SKU: DR-01S

Product Description

Introducing the DR-01S Rhythm Partner, the world’s first virtual percussionist designed specifically for acoustic musicians. Unlike the rhythm machines used by electronic musicians and DJs, the DR-01S is packed with organic percussion sounds and simple, versatile grooves that tastefully complement the unplugged experience.

It’s an ideal companion for acoustic guitar and vocals, and just as powerful with ukulele, violin, piano, and other types of acoustic instruments.

The friendly interface on the DR-01S makes it easy to cater beats and variations to suit any style, while the onboard speaker provides high-quality sound that blends perfectly with acoustic instruments. And with battery-powered operation, you can take your rhythm partner everywhere you go. Whether playing solo or with friends, the inspiring DR-01S brings a new level of enjoyment to all your acoustic music sessions.

Mr Brian Cooper9th Feb 2024

This machine is really good, but it so lacks potential. 1) needs a wi-fi / bluetooth connection. 2) thousands of combinations and not one paper list of button sound! Like a 'POD 6' without a manual

This unit is fantastic - great sounds and easy to use. I'm in the process of learning how to connect a pedal and I know it will give me hours of fun playing along with my guitar.

Nice design, easy to use menu. Sounds good especially through an ext amplifier. Ideal for practice and enhancing acoustic playing

Mr Derek Overy26th Oct 2020

Great rhythms for acoustic styles, convenient size, and if you're using a Godin solid bodied "acoustic" you can plug it in for home practice. Only thing lacking is MIDI sync if you wish to add it to a recording. But full marks for sheer ease of use !
