Behringer is doing everything right at the moment. This is the TR-808 clone I've been waiting years for. It sounds right, looks right, and has the all important individual outs. An absolute bargain!

Behringer have got this right I have owned a Roland 808 and the behringer rd8 in my opinion is better it’s a suited and booted all singing all dancing brought up to date version of the Roland 808 with more functionality I love it

Really easy to use and sounds great. Would definitely recommend over the Roland 808, for ease of use. I’m a complete novice and got it working in a hour or so with the help of some YouTube tutorials. Can not recommend enough.

Amazing, needed a software update but great machine. Sold my tr808 that I've had since the early 80s as this actualy sounds better.

I have used TR808 machines in the past - and this is indistinguishable in sound. Importantly - unlike Roland's own new version - the sounds are analogue not digital samples.

Good build quality and very reminiscent of the old Roland 808. Brings back memories of the old and now popular drum sounds. Behringer have added a few extra treats that just add to the sound and ease of use.

Nicely made and a lot for the money, have other behringer equipment and can't fault it for the price

Great bit of kit, I’m using it to add to mixes with midi through Traktor pro 3. Love the old skool sounds, kick drum sounds great.
Great value fir money compared to the original.

Fantastic reproduction/revision of the classic Roland TR-808!
The unit is feels sturdy for the price point (will see how well it holds up over time) and has classic retro looks. Great additional features not found on the original, such as tempo display, lo/hi pass filter, and a trigger button. All the classic sounds you've heard on countless hit songs and very intuitive. At this price you can't go wrong!

Excellent re-invention of the TR-808. Easy to use, tactile, and flexible. Better size than the competition for live use with a comfortable control surface, multi out rear connections make for a great recording experience in the studio.

What's not to like at this price. A true 808 clone with updated features - including additional voice controls, midi, usb, analogue filter and transient shaper. The sequencer is very different to the original but has a lot of extra useful options including swing, flam, randomisation based on probability, also each instrument in a pattern can have any pattern length up to 64 steps. It's a great machine and sounds authentic next to a real 808. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Sounds exactly like the original, looks like it too, but the form factor and layout of the controls on this one makes it easier to use in a live situation. The unit also has a lot of extra facilities that didn't exist on the original instrument that this is based upon. Like all the other Behringer clones, this is absolutely brilliant for the money!

Sounds exactly like an 808. Individual outputs for each drum sound, hours of fun putting the kick drum through a distortion pedal. Built in sequencer pretty usable. Only downside is external wall wart power supply with flimsy cable, and it’s 18 volt so don’t get it mixed up with the 12V ones!

A cost effective analogue drum machine based on the classic Roland TR808 - and big too. Not a micro instrument like so many new machines today.

Impressed with the build quality and sound of the RD-8. The add ons also made the programming much more intuitive. Loving all the new vintage behringers a own. Thank you!

Unfortunately I have encountered some serious issues with the Behringer RD8. In particular the midi implementation is very poor. I can't fault the sound quality or build of the unit but midi implementation via standard midi cable is laggy to the point of unusable. I have taken up this issue with Behringer's 3rd party customer service supplier. This issue is unresolved b and the machine is back in its packaging as it cannot be used until these sync issues are resolved.
