Today I am giving a user review of the new Behringer RD-9 Analog Drum Machine.
The RD-9 is an affordable re-issue of the Roland TR-909 all-analog circuitry.
With some updated functionality.
This is not another typical audio comparison video, nor tutorial.
How does it sound?
Whats the design, construction quality and workflow like?
Do I like the features?
How does it compare to other analog drum machines currently available?
I'll break it all down for you right here, right now.

![Behringer RD-6 [USER REVIEW] Analog Drum Machine](/img/n.gif)
Just got my RD-9 yesterday. This thing is a beast. My drum machine collection is complete. Behringer owns my money.
i have a RD-9 and a self built Steda SR-909 as well. guess which one is my favorite?!
.....SR-909
.
@@tB3o3tR9o9 Cute. Guess which one I got to play with straight out the box and helped me buy a pretty much new TR-727 in the box within 20 days of me receiving it.......The RD-9. Two drum machines for the price of one. Even your pockets said, "Daaamn!"
I ordered one of these recently, cant wait for it to get here!!!
Thank you for your excellent review.
I ordered mine in June 2021... And... I'm finally about to receive it... TOMORROW... It's 2am30 I cannot sleep... I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve who dreamed during one year about his absolute ultimate dream of toy and cannot wait the morning...
I'm 42 yo, just came out hôpital yesterday from big surgery and today when I received the delivery email for tomorrow, I swear I cried...
I mean... Life is so hard sometimes... This email was like a gift from God to me.
Thanks a lot for your video!
Big salut from France 🇫🇷
ViNZ.
So what do you think of it?
@@lesbianmustardbottle957 I'm fucking fell in LOVE with it.
I mean SERIOUSLY
The sound of every instrument is so good........
You cannot reproduce that with an digital machine.
Analog drums are really something unique, it's pure it's punchy it sounds rich and full, but more than that, I repeat myself, it sounds RIGHT.
And even the digital part of instruments (hi hats cymbals...) are really really top notch.
Plus the analog filter is very good, all the new features are so good... This is a dream of real 909, with crazy new good features, MIDI...........
I swear this is always the first machine of my rig I turn on and play every time....
I fuckin love it.
We can think what we want about Behringer, but now they are giving us the machines we were dreaming since so so long, for a crazy good price, in a good quality.
I mean, why all the pioneer brands don't do that?? This is what we wanted since decades!!
@@1980VINZ I am very happy for you. Hopefully they make more and soon. These things are almost as hard to get as a Playstation 5. I must get rid of my DrumBrute. While it is cook, I just can't get past the weird bass drum(s). Too odd of a sound. err "Unique".
Hope you are doing well! Mine came this morning. This is so much better than my Drum Brute. The unit feels very solid as well.
This is going to sell hellllaaaa units. been dying for one of these for so long. Tried a lot of the other similar machines and sold em all.
Been waiting 4 months for my pre-order. Got it the day of my last final. This school-break will be legendary
DAMN THIS IS PERFECT!!! so fast, so clear! thanks man!
Got the rd-8 and it's so awesome, goning to need this big time
Yes please! Nice demo too!
Thx for the review. I almost bought the pair of RD-8 and RD-9 but a used Elektron Rytm mk1 came up for less than the price of the pair and it takes up a quarter of the space. I love it. Maybe next month I'll buy the RD-8 and RD-9 ;)
I don't understand what so good is on Elektron gear .
@@NTRSN-Archive some people like to work one way, others another. politics and potential intellectual property infringement aside, the new behringers are all great. i own many of them. but they are also decidedly backward looking, retreading what has already been done. the elektrons are very future looking. in terms of value, you could argue that, for example, these new behringer drum machines are great value, and they certainly are relative to what you would pay for the real thing, but people are getting caught up in this limited perception of what value means more than actually considering the returns. each of these new behringer clones are rather one-trick ponies, good as they are at their respective trick. but they certainly are not versatile. the elektron gear is very much geared to get people making songs, each with very good onboard sequencer. productivity is top of their benefits. I could make a full song on my elektron analog rytm alone. same with my digitakt. same with my analog four. these new behringer drum machines can't do much more than repeat some basic loops. and their synths can't do much of anything by themselves. i've got over a dozen of the new behringers and they are great, but also among my least used gear.
