About this listing
The Boss DR-220E Dr. Rhythm is the electronic-oriented version of the DR-220 series, released in the mid-1980s. Compact, reliable, and immediate, it delivers classic electronic and synthetic drum sounds that became staples in electro, early house, synth-pop, and minimal setups.Unlike the DR-220A (acoustic version), the DR-220E focuses on electronic percussion, making it especially appealing for vintage electronic music production and hardware-based rigs.Key Features11 PCM drum/percussion voices (12-bit) + AccentReal-time play grid (4×3 miniature pads, non-velocity / non-pressure sensitive)32 preset patterns + 32 user patterns (retained in memory after power-off)Pattern length up to 16 steps (12 steps in 3/4 mode)Programming: real-time recording or step-by-step entryPer-voice Accent (0–5) and Volume (0–5) settingsSong mode: patterns can be chained into songs up to 128 bars (or 256 using Song Chain), with memory for up to 8 songsTempo range: 40–250 BPMNo MIDI, but sync/control via two 3.5 mm jacks (one DR-220 can control/be controlled by another, or by external trigger/sequencer sources)Trigger output: +5V DC pulse (max 8 ms)Trigger input: recognizes +5V to +15VNote: using CV control “steals” one voice from the master unit (hardware limitation)Sound set (DR-220E / electronic percussion)Electronic percussion samples with a character often compared to early electronic drum aesthetics (including Simmons-style tones):LT (Low Tom)MT (Medium Tom)HT (High Tom)CHY (China Cymbal)CB (Cowbell)SLP (Vibraslap)CH (Closed Hi-Hat)OH (Open Hi-Hat)BD (Bass Drum / Kick)SD (Snare)CUP (Cup Cymbal)Condition and functionalitySuper clean cosmetic conditionFully tested and perfectly functionalAll buttons, patterns, outputs, and memory functions work as expectedDisplay is clear and fully readableVery well preserved unit for its ageWhat is includedBoss DR-220E Dr. Rhythm (silver version)Original Casio soft protective pouchNo power supply required (battery operated)Shipping informationBefore placing your order, please contact me so we can determine the most secure and economical shipping option.
