Roland just released a follow-up to its most famous drum machines from the 1980s


If you’ve ever listened to music released in the 1980s, you’ve likely heard the iconic TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines. Artists like New Order, Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston and Beastie Boys all used these machines during that decade and newer artists like Daft Punk, Outkast and Bjork continued the tradition as the years rolled on. Roland understands this legacy and , the TR-1000. It only took 40 years.

The TR-1000 looks to be an amalgamation of the analog grit of the original machines and modern digital features. It includes true analog voices, along with digital sampling technology. The company says it worked with “creators across scenes and geographies” to ensure the machine meets the “real-world needs and workflows of today’s most innovative producers.”

It features re-designed engines from the original 808 and 909 machines, along with a new sequencer and over 2,000 pre-installed factory samples. However, users can easily import their own samples. It also comes with 46GB of internal storage, dozens of effects and a full suite of connection ports.

“The TR-1000 feels like the true, classic lineage of the 808 and 909, not a digital remake,” El-P of the rap group Run The Jewels said in a press release. Roland fans are no doubt aware that there have been throughout the years, and none of them quite managed to capture the mojo of the original units.

A drum machine.

The drum machine is available right now to order, but there’s a spot of bad news. The Roland TR-1000 costs a whopping $2,700.
