Drum Patterns

Boss DR-220

The DR-220 by Boss is made up of two budget-priced drum machines. Both of these are digital, but the DR-220A version features acoustic drum samples, while the DR-220E version is oriented more towards electronic drum samples. The development and manufacturing of the DR-220 Dr. Rhythm series began in 1985 and is based on their earlier DR-110.
