Anybody use the Roland R-8 for 808 drums? I seem to remember reading that it has some of the best 808's around but now when i try to search it don't find much info. I got an opportunity to get one with the 808 and 909 cards. I have a novation drum station but honestly have some better samples in my akai. Can anyone shed any light on how the R-8 sounds for 808's?
