#808s

"The 808 is one of the most iconic sounds in modern music. It’s incredible that a drum sound that was created in the 80s is still so consistently used and sought after today.

You’ll hear 808s in pretty much every trap track in existence. It’s used extensively in pop music and most other forms of electronic music too.

808s are a type of electronic percussion sample that originates from the Roland TR-808 drum machine. They’re characterized by a punchy low-end subby-ness that is easily tunable to different pitches.

The original TR-808 comprised programmable kick, snare, low tom, mid tom, hi tom, clap, cowbell, open hi-hat, closed hi-hat, low conga, mid conga, hi conga, clave, rimshot, maracas and cymbal sounds.

808s are based on static noise that is carefully sound designed to electronically re-create the strike of a beater and resonating drum head.

Generally, that means a loud attack and a quick resonating decay.

But today, 808 drums don’t always sound like the original 808s of the TR-808.

Producers have spent a lot of time twisting and sculpting the classic sounds into their own versions, adding distortion, playing with attack and decay, adding compression and more.

Just search 808 on an online sample market and you’ll hear hundreds of different versions."
