shops would not carry them. DR550's were everywhere and no one was talking about these. Way to highlight how under rated these are! The Dr-101 sounds so punchy on those jams! Well done!
Just goes to show if you know your art you can make anything sound good. You have proven this many times. As a guitarist I can get my sound from any source. Tubes, transistor, modeling makes no difference. Thanks, it's always a pleasure to see what you have in store for us.
Florian in the TB-3 video: "To be clear, I still don't like the TB-3." Florian after using it in 30 other videos: "Perhaps I treated you too harshly." Great work as always! Keep up the good work!
Dope episode! Love the DR-110, been looking for one for a while now. Salute to the ‘…patterns on THE FLY’ edit • Jeff Goldblum is still one is the best 💙
I really love the way how they made a display on that machine - there's something beautiful about combination of printed grid and electronic dots. I think it would be cool to see something like this on a modern device.
I recently got one for a surprisingly good deal and I absolutely love it! Super simple and love the quirky and charming sounds of it, great video as always too!
I love this machine so much. It. just. looks. cool. I've seen so many pop up on craigslist for like $100 over the last 5 years and I've NEVER jumped on them. Now you're going to make sure that never happens again as you're right, they sound awesome!
I had one of these back in the mid 1980s & virtually gave it away to get a shiny new Digital Roland TR 505 & later an R8 which I still have somewhere!!
That was CLAP-tastic!!! The snare is also good enough to cut through the mix ans easily surpasses more modern equivalent, like the snare of the Volca Drums and the Drum Brute. Good shit mate!
In 1986, as a callow 12 year-old, I ordered the BOSS handbooks through the post when I was first becoming acquainted with all things BOSS. BOSS sent me the 1984 edition and the 1986 edition. At the time, BOSS were so proud of the newly-digital DR220A/E machines that they more or less said (well, implied) of the DR110, ‘this is old and obsolete’, even in their sales pitch! Naturally, I saved up the pennies and plunged for the DR220A some years later. How I wish I’d gone for the ‘obsolete’ DR110 now. The whole of my musical life could have been different. I had no idea what a TR808 was but I knew I liked ‘that’ snare sound. If I’d known the DR110 could have given me something close, I’d have been smitten. But there was no internet then…and certainly no Bad Gear!
This is like a journey through my late 20’s in the late 90’s. It’s a bit naff but it does sample really well especially when your using lower sample rates. We had an X7000 (128k memory) for that
The X7000 is a really fun piece of -shit- ... eh I mean kit, that should be featured on this show. They seem pretty hard to find now at a decent price though. I got lucky finding one at a thrift shop a few years ago
Nice nod to JHS there 👍 It sounds pretty good, at least worth sampling for sure. I wonder how many of these & similar gear many of us came across in the 90’s+ when someone said to us “oh you can have that if you like, I don’t use it” & we said “naaaah” 😆🙁
I´m a big fan of this machine - mostly for nostalgic reasons. And you won´t find a better clap anywhere else. By the way: Your selection of memes are always great fun and I always look foreward to a new AudioPilz video.
Finally som real old gear dr rhytm 110 was our second drummachine we firtst had dr rhytm 55 so for us it was a big step I specially love that handclap it brings back memories from the early eighties. Thanx you made my friday complete once again. Peace and love from Gothenburg Sweden and TAO
This was musically my favorite show by far. Just grimy AF ! I've subbed since the first ep and I'm blown away by level artistry you get outta these lovely throw away machines just to make demos for us normies. Bravo !
So I purchased a Roland MC-505 way back in the early 90's and it was the centerpiece of the Metal/Electronic band I was in (Think Pitch Shifter meets Evanescence). And just yesterday I received one in the mail I purchased off craigslist. You need to do a video on it! It's one of the god fathers of the Groove Boxes and with the right programming and the super powerful JV sound engine/sequencer, it deserves a great video by you!!!
Hello!!! I adore your channel and Bad Gear. Hands down you are my favorite youtuber and show!! I would Love to see the Korg R3 or the Zoom RhythmTrak RT-123 on the show! I really dig how you give such a thorough and earnest trial and description of all the gear you review. and your music is inspiring! Thanks for making a fantastic show
My second drum machine after my Synsonics...man, I loved that little box! But I happily replaced it with a Drumulator. Ah...good times! Thanks for the memories!
My second drum machine back in the eighties, loved it! my first had been the Soundmaster SR-88. Don't remember what happened to either of them, might still be in the loft of my first house!
Still have mine! Bought one in Michigan that was used by an experimental musician who would play it through effects pedals...exactly what I do with it. This and a DD-6 or SYB-3 pedals by Boss are 🔥! The SYB-3 makes it a poor man's TB-303 something I learned on TH-cam ages ago!
