TR-808's CONTINUING STORY

It’s hard to believe,

that a drum machine introduced in 1980 would still be celebrated today by lovers of culture, music, and design. Thank you to the people who ‘got’ the original 808, the artists who took it to another level and most importantly, everyone who loves the music that the Roland TR-808 inspired. Welcome to the continuing story of the most boombastic drum machine of all time–forty two years on, still going strong.   

With the release of the TR-808 Digital Collectibles we are beginning the 808's journey forward into Web3 and the Metaverse.  We are excited for where the TR-808's journey will go in the decades ahead.

THE
ORIGIN

There were only 12,00 TR-808 drum machines produced from 1980-1982. Soon after it’s release, the 808 became a cornerstone of the emerging electronic, dance, and hip hop genres, popularized by early hits such as "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye, "I Want To Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) by Whitney Houston, to "Rock The Bells" by LL Cool J. The TR-808 Drum Machine Changed Music Forever.

THE
SONGS

Immortalized by the biggest artist in music, the TR-808 has been used to make more hit records than any  other drum machine.  Records like, ‘Doin’ it Right featuring Panda Bear by Daft Punk, 'The Way You Move' by Outkast, 'Xtal' by Aphex Twin, ‘Love Lockdown’ by Kanye West ‘Chimes’ by Hudson Mohawke, ‘Drunk in love’ by Beyone and the list goes on and on.
