Boss DR-670 Dr. Rhythm Drum Machine

This compact and affordable drum machine incorporates the waveforms and patterns of the flagship DR-770, while adding features musicians have been asking for: velocity-sensitive pads, a new Bass part, a pad interface designed to emulate a bass guitar fretboard, footswitch control of start/stop and fill-ins, plus Roland's popular Direct Pattern Play function for triggering patterns "on the fly" from the drum pads.

Feature:
It really sucks that it doesn't come with an AC adapter.

Quality:
Good Quality.

Value:
Definitely worth the money.

Desirability:
The pads can be a little bigger, they are way too small.

Sound:
I tell you what, I have mines hooked up to a Peavy amplifier supported by stereo speakers and it sounds awesome. So if it's live music your looking for then this is definitely what you need. It's not a MPC2000 OR 4000 but it gets the job done if you know how to make beats.

Ease of Use:
The most drum machine friendly.

Support:
Haven't had to use it yet so I guess that speaks for it.

Overall:
I got this product to prepare myself for the next step, MPC 2000.

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.

Feature:
Bad- Volume control in back. Have to hold down the tempo tap button and rotate the large knob to adjust tempo.

Quality:
After 3 months of owning this (I bought it new), I get an errors message ("bak battery low"). This infers that the battery used to store user information is low. I only use this unit for home use and have only used the presets (haven't stored any of my own stuff yet). This pisses me off in that I now have to take the unit back to the dealer to get a new battery installed.

Desirability:
If I had to do it over again, I would look at a different unit. Possibly something made by Yamaha. Always had good luck with their equipment.

Support:
Really don't know at this point. Will find out when I take unit in to get battery replaced.