Heh a lovely little machine, thanks for doing this episode! Retrokits did a limited run of the RK-110 MIDI mod which was tiny and no case damage! It used the 3.5mm socket for MIDI IN, genius! There's an install video on YT. I did email them around the same time as the video but I missed out, and they're not going to do another run due to the cheap fully-MIDI'd alternatives out there. Shame. Maybe contact them to do a few more? I also have the HA-5 and yes, the p-bus works and the effects aren't bad either. Hiss is loud on certain settings but I got it wanting to replace the insides & put a mod circuit inside with knobs on the outside, and a plug/socket directly into the DR-110, but it seems like sacrilege... yet it would look great...
I love my TR-06 because it adds the clap and built in distortion (and delay and reverb), adds TR909 and 808 kicks and snares and some variations to the toms. It really is the ultimate 606/110 plus mods in an “official” package.
I've been loading a lot of samples from analog/synthesis-based gear lately, and this beauty popped up! I actually liked it more than TR-606 so I decided to check the internet for more info. Good video! No physical limitations when using samples, so I'm cool with it. B)
the tr-808 accent meme was gold, as well as the keanu one. Darn you dude! i can totally afford that awesome clap. I want it! I am totally gonna ignore that disclaimer.
DR-110 - great product. My only drum machine until the DR-880. Worked great for many years then the external power input died but still works on battery. Still have the DR-110, although unused since getting the DR-880. The problem now is that the Logic Pro auto-drummer and the proliferation of excellent drum plugins means that even the DR-880 doesn't get used much.
That was awesome! ULYSSES 31!!! I thought I was the only person who remembered that. The display on that unit reminds me a bit of the display on an old ZOOM 9002 guitar effects unit I had.....which would also make a good episode I think.
Ohh man, my bandmate had / has DR-110 and I thought ‘oh I might pick up a poor mans 606’ for fun... but they’ve gone wildly up in price. It’s a goofy 80’s toy that’s now actually worth something.. I love it
The DR-110 was Roland's last fully analog drum machine and also the first one with the graphical multi-track grid on the display, the precursor to the TR-707's display (the best display among all of Roland's drum machines, in my opinion). If you want a 110 in order to mod it with individual outs and MIDI+sync in/out, save your time and money and just get a Behringer RD-6 instead. I have a DR-110 that was halfway functional when I got it, but I managed to get it back to full working condition. Fact is, I haven't touched it ever since I bought the RD-6.
A law should have been passed to make grids like the DR-110's display had mandatory on all drum machines. Nowadays I have a Kawai R-50 and a Yamaha RY20, and boy do I miss my Doctor!
No financial advice uh... Clever option to get away with spiking up prices on the used market :)))) Great little drum machine. That clap is awesome, indeed.
But plain old Boss effects pedals are still solid choices in a sea of hit-or-miss boutique pedals sporting fancy paint jobs. The recent SY series is among the very best synth pedals I've ever used and track perfectly on bass guitar. I also like the fact that they still look exactly the same as they did in the 1970s.
@@RCAvhstape THIS. I've gradually over the years worked my way thru a pedalboard full of Boss stompboxes, replaced 'em all with a GT-8, added a GP-10, and finally ditched the GP-10 for an SY-1000. Between the -8 and the -1000 I think I can do just about anything I'd ever want to on guitar and then some.
Great job squeezing all the juice out of the "limitations" of the beloved DR-110! Used the claps back in the 80's ad nauseam. Always fun to see gear I used back in the day just to wonder, "What ever happened to the DR-110? Did Jeff get that when the band broke up?"
The jam was great! Thanks...Despite its lack of sounds (and by later standards missing features like midi) Always wanted one purely cause I love its design and way it looks ☺️
Thank you for another awesome episode. A suggestion for a future piece of bad gear would be the ensoniq ASR-X. I own a ASR-X pro and though I love the sound of it wait times for loading are horrible, 2 line LCD green LCD screen means menu diving, triggering it to start sometimes causes it to hiccup, and the last O.S for it was never officially released before EMu bought them out.
@@AudioPilz Evidence and Alchemist are doing wonders with this thing. Always seemed weird to make beats on a keyboard. Would love to see the ASR on this channel!
I am an even crazier nerd. I been collecting rolands since I was 14.. I don't regret it. The DR-110 reminds me more of the TR-505 than it does the TR-606 and I can say, I actually own both of them. The DR-101 looks very similar to the TR-505, just quite smaller for some odd reason. Same sort of LCD screen, button layout and so forth. The thing about the TR-505 is that it is Digital and not Analog, and so many too heavily modified them but mine is pure original and pristine. All I can say is that the TR-505 is an iconic drummachine in of itself, and let there be cowbells.

