I was one of those kids breakdancing on a sidewalk in 1984 to "Jam on It" and the Beat Street soundtrack now here in 2020 I just took a break from working on my TR-8 to watch this video. life is pretty cool. 😎
Roland until the end of time. So much rich history in music making. Something about a Roland unit makes music making so much fun and effortless. The sequencer is so beautiful tied in with the sounds. Unbelievable experience every time. This new unit has so much room for individuality ❤️🧡💛🖤🤍
The rhythmic base of Charly García's album "Clics Modernos" from 1983 (probably the best "rock" album in the history of Argentina, not only for me but for the Rolling Stone Magazine also) is entirely made with this machine. So Roland, thank you very much ; )

God! If i listen the 808 sounds and remember the amazing oldschool days, i get the hell of goosebumps. The 808 was the only drum computer which totaly ruined my Bose sound system.
I grew up in the 70 and 80s. That legandary sound of the 808. Expecially that heavy kick was the base of many records back than and now a days still. And that clap and cowbell. Still like them.
I haven't noticed a better sounding drum machine than the 808, there are many beautiful sounding machines, e.g. CR-78, TR-606, TR-909 but there is no comparison here because the 808 is a very versatile sound
Watched the 808 doc last night. Fantastic. Always loved this machine but seeing that and especially Mr K talking about the faulty transistors that made that legendary sound was heartwarming....😁
Gotta love that the length of the video is 8:08! I just posted pics of my 808 on IG & FB at 8:08 this morning! ;-) Thank you to Arthur Baker, Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force, John Rocca, Mantronix, Cybotron, Twilight 22, Rick Rubin and many others for all the great 808 jams! I got my first job in High School in the 80's for the sole purpose of buying an 808 which I did for $500 and still have it today! (I had to buy an MSQ-700 to get it to sync with MIDI)

Hi, is there "ANYWAY" at all for me to hit the pads and hear the drums without it being in sequence ? I have an MPC 2000 sequencer that I am trying to make tha master and this Roland tha slave. Problem is, I do not hear the drums when I hit any of the pads on tha MPC 2000 or the Roland :(

Historical drum machine at 40 years now & great hearing the producers using the 808 that created the music i loved!
Who is the genius that made this video 8:08? Give them a raise!
They shouldve released it on 808. Not 807
@@dianevrules maybe they did, depending on time zone?

LEGENDARY!
I really have a passion for music 🎶 since a little girl born 1982 I love ❤️ it.
A lot of my favorite songs growing up had that 808 sound...Lose Control (with the Clear sample), Lolipop, Fashion Killa...
8 minutes and 8 seconds… well done
Great 808 Video.
I got mine.you got yours.
We all got one.
808 song that is.
01:38 - I tried to recreate the sound but it dont works for me. Does anyone have tips on how to get the effect on the drums? Thanks very much
I’d add a “like” but there’s already 808 likes. I....Can’t change that. The 808 is magic.
I love me some 808s!
was hoping to see 808 State in this joint...

Happy 808 Day!
Love how this video is 8:08 long. 😎
And thx to B. I have now some boom too!
I had a Roland 505 for years!
it makes me sad that people always forget about ryuichi sakamoto from YMO. his song RIOT IN LAGOS from 1980 is the first song to ever use an 808!
People know.. Ymo wasn’t didn’t bring ss much attention to the machine as these artist in this video.
Love YMO

The important instrument in music history.
Not even thought about it's 40th. Bit over used, but still sounds good in the right place.
再生時間も808なの好き
Oh yeah!😎
My old man had the roland R8 in the 90s. Was expensive $850. These days worth 40 bucks
More like $500. Especially the mk2.
Don Lewis created the idea behind MIDI and was the inspiration for the creation of the Roland corporation and the C-78 and 808 drum machines....
what makes this video more interesting is the duration being 8:08 minutes long
Which Re-Issue is better? the Roland or the Behringer ???
Din Sync RE-808. An actual replica.
TR 808... call me D-Nice!!!
“My name is D nice”
I only knew about this machine from Aphex Twin using the legendary machine in his earlier work.
Really? It was first used in 1982.

8.08 😍✌🏻
What a Moog Minimoog is for BASS...is what a TR-808 is for Drums! #KingsOfTheirClasses
The soft and warm tone character of this machine made it easier to take in..digital is ok but analog is more..human.if you will !!!
Only good speakers handled 808 frequencies. 👍
Sounds great on my big JVC boombox from the 80s. Blasting Planet Rock on there.
Most of the modern producers shown are using samples. Not the same.

If your using these instruments. Try turning down the tempo 👍.
thanks 4 this video! Salute from realhiphopfiles.com worldwide community
Shame you let Uli eat your dinner.
Fun how people this 808 is a sound not an actual drum machine😂

Shame Roland don't manufacture it anymore using the old technology as new tech just does not sound as good, not even close.
Come on, it’s CLOSE.
GEE.
They stopped making it because they used these quirky transistors that gave it the unique sound and that stock ran out. Just part of what made it so legendary.

why you build no the original one up !!! there was lot of money in it !!!! all clones are not 40 procent of the original !!!only the beringer clone was dope too !!!! but we whant the original sound !!! not that cheap sound that the tr 808 mini have !!! it lost the tr hard low bomb !!!
