This guy... can take a single unit. No FX. No sneaky MIDI. And make it SING! If you like this you have to catch his acid live set with the RD-6 and the TD-3. That is also pure class. Kudos my dude. Behringer should have this guy on the payroll.
this performance is absolutely mind-blowing! you ride the rd-8 like a rocket .. didn't think one can use just a drum machine as a solo instrument .. but this performance would set any dance floor on fire 🔥
thanks a lot jakob! you might enjoy this jam with the roland TR-09 as well which i recorded some months ago. similar concept ;) ua-cam.com/video/sswmVCY6jbI/v-deo.html
I take your point but the _like a rocket_ simile is way off compared to my own rocket riding experience which was more of a _Oh, shhhhh.....ttt! I'm gonna die !_ kinda thing.
Fifty Cycle, I agree. Funny thing about chord progressions: there‘s not a single one in this jam, yet I‘d call it good music. James Brown‘s hits weren‘t too strong on chord progressions either. But I DO agree with you! 😃
It's amazing how you've basically put together a whole set on just this thing. That build up and breakdown at about 26:30 was a highlight, so so good. This machine is now at the top of my list thanks to you.
And that is how you do a jam video! I don’t think anyone on record has played the RD-8 this well since it’s release. This should be used as the official demo for this machine! You are brilliant my friend! Ps my first ever comment on a gear video
Dirtbox but Honestly thank you! I was being put off by all the people saying the RD-8 has midi sync issues but watching you play the living hell out of it I’m going to buy it anyway! :)
@0:40 I already shake my ass in front of my screen, proper electro pattern. Can't wait to get mine! Really great demo btw, your channel looks fun just subscribed.
IDK, never thought I'd say this, but go listen to the "Roland TR-8S Berlin Sessions Steffi". Maybe it's a question of dry vs compressed, but the TR-8S sounds really good, and it's more reliable box MIDI wise that doesn't need tons of analog inputs to record.
@@marike1100 You don't need lots of outputs to record the RD-8; using the individual outputs is optional. The simple fx built in are (to my ear) a bit feeble and imprecise, but if you connect it up to the usual filter chains you would for other drum machines, the awesomeness of the RD-8 is clear. Roland gave the world the 808. Behringer gave it to the people.
@@marike1100 Those Berlin sessions are amazing. They really highlight what a strong bit of gear the TR-8S and is a nice counterpoint to the analog RD-8. The fact one can affordably have BOTH is pretty awesome all its own.
@@marike1100 apples and oranges, Steffi is playing a pre programmed set/song using melodies and I think even a syncussion, she could have made 90% in ableton and then just unload stuff to the sample slots, you could do the exact same set on a Digitakt for that matter or even an MPC. But this experience is something you only get with this machine, and seems pretty fun!
Great groove! ;) I imagine this RD-8 With the new 303 clone from behringer,... ;) Uli Behringer is king, making more people get into music at a great price and quality,.. big respect to ya´ Dirtbox
Dayum, just ordered mine. Can't wait. I had some korg volcas before and was really disappointed, but then I came across this beauty. Exactly what I was looking for
.... too late Cosmic, the proverbial horse has already bolted ... anyway, mine's due on my doorstep tomorrow!! Can't wait - Thanks / Danke Uli !!! 😎🎹👍🎶
Was thinking about the purchasing the Roland version just for midi and sound over usb...but after seeing this video...Wow you can see the man had serious fun jamming....that’s what it’s all about with music....the vibe!! Awesome job bro!
Beste jam die ich je auf einer Roland Rd-8 gesehen habe. Bin heute zufällig auf deinen Kanal gestoßen und gleich erstmal abboniert. Geht steil hier! B-)^_^
MEGA ! Ich hatte mir eigentlich dein rd 9 unboxing Video angeschaut, weil ich mir die eigentlich kaufen wollte, jetzt bin ich mir aber nicht mehr ganz so sicher.
i have one stupid question about the behringer rd 8 !!! why , when i put the headfones in and put the filters on , i has not a effect on it , only on the main out , when i put my headphones in the main out in it play with effects , but not on the heatphone out !!?? why is that , all other drum mashines do !! why this mashine can not do that on the heAD PHONE OUT ?
there’s a lot of 90s techno and house, much acid and chicago stuff, some dub techno and recently i tend to buy more krautrock, experimental electronic and ambient stuff
This is good stuff, this begs for a nice TD-3 patterns over it. I didn't know the 808 could sound this fat, I always thought it was the 909 that had this attitude, they almost have the same clap? Mind blown, very well played, keep em coming!

