Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland TR-6S. Is this modern drum machine and little sibling of the critically acclaimed TR-8S only a sketch pad for quick ideas or is it up to the job of being the centerpiece of setups both live and in the studio. Well, Roland's Gonna Roland.

Thanks to Tom of Synth Anatomy for lending me the keyboard version:
