"Roland TR-505 drum machine review tutorial and sound demos. This drum machine gets some hate from TR purists (often referred to as 'a good doorstop') but honestly I think this is a really solid little drum machine with that classic Roland TR / Boss DR sound and a really nice to use srquencer. It has also been used by a plethora of great artists including: Aphex Twin, Vince Clarke, Tame Impala, Thom Yorke, Derrick May, Blood Orange, and Venetian Snares and probably many others! See chapters below if you want to skip straight to the tutorial or sound demos.

Hope you folks enjoy the video :)
