Best of 2023: The Roland TR-909 drum machine, like other pieces of now iconic Roland gear, was not embraced by the masses when it came out. It received mixed reviews, and like the TB-303 before it, Roland scrapped its production after making just 10,000 units. Of course, history now sees the 909 in a different light.

The 909 was Roland's third rhythm composer. Launched exactly 35 years ago, it followed two other significant machines: the TR-808, probably the most used drum machine in the last 40 years of music, and the TR-606, which was made to partner up with Roland's TB-303 (a bass synthesiser that accidentally gave us the famous acid sound).