This jam sells machines! Excellent job sir!
Exactly!! I really don't need this instrument but I want is so bad!
Just ordered mine and I can confirm it was this vid that sealed the deal. Great work!!
Damn.. Egyptian Lover now has to watch his back! Killed this set man!
Indeed hahaha!!!
best rd-8 demo I've seen so far. I'm buying it after seeing this this
I also buy this now at the time. This live jam is awesome great and really the Best rd 8 Demo
Crafting a whole ass bass line and melody out of synthetic drum hits. Incredible!!!!
this performance is absolutely mind-blowing! you ride the rd-8 like a rocket .. didn't think one can use just a drum machine as a solo instrument .. but this performance would set any dance floor on fire 🔥

Exactly ! 😉😉😉😉😉
Holy shit. Behringer should hire you as showroom master!
superbe, a live set ! so, classy ! ! one of the best 808 elctro demo
Yep.....everyone's head is bobbing involuntarily
Nice last name 😉
Agreed, can't help it
Who would thumbs down this? Fantastic jam my friend. That drum machine is superb. I need one.
People who spent $3500+ for an original 808 would probably give this a thumbs down. 🤣😉
@@timk8021 What you said. 110% correct. :D
It was Roland!!!
Behringer are the no1 they bring back the 70/80 stuffs what we need in music todays
Omg the garbage that’s called music today is embarrassing , take away the autotune and copy past melodies and there’s no content or quality.

Props for the username and actually knowing what real Electro is!
the old school breaker in me approves, behringer just shipped mine yesterday, happy days all you die hard electro heads.

