While the DR-670 features new velocity-sensitive pads and a large LCD with fixed tempo display, most notable is the all-new 12-voice sound engine derived from the flagship DR-770. In total, there are 255 amazing drum and percussion waveforms grouped into 64 Preset and 64 User kits. In addition, the DR-670 features a new Bass part and an intuitive bass guitar-style interface for programming basslines using 16 distinct sounds including Finger Bass, Slap Bass, Acoustic Bass, Pick Bass, and more.

The DR-670's 200 Preset patterns provide a quick and easy way to incorporate realistic drum and percussion into songs and live performance. Carefully programmed to capture the nuances of a real drummer, these outstanding patterns cover a wide range of styles from Rock and Pop to Fusion, Jazz, Latin, Dance, World, and more. And with the DR-670's Direct Pattern Play function, any of these patterns can be instantly selected using the drum pads. Up to 200 User patterns can also be programmed using the onboard sequencer. Preset and User patterns can then be easily chained to create up to 100 Songs.

While the DR-670 is at home with songwriters and studio musicians, it can also be used for live drum and bass accompaniment. And with its Direct Pattern Play and optional footswitch control over start/stop and fill-ins, the DR-670 is hard to beat as an affordable and programmable accompaniment tool. In fact, this compact drum machine is small enough to be taken just about anywhere and can even run on battery power.

Connections to the DR-670 include 1/4 in. stereo outputs, a stereo Headphone output (stereo mini-jack type), Pedal Switch input, plus MIDI In and Out jacks.

Boss DR-670 Dr. Rhythm Drum Machine Reviews

"Good bread and butter drum machine if you can't find a drummer."
Feature:
This should sell with an AC adapter. Having said that, it's fairly feature laden.

Quality:
It seems fairly well built. No problems so far, and I've had it for at least a couple years.

Value:
It's a little pricey at $295, considering its age and other options now available. But if you need one, this is a good and versatile unit.

Desirability:
It may not be too sexy.

Sound:
If you hunt, you can find good sounds and modify them a bit so they don't sound totally canned. I wish there were better high hat options and more electronic drum sounds. Kick drums and snares sound fairly good.

Support:
No need.

Overall:
If you can't find a real drummer and need something just to carry the beat, this will do the job. Read the manual, be aware of features that help minimize that robo-drummer sound (if you don't want that sound), and use it thoughtfully. It can be great for the right types of songs and lousy for others. It's fairly versatile and even fun to play with. If you want to store whole songs on this unit, find a paper and write down your settings. Otherwise you'll forget which song and kit you stored where.
