Est. 1972 The choice of professional musicians Legendary quality & reliability World leader in electronic music technology Rhythm Performer Meets Sound Designer Born of the most famous and influential drum machines ever made, the TR-8S combines the best of its Roland heritage with modern production techniques and comprehensive sound design. The result? The most complete drum machine to date—a forward-thinking, performance-tuned instrument unlike any other. Build your dream kit from the most iconic drum sounds of all time, otherworldly FM sounds, and the finest selection of samples from our vast library—or go even further by importing your own samples. Advanced drum machine filled with the most iconic TR drum sounds of all time Including authentic recreations of the 808, 909, 707, 727 and 606 drum machines You also get the CR-78 CompuRhythm, a direct predecessor of the TR-808 Enhance sounds with percussion-tuned effects Powered by Roland's highly acclaimed ACB technology Store 128 patterns with eight variations and three fills contained in each 128 built-in kits Design Kits with Authentic TR Drums, FM Sounds, Samples, and Effects The TR-8S comes loaded with the largest, most authentic collection of TR drum machines available. The powerful processor gives our next-generation ACB models a whole new level of detail and nuance with that classic Roland boom, snap, and sizzle. Enrich the core TR drums with a spectrum of futuristic FM sounds, plus preset and custom samples for unique hybrid and layered kits. Then enhance them all with specialized effects to inject professional sound design into the TR formula. Transistor Rhythms The TR-8S has every sound from the most sought-after TR drum machines, with recreations of the 808, 606, 909, 707, and 727, and several modified versions too. These are not sound-alike sample-packs or mere recordings of TR drum sounds—each machine is a detailed, down-to-the-circuit model that sounds and behaves exactly like the original hardware. All these sounds are yours, at your fingertips, and ready to use in your own productions and performances. Stellar FM Sounds The FM sounds in the TR-8S are unlike anything this side of Mars, conjuring silvery drum hits and twisting tails to augment your tracks. The Morph parameter is an ultra-expressive macro control that lets you sweep through an array of sonic variations, wildly manipulating FM depth, ratio, and feedback with simple knob movements. ACB Meets Samples Today’s rhythm tracks need a diverse set of sounds and production techniques, and it’s harder than ever to sound unique. While authentic TR sounds are vital, layering your own mono or stereo samples, or pulling from the extensive onboard collection, opens a world of modern styles and the potential to craft your own signature sound. Like the TR and FM sounds, you can deeply manipulate samples with hands-on control of tuning, decay, start points, speed, and direction. Create a kit entirely from samples, or mix and match with FM and classic TR sounds for genre-defying drum tracks that demand attention. Drumatic Effects The right effects make a drum part stand out by creating depth and space. Whether it’s delay on a rimshot, overdrive on a kick, filters on toms and cymbals, or just the right amount of reverb on select instruments, the TR-8S has an array of percussion-tuned effects that sound great. In addition to the Master FX knob, each channel has a customizable CTRL knob, placing all this sound-shaping power within easy reach. The attack of the kick, snap of the snare, phaser depth, distortion amount—whatever parameter you need direct access to—can be assigned to the knobsand saved with the kit. Both Instrument and Master Effects, along with their precise settings, are also saved with each kit, so your productions are always performance-ready. Fast, Fluid, and Fun You can program on the 16 TR-REC buttons or use the velocity-sensitive performance pad to play live or record into the sequencer. And you can move seamlessly between either—playing,editing, and reshaping your drum parts without ever interrupting your flow. Create intricate grooves and detailed fills using velocity, accents, flams, and adjustable sub-steps for modern rolls and ratcheting. Get experimental with unusual polyrhythms and complex meters by adjusting the length or "last step" of each drum part.

On the TR-8S you can automate the course tuning of samples within a sequence, so that they can change pitch whilst the sequence is playing. However there is no global transpose funtion to change the key of a programmed sequence. The TR-8S is a drum machine first and foremost. If you require more control over melodic instruments you might also want to consider the MC-707 which offers many more melodic options and the ability to program drums too. Thank you. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible *by M***. on 24 December 2025* Best drum machine out there ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Roland TR8S *by A***V on 23 August 2025* Superb Machine!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ your love it *by X***R on 2 February 2025* For anyone who loves music and drum machines and rhythm this is the business fantastic machine once you get into it expensive but well worth it ## Frequently Bought Together - Roland AIRA Rhythm Performer (TR-8S) , 128 Patterns - Roland CB-BTRMX Black Series Instrument Bag for Tr-8S, Tr-8 and Mx-1 - Decksaver Roland TR-8S Keyboard Cover (DS-PC-TR8S) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/84565877-roland-tr-8s-advanced-rhythm-performer](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/84565877-roland-tr-8s-advanced-rhythm-performer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
