Unlike the rhythm machines used by electronic musicians and DJs, the DR-01S is packed with organic percussion sounds and simple, versatile grooves that tastefully complement the unplugged experience. It’s an ideal companion for acoustic guitar and vocals, and just as powerful with ukulele, violin, piano, and other types of acoustic instruments. Review: Acompañamiento a medida, con posibilidad de hacer variaciones en directo mediante pedal (comprar a parte) y con 50 presets. Totalmente editable por grupos de percusión. Muy bueno y fácil de utilizar Review: Really useful bit of kit. Plug into a P.A. and it sounds great! The built in speaker is fine for home practicing. I just plugged in an old keyboard foot switch to control stop/start which saved a few pounds on buying a Boss one. The rhythm is set throughout the song so not suitable for songs with varied time signatures or breaks, but pick your songs carefully and the variation in instrument sounds make this one of the easiest and best drum machines around for live performance. ## Features - Great-sounding, easy-to-use rhythm box designed for acoustic musicians - Filled with simple, tasteful grooves to support and enhance unplugged music styles - Seven simultaneous instrument categories include everything from tambourines, shakers, and congas to full drum set, sound effects, standard metronome, and many other sounds - Aux input enables use as a speaker for a smartphone or other audio player - Powered by six AA-size batteries or included AC adapter.Instant backing group! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075NZTM94 | | Body Material | Plastic | | Brand Name | BOSS | | Color | grey" or "black | | Connector Type | Usb Type B, Usb Type A | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (404) | | Finish Type | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00761294511565, 04957054511562 | | Included Components | bag | | Item Dimensions | 27.9 x 20.3 x 15.2 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Rhythm Partner | | Item Weight | 1.33 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Roland | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | BOSS DR 01S | | Model Number | DR-01S | | Part Number | DR-01S | | UPC | 761294511565 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BOSS - **Colour:** grey" or "black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 27.9 x 20.3 x 15.2 centimeters - **Material:** Plastic - **Model name:** BOSS DR 01S ## Images ![DR-01S Rhythm Partner For Acoustic Musicians - a CompaniOn For Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610rvLYGmKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***E on 6 February 2025* Acompañamiento a medida, con posibilidad de hacer variaciones en directo mediante pedal (comprar a parte) y con 50 presets.

Ich benutze ihn zum Üben für mich allein und beim Spielen unseres Ensembles zB in kleinen Kirchen, wenn nicht viel Platz ist. Ich habe lange überlegt und viele Bewertungen gelesen, bevor ich ihn gekauft habe, aber ich habe es nicht bereut und bin sehr zufrieden! ## Frequently Bought Together - Boss DR-01S Rhythm Partner - Boss FS-6 Dual Foot Switch - Boss FS-7 Dual Foot Switch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/280136927-dr-01s-rhythm-partner-for-acoustic-musicians-a-companion-acoustic](https://www.desertcart.us/products/280136927-dr-01s-rhythm-partner-for-acoustic-musicians-a-companion-acoustic) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
