ROLAND Rythm Partner Drum Machine

The DR-01S Rhythm Partner, the first synthetic percussionist ever made specifically for acoustic performers, is now available. Unlike the rhythm machines used by electronic musicians and DJs, the DR-01S is loaded with real percussion sounds and simple, flexible patterns that pleasantly enhance the unplugged experience. It works equally well with ukulele, violin, piano, and other acoustic instruments as it does with vocals and acoustic guitar.

The user-friendly interface of the DR-01S makes it easy to adjust the beats and variations to meet any style, and the built-in speaker generates a high-quality sound that blends well with acoustic instruments. Additionally, you can take your rhythm companion with you everywhere you go because it is battery-operated. Whether you play alone or with friends, the creative DR-01S provides a new level of enjoyment.