Great review
I do like the hands on controls with these units, I have my MC-307 combined with my Vermona DRM for analog weight but programming the groovebox takes so much effort for precise sounds. Behringer are doing great things for us synth lovers, I am looking forward to there Linn replica with sampling! That be my next Drum machine for sure. Hope u get to try that one too!
Yep. I'll be keen to try the Behringer LmDrum, right now I'm using Digitakt for eprom box sounds and it sounds very good.
I own the RD-6, RD-8 and RD-9. I love them all.
Same here, each have their thang goin' on.
Thx for the great vid!
Great video dude! New subscriber ✌🏻
I love this thing. So amazing. Too bad they are out of stock everywhere. I was lucky enough to snag one as soon as Sweetwater got them back in stock.
They are back in stock. Got an email on Wednesday, ordered it Thursday and got it on Monday right after Christmas.
@@georgegeez8708 as of februrary 2022, they're out of stock again. I just found about the RD-8 and RD-9's existence so i missed it. Hopefully i can snag one the next time they're back. Might get the RD-8 before then
great review! Definitly want one noW!! :)
Go for it!
"It's dope" is a sure fire selling point for me 🤘🏾⚡
I bought this out of spite and absaloutely love it! The spite being when I was young I salivated over the Roland, never could afford one! Well now, “Up yours!!!” Lol, If you want to make it interesting add PO’s to it. I have tons of top of the line, but adding an office sound with chords from the Factory is just useless but silly fun! Peace
It’s Dope. 👍
all respect to behringer!
Can I plug in my bass into the return input and hear it mixed with the drums? Thanks!
👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Are you still using your RD9? I got mine early this year and then got my first MPC a few months later. So I’ve been focused just on thoroughly learning the MPC. And now I’m wondering if I should get the RD9out of the closet and see if it makes sense to use it with the MPC.
Still have it and will be keeping it. Like to change up percussion uses on various tracks. My main drum machine is a Digitakt. But also bought a couple of old bricked eprom machines that I'll be refurbishing and using in the arsenal.
how do you trigger the sound by tapping the instrument select buttons?
I'm on a mission to get my Yamaha DTX E-set to send individual analog pad signals into my mixer into my DAW. The closest I got to this was via midi but the midi signal is too inconsistent. My question is...will this machine accept the midi input signal from my DTX and separate each signal to then send the analog individual outs?
I bet they make a 808 909 all in one box next!
Great review. does the rd 9 output it's notes though ?
Midiox connected thru USB, pattern playback will send the note data.
I think yes the rd8 rd6 are doing it . Note numbers can be changed .
@@NTRSN-Archive Hey Thanks :)
@@atommachine i checked it out on the Rd8 and you have to push "Settings" The 16 step buttons flashing and you have to push "Map" and you see all the drumsound buttons lighting up and when you take bassdrum for example you see a note number (here is bd nr 36) . The note number can be changed with data encoder .they can be send out via midi and usb ;)
@@NTRSN-Archive Brilliant, thanks very much !
Shaftpalooza, that’s what she said. Nice review.
lol, thanks!
i have a RD-9 and a self built Steda SR-909 as well. guess which one is my favorite?!
.....SR-909
they should of added the distortion that makes those kicks more interesting
I can't get my FX and Wave Designer to work :(
Does it have the equivalent of the Roland's A, B, C, D, E, etc... (8 pattern buttons)?
Do you mean the Roland virtual plug-in? The RD-9 has 16-patterns within each of the 16 available songs. Hope that helps.
The pattern lenght can be 4 x 16 steps. 16 patterns per song and there are 16 songs .
@@NTRSN-Archive Thank you
is this available anywhere?
Brand new, not that I can see. Might keep an eye out for used one on Reverb or Ebay.
Still not out yet
i miss volume Faders.
No love for the OG drumbrute? 😂😂😂. Well, it sounds like a full mix between an 808 and a 909.
Bad baouy
Great review
Thanks for checking it out :D
