About This Listing

The Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer is a drum machine introduced by the Roland Corporation in 1983. It succeeded the TR-808, and was the first Roland drum machine to use samples for some sounds. It was also the first Roland drum machine with MIDI functionality, allowing it to synchronize with other devices. Though it was a commercial failure, the 909 became influential in the development of electronic dance music genres such as techno, house and acid.The first known commercial use of a 909 is on the album Remission by Skinny Puppy, released months after the 909 launch. In the late 1980s, the 909 was popularized by producers in Chicago and Detroit such as Derrick May, Frankie Knuckles and Jeff Mills, who bought second-hand units. As it was the first Roland drum machine to use MIDI, producers used the 909 as a hub to synchronize and sequence other machines, which Roland had not anticipated.The 909 has also been used in rock and alternative music; Mark Bell used it to create "militaristic" percussion for BjΓΆrk's 1997 song "Hunter",and Radiohead used it on "Videotape", from their 2007 album In Rainbows. Mixmag described the American DJ and composer Jeff Mills as the "master" of the 909.
