Love it!
I love this thing. I had an 808 in the 80’s but sold it. Big mistake. It’s a lot smaller but still sounds great. Would recommend.

Accessible and Professional
Just about anybody can learn the basics of the Roland TR-08 drum machine. The functions are vast but operating this awesome little drum machine is easy. It should be easy to learn most of the functions with just a few short video tutorials online. There are plenty of storage segments and an A & B 16 beat drum line (each) on every storage number (12 total plus 4 fills) makes for a useful and easily accessible array of customizable patterns. I hooked up the rig via auxiliary jack to a bass guitar amp and it sounded great!This is an awesome jam tool and creative device. While it is easy to operate, it is complicated enough that you probably cannot play this very effectively at the same time as another instrument. If you pre-program your beats, dual instrument use may be possible but you may find you need a dedicated musician (or aspiring musician) to make the most of the TR-08 in context of a band. The rhythm always being perfect with a customizable exact tempo is a valuable aspect of the device. I can imagine that even young kids can figure this out and jam along with you.The unit itself has some weight and feels very well-built. Regardless of genre (I’m a rock/indie/alt guitar player), I think this is a great piece for creative fun and professional sounds. The easy-to-master user interface is a key selling point and the quality sound makes the TR-08 a great little instrument.
