Catch that beat

Review Of The Boss 880 Dr. Rhythm Drum Machine

The company that set the standard for drum machines and programming before there was even a term for what they were, Roland, has always been innovative and responsive to what musicians need and want, and the Boss Dr. Rhythm 880 Drum Machine might as well be called a band in a box.

This drum machine has all of the old school drum machine sounds you have known and loved forever, but also has many more modern Drum Sounds (440 drum sounds!) for you to assemble in to your own kits and program any way you wish. It even give the user the option of editing the waveforms The Drum sounds are composed of, allowing you to make your own drum sounds if you so desire.

But Drums are Just Drums, and you need more than that, right? I mean, a rhythm section is composed of drums AND the bass. There are over 40 bass types availalble in this unit to accentuate and accompany the beats you make. Just to take it all a step further though, the Dr. Rhythm 880 includes a 1/4″ jack for guitar, bass, keyboard or microphone input to play along and record to your beats. You can even assign amp modelling to the input signal – meaning you can choose an amplifier style for the guitar or bass to emulate. If you want the guitar to sound like a Marshall stack there is a setting to make it sound like it’s coming through a British stack.

This feature alone is what puts this drum machine far above the rest of the beat makers available at the same price range today. To be able to plug your guitar or other instrument or even microphone in to this thing and be able to play along and record makes this almost a studio in a box.

I made sure to use the term “studio” on purpose, though. There have been reviews of the Boss Dr. Rhythm 880 that claim that it’s not such a wonderful tool for live stage performance. With limited memory and no front panel button available to add a random fill and switch to a different drum pattern, there is little room for the improvisation and on-the-fly creativity a live performance often requires.

About the Author

That being said, there would still be plenty of live uses for this beat making drum machine. To read a more in-depth review of the Boss Dr. Rythm 880 drum machine, head on over to http://hiphopbeatsmaker.com and check it out.

A touch of Leri: The beliefs, attitudes and perceptions of an elementary student in Cyprus about his experiences in different music-making and learning practices. $49.99 This case study explores the music-making and learning practices of an elementary student from Cyprus in different settings, inside and outside school. The musical knowledge of the 6th grade boy was gained from a diversity of music settings that covered a broad educational spectrum from highly structured and sequential to informal and enculturative. The purpose of study was to investigate student's attitudes, beliefs and feelings concerning different learning settings; the student's perceptions of the value of music experiences in these settings; and the intersections of music learning inside and outside school. The settings were school music classes, private piano lessons, community choir rehearsals, traditional folk dance ensemble, drum exploration, and composition-arrangement at home. Three themes emerged from the data. The first theme centered around the influences from others that motivated Leri's attendance and continuation in music classes. The second theme centered around the elements inherent to the settings themselves that facilitated learning and that made Leri want to engage. The last theme focused on thoughts about his future music making and the factors that affected his plans. The participant's enjoyment and valuing of the music settings was connected to his need for active and meaningful participation through which he could express his musical ideas.

Alexis Rockman: Manifest Destiny $15 Alexis Rockman’s Manifest Destiny translates into haunting yet inspiring simplicity the environmental crisis of global warming. In conjunction with the opening of the Brooklyn museum’s new entrance pavilion in April 2004, the distinguished American artist Rockman (born 1962) was commissioned to paint a visionary 8-by-24-foot mural about the distant future boroughs. Rockman’s project suggests what geological, botanical, and zoological changes might transpire in the ecosystem of the area thousands or even millions of years ahead. Believing that the past provides clues to the future, Rockman drew from the museum’s historical paintings collection for source material, including such works as Albert Bierstadt’s A Storm in the Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rosalie (1866), a monumental Hudson River School landscape. The artist is also not without humor–humans may have drowned Brooklyn, but the world survives, and here and there, life’s indomitable spirit prevails. On top of a floating oil drum, its antennae rapt with attention, is that ineradicable symbol of eternity–the cockroach. This book looks at preliminary drawings and research by the artist for Manifest Destiny and contains a full-color foldout image of the mural. The forewords were written by Arnold Lehman and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
