Boss DR-55 Dr. Rhythm: The Unassuming Legend of Dark 80s Drums

Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/nostalgi...

We explore the somehow dark sound of the Boss DR-55 Dr. Rhythm, a drum machine that laid the foundation for dark and driving rhythms of the 80s. We explore its simple programming, classic analog sounds that capture that unmistakable dark character, and surprising features like acting as a master clock for other devices. Used by bands like The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, and Soft Cell, the DR-55 might bring that darkness behind their tracks.
