Bad Gear - Boss DR-3 Dr. Rhythm - Doctor Getting Worse???

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Boss DR-3 Dr. Rhythm digital drum machine. We liked (most of) its predecessors but is this more recent model any good? Is the doctor getting worse?

I gigged with this for over 10 years. It worked like a dream for this piano bar entertainer. More punchy and fat sounding than the Alesis SR-16/SR-18 . I did however mute the bass part and used the bass sounds on my Motif and Roland RD pianos. The song/user style section was good for making gig lists. I had structured it so that I had four sets of songs ready, and I had the first 3 user styles as general-purpose ones to be able to requests on the fly - even mid-song, which the fill to new style undocumented feature does amazingly.

[@AudioPilz]

This was probably the intended use. Great to hear it worked for you

[@gordocojones]

Mine finally went to drum machine heaven yesterday. I always thought it was a good machine. I wished there were more bass voices, but it was a pretty reliable unit overall. I've got an Alesis 18 on order. Hopefully that will work out.

[@slowjamer]

This is a drum machine for the solo live performing musicians, it can’t be compared to modern drum machines since all of modern drum machines are mostly made for production or electronic music and not for live performance, this one is in its own category, I love having 3 variations with 3 fills at the touch of a button plus intro and and ending buttons, I own 2 and use them to play live, I play in bars and restaurants and this baby works awesome for that, I wish Roland made more advance version of this one that would allow me to save the data and transfer it to a second drum machine or to have a backup, to this date I have not seen another drum machine that would be this easy to use during a live performance sometimes improvising songs that the audience asks me to play if anyone knows of another please replay and let me know :-)

[@neilsmith9473]

As an amateur guitarist and past open mic host, this little unit has served me well but I only ever used the drum function with the recommended dual footswitch. For that kind of use, the unit is absolutely fantastic and is still going strong after many years. Being able to trigger the fill while paying through the beat pattern transitions is a lot of fun and the unit sounds pretty acceptable through an amp. Great for guitarists and keyboard players. I feel that I've had my money's worth out of this little unit many times over. A great review though by a highly technical reviewer, which I found very interesting. Informative and a lot of fun to watch. Thank you for a great post.

[@Schwarzenpooh]

Yup, I've got one and for a while video tutorials for this unit were the most viewed videos on my channels. Gigged with it couple of times. It was great, especially with the ability to switch patterns with a foot switch. Also I used to dump drum and bass parts from my daw to the dr3 via midi. That's simple. The only con I can come up with is the lack of electronic hats. Only acoustic ones and it sucks!

[@AudioPilz]

Sending the parts over from the daw via midi is a great idea. I will use it in a future episode! Thanks!

[@MorningLightMountain]

I use a DR-3 a fair bit. I set up my own user kit (you have to vol balance all the different samples as you mentioned) and a user 'soundshape' EQ and just control it via midi. I like a lot of the drum samples, and the bass samples can be fun for cheese and retro stuff.

i already plugged the DR-5 and Better(?) Gear DR-660 last time and i want to mention them again, but more importantly i'd love to see you explore the alesis QS6/QS7 or another quadrasynth model. when i was 16 making industrial music, all the rich kids online had a kurzweil K2000/ensoniq ASR-10 while a lot of somewhat less affluent kids with supportive parents had the QS6/7. these completely avoided any recognizable musical relevance, yet at one time it seemed they were everywhere. i used one only briefly, but i had the impression that it was pretty legit for a 90s ROMpler. alesis also had the nanosynth and i've often thought about getting one, at least to sample any nice sounds and sell/donate.

[@robertjacobs9445]

I was loaned one when my SR-18 died and at first I thought that this was an unusable dumbed down POS. Then I revisited some tracks I'd recorded with the SR-18 and found that I got perfectly decent drum tracks by using the intro/fill/part buttons. The ambience actually helped the drums to sit in the mixes. But yeah, the UI is crap and you can't seem to tune the samples. I've been using Boss drum machines since the late 80's and this one has the worst sequencing of all of them. Nowadays I write MIDI drum parts directly into Reaper's MIDI editor and I've poached all of the sounds I could out of every drum machine available. That's the best of all worlds.