Just like Roy (Futureman) Wooten of The Flecktones. That's BEAST!
Same here. My friend had a Jupiter 8 and I had a Dr and a Japanese guitar. Did not sound too bad. We did not know about effects and stuff then 😁
I always make it through the week by counting the days until the next episode of Bad Gear.
TGIF!!!❤️❤️❤️
👌🏼😁
I just discovered this show a few months ago and because of you I bought a synth. I blame you Bad Gear!

Welcome to the GAS club! May God have mercy on your wallet.

Fun Fact:the external in and filter is the same for all CS's
Excellent tip, I ran the DR through an Analog Heat and BOOM! What a difference!
The 2nd jam with all the pedal FX was DOPE!! Puts me in a mood of like an arcade fighting game!
Thank you!!!
Wicked Show as ever mate. I've wanted this little cutie for my bad but good drum machine collection for years. Prices are rising very swiftly.
Thanks!

I have one, and I love it. Sure, the limits are there, but that forces interesting decisions. The sounds are pleasantly dirty.
True that!!!
the Ulysses 31 intro made my day...I love you
My first bit of tech, still have my red SH-101, I put a sample pack of this and a 606 into Zenbeats on my phone, it lives on, lovely.
It's now uploaded in the matrix;)

You absolutely killed me with The Fly insert! Brilliant, again!
Thank you!!!
No friday without this gold, have a great weekend!
Thank you so much!
Finally som real old gear dr rhytm 110 was our second drummachine we firtst had dr rhytm 55 so for us it was a big step I specially love that handclap it brings back memories from the early eighties. Thanx you made my friday complete once again. Peace and love from Gothenburg Sweden and TAO
Wow, you had the 55 too!!! Nice!
Do you like the knife? So wanna vist your City one day
Yesterday my friend blessed my porch with a Korg super drums and I thought of you sir. Thanks for making Fridays TGI again.

Thank you so much!!!

This was the first drum machine I ever owned back around 1985 - Had a lot of fun with it then too :)
great show, your use of Memes always is spot on. Well done...
I have half a dozen sample sets of this machine I've collected over 20 years and use it all the time. Some very reliable work horse drum sounds.
Agreed, it's a lesser known classic!
Neigh! Watch out for those horse🐴 drums!
That last dirty jam is my favorite jam ever on this channel
My second drum machine after my Synsonics...man, I loved that little box! But I happily replaced it with a Drumulator. Ah...good times! Thanks for the memories!
Ah, Drumulator - sometimes you gotta get out the big guns!!!

The JHS show reference brings together ny 2 never miss TH-cam shows. Made my week!
My second drum machine back in the eighties, loved it! my first had been the Soundmaster SR-88. Don't remember what happened to either of them, might still be in the loft of my first house!
Wow, the Soundmaster - forgot about these!
Been watching a lot of Bad Gear, and I'm pretty sure EVERYTHING checks all the boxes all the time.
That clap... slaps :D
Seems like cool device, especially for modding.

Thanks for watching!!!
"He has The Box". And the coffee pot! :) Nice little machine, which will be unobtainable after this video. Wie immer, danke!

