Drum Patterns

Roland TR-909

After the TR-808 the 909 had not that much success, its sound was too hard for the 80's, but the techno revolution made it very famous. It wasn't the big success in 1983, when it was released - the people wanted "real sounding" drum machines, but many years later the machine found new life with the techno revolution.