You forgot the 0 for 0/10 LOL

incredible session !! i would love to see a session like that also with RD 9
Very inspirational; I think I'll be getting out my bass tonight to jam along!
Bought my RD-8 because of this video.
Me too \m/
How do you like it?
I got mine yesterday and wow this thing sounds amazing, im loving it.
This is so dope. I’ve been on the fence about getting one but this sealed the deal for me.
This is truly an RD-8 / 808 master class. Every moment is absolutely on point, the entire set so dynamic and evolving. Incredibly inspiring.
thank you very much :)
Some great patterns and transitions! Shows what this machine is capable of, some of these would get a dance floor moving with the drums alone ;-)
Very nice. Been waiting for someone to post an electro jam with the RD8.
Dayum, just ordered mine. Can't wait. I had some korg volcas before and was really disappointed, but then I came across this beauty. Exactly what I was looking for
I want this machine! And I already have a TR 808. Thanks for the video. Behringer should feature it.
Amazing how many people are getting these.All retailers in the US such as Sweetwater, PCircuit, etc...are saying "early next year".
Keeping the beat so fresh it makes the DJs jealous. Masterful.
That s why you need more machines and less plugins ... Great job ! 😱❤️👏🏻
Sold. Your jam has convinced me I must get the RD-8
Hello Roland, wake up!
Dankeschön für Dein gutes Demo.
.... too late Cosmic, the proverbial horse has already bolted ... anyway, mine's due on my doorstep tomorrow!! Can't wait - Thanks / Danke Uli !!! 😎🎹👍🎶
@@theaudioeng But saying that I bet a lot of fans would still buy a Roland analog 808 and 909 if they made a remake. I would.
@@maccagrabme It's Coming!
Schönes ding!!! Hab ne Korg volca sampler kann man die beiden Geräte über Klinke koppeln?
... 40 minutes too short. Epic Dirtbox, epic! Love my RD-8 too!! Be safe & enjoy the Lockdown .... 🖐😷🎶🍻🌍
Bro you killed this joint!
Really really good man. You've showed me that I definitely need to buy a RD8.
Hi Stefan. Sooper dooper fantastique, thanks.
I think its great to see the love for electronic music across all generations. I bought this machine too, can't wait to make some funky jams
Great demo, one of the best.
Marvelous set!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
*Pure rhythm
*Nice equalization.
Was thinking about the purchasing the Roland version just for midi and sound over usb...but after seeing this video...Wow you can see the man had serious fun jamming....that’s what it’s all about with music....the vibe!! Awesome job bro!
This is so dope, mine is on the way can’t wait to learn start learning and playing!!
Great jam session! Making me want an rd-8 even tho I just got the Rd-9 🤣
the first few minutes got me remembering those 80s freestyle jams like TKA, Shannon,etc
This just sold me... hope Behringer know they owe you big time :)
Nice job I have mine and it rocks with my tb-303 dinsync
Amazing groove! Way to work it. The swing sounds so good on the patterns.
Awesome brother! Sounds identical to a proper TR from here. Mine is in transit. :-), and I own an actual 808, and all the Roland ACB variants.
WOW this is great. Compliments! Any comments about RD8 vs Tr8/TR8S/Tr08 / Elektron??????
You are just AMAZING Sir ! A single-box live ... smooth transitions ... B&W ... filmed like a pro ! God bless you !
thanks ean!
Well done, love this, you rock!
This guy plays it like the instrument it is, awesome!
Beste jam die ich je auf einer Roland Rd-8 gesehen habe. Bin heute zufällig auf deinen Kanal gestoßen und gleich erstmal abboniert. Geht steil hier! B-)^_^
Great sounds looks like I got to wait til October for mine over here in Japan.
MEGA ! Ich hatte mir eigentlich dein rd 9 unboxing Video angeschaut, weil ich mir die eigentlich kaufen wollte, jetzt bin ich mir aber nicht mehr ganz so sicher.
If you had to choose between the RD-8 and the RD-9, which one do you prefer?
Good Job I bought one.
Very Good ! 👋👌🙏 That' s an old school killer ! Congratulations....
from Japan and I'm 20, I bought RD-8 because of this video. really nice jam :)
Arigato gozaimasu ;)
thanks for selling me on this. got one coming in a few days.
Crazy Mad Skills! Insanely Good.
My Roland TR8 might be leaving the building after this 🙃
Roland is lagging behind
Lovely jam mate. The 808, such a funky device and what Behringer added to their 'homage' is pretty nifty.
groovin n schoolin. thank you Dirtbox!
It's settled. I'm grabbing one of these. I have a TR-8, but it can't touch this -- especially the kick.
This video is the reason I bought an RD-8. Great jam!
Excellent work, and you kept it fresh for 40 minutes.
This is fantastic - not sure I'd use the onboard filter at the expense of using the individual outs, but it sounds so good anyway.
the rd8 is a great machine, and worth every cent..
love mine!
God them it!! How do you do that? There is no need for harmony.
Outstanding!
can't stop bobbing my head
i love how the bass drum and claps distort a little when they hit at the same time
Brilliant set! Very inspiring performance, thank you!
This is pure madness!! Can't stop dancing!!
holy fuck, I fell asleep and woke up to that ending... What an epic jam!!!
My RD8 mk2 is on the way. This is what I need to learn to do...
Man I’ve already got a tr8s but I want one of these and an rd 9 so bad.
Is part of the reason the rd-8 sounds so great compared to digital is because it has an analog mixer built in?
You sir are a true treasure, bought one immediately after listening to this.
i have one stupid question about the behringer rd 8 !!! why , when i put the headfones in and put the filters on , i has not a effect on it , only on the main out , when i put my headphones in the main out in it play with effects , but not on the heatphone out !!?? why is that , all other drum mashines do !! why this mashine can not do that on the heAD PHONE OUT ?
How is Uli not endorsing you mate
thanks for set your jam online ,inspires me a lot .. cant wait to get my RD8 end of the week.. :)
very good stuff. inspirational ;)
This is simply amazing! Might be getting one for myself. Great job!
This makes me regret buying a Roland TR-08 honestly. Awesome job Behringer!
I am enjoying changing the pitch of the cowbell on the TR-08 (and all other midi CC controlled parameters).
I love it! But I always have a RD-6 and I want the RD-9! loool Uli makes us crazy!!!! 😁
Dude this is sick. Seriously making me contemplate picking one up.
Does the RD8 have circuits that after warming up allow the machine to sound better? Awesome Jam too!
Off topic but you have a nice collection of vinyls. What do you like ?
there’s a lot of 90s techno and house, much acid and chicago stuff, some dub techno and recently i tend to buy more krautrock, experimental electronic and ambient stuff
LIke that jam and the sound of the RD8. Mine is coming tomorrow
fantastic work
I'm going to purchase one just on you demo, great job bro loved it.
If you can keep your ass still when listening to these grooves you ain't got the music in ya! Infectious. Well done.
This is good stuff, this begs for a nice TD-3 patterns over it. I didn't know the 808 could sound this fat, I always thought it was the 909 that had this attitude, they almost have the same clap? Mind blown, very well played, keep em coming!
thanks 👍 i love this machine! you play it the way it's ment to be. big inspiration
You're gonna make me buy one... badass beats!
I bought mine after seeing this.
Argh shit another behringer product that i need in my life