Back in 1983 I used this drum machine to write a TV commercial!! Great fun back then.
Nice!!!
Your jamz are top notch my guy. I've always wanted one of these for the cuteness factor, but it has a tight snappy sound as well!
Thanks! Yeah, sounds bigger than it is!
9:09 video run time about a drum machine is *chef’s kiss*
It's aliens;)
So, could you cover the Wolca Modular? It's easily the most divisive Volca out there, and there's a lot to say about it.
Great suggestion!!! That one is moving up the list, thanks!
I have the Volca Modular, it is definately good and bad- bring it on!
I still like my Wintage Wolca Keez
You plug that thing into a Tascam X15 and you have my first home recording studio. I loved it SO MUCH.
Guys be like "I'm in the studio" ;)
Dude! These graphic puns are _killing_ me! 🤣 I have to keep rewinding to catch even half of them.
Thank you!!!
Nice work! Definitely like the sound of the drums. Pretty classic really. And yes, that clap is very nice! Great job on that last jam. Very cool!
Best cymbals of any analog drum machine. I still have mine and use the cymbals all the time. Clap is great too.
Agreed!!!

Also just got one, pretty amazing
OMG, that JHS Pedals reference was amazing 👏 👏👏 👏
I had one when they first came out. Was a massive step up from my Sound Master SR-88 which was essentially a DR-55 clone.....
Happy Days.
Oh! This thing smokes the DR55 BIG TIME!
HOLY SHIT!!! It was my first drum machine back in 1984 !!❤
I spent various seconds laughing at "that was dirty as a Delta Air restroom", that came outta NOWHERE
Nice use of Ullysses 31 visual which has one of the most kick ass soundtracks of any cartoon series.

A law should have been passed to make grids like the DR-110's display had mandatory on all drum machines. Nowadays I have a Kawai R-50 and a Yamaha RY20, and boy do I miss my Doctor!
Let's take it to the supreme court!!!
As always the best!
"He has the Box!!!!" - great JHS reference
Josh is the GOAT!
No financial advice uh... Clever option to get away with spiking up prices on the used market :))))
Great little drum machine. That clap is awesome, indeed.
My first drum machine and it was glorious!
The last analog Roland...
I'm starting to think Boss may be the new Boss of Bad Gear.
Like a Boss!!!
only because they are Roland.
But plain old Boss effects pedals are still solid choices in a sea of hit-or-miss boutique pedals sporting fancy paint jobs. The recent SY series is among the very best synth pedals I've ever used and track perfectly on bass guitar. I also like the fact that they still look exactly the same as they did in the 1970s.
@@RCAvhstape THIS. I've gradually over the years worked my way thru a pedalboard full of Boss stompboxes, replaced 'em all with a GT-8, added a GP-10, and finally ditched the GP-10 for an SY-1000. Between the -8 and the -1000 I think I can do just about anything I'd ever want to on guitar and then some.
Great video as always! My first thought is to get hold of one of these and sample it into a PO-33...
Thanks! Haven't tried it with the POs... I wonder if they sync
Great job squeezing all the juice out of the "limitations" of the beloved DR-110! Used the claps back in the 80's ad nauseam. Always fun to see gear I used back in the day just to wonder, "What ever happened to the DR-110? Did Jeff get that when the band broke up?"
Thanks! Yeah, so much gear gone...
First time I've ever gotten a financial-advice disclaimer on a music gear review. :D
Better safe than sorry;)
The jam was great! Thanks...Despite its lack of sounds (and by later standards missing features like midi) Always wanted one purely cause I love its design and way it looks ☺️
Thank you!!!
Thank you for another awesome episode. A suggestion for a future piece of bad gear would be the ensoniq ASR-X. I own a ASR-X pro and though I love the sound of it wait times for loading are horrible, 2 line LCD green LCD screen means menu diving, triggering it to start sometimes causes it to hiccup, and the last O.S for it was never officially released before EMu bought them out.
Thanks! Great suggestion!!!
@@AudioPilz Evidence and Alchemist are doing wonders with this thing. Always seemed weird to make beats on a keyboard. Would love to see the ASR on this channel!
We need "Ticking all the boxes" merch!
So do I!!!
I am an even crazier nerd. I been collecting rolands since I was 14.. I don't regret it.
The DR-110 reminds me more of the TR-505 than it does the TR-606 and I can say, I actually own both of them. The DR-101 looks very similar to the TR-505, just quite smaller for some odd reason. Same sort of LCD screen, button layout and so forth. The thing about the TR-505 is that it is Digital and not Analog, and so many too heavily modified them but mine is pure original and pristine. All I can say is that the TR-505 is an iconic drummachine in of itself, and let there be cowbells.
Those little pictures are nice.. it's like a cross between a crossword puzzle solver and a speak and spell.
