Chris Liebing | Roland 909 session

video upload by Chris Liebing

"Happy 909 day!

I’m the proud owner of a machine without which the evolution of Techno would be almost unthinkable. Rarely has a drum machine had such a profound impact on an entire genre, and far beyond it.

Over the years, friends have stopped by my studio, and sometimes even met me on the road, to sign it. I keep getting it signed whenever possible. Maybe someone can make a list of all the names that have made their way onto it so far! 😄

Some people might not know what a raw 909 actually sounds like, the kick, the toms, the hats, and all the other sounds that make this machine so unmistakable. So, I decided to have a little session on the 909 and hit record, enjoy! 909 forever!

And thank you, ‪@rolandglobal‬ for creating this machine and making billions of people happier along the way."
