Give your 80s digital drum machine a new lease of life with funky Roland TR-808 drum sounds!

Drumtraks circuit board

High fidelity 24bit 48KHz samples of a Roland TR-808 were used to carefully prepare these sound EPROMs for you.


Drumtraks sound EPROMs

EPROM 5 is for the Perc 1 DrumTraks EPROM socket. EPROM 6 and EPROM 7 are for the Perc 2 DrumTraks EPROM socket. Please note that either EPROM 6 or EPROM 7 can be fitted at a time although both EPROMs will be supplied to you.

PERC1 on the Drumtraks is Claps and Tambourine in that order but for the 808 kit EPROMs this will be Claps and Cowbell. PERC2 on the Drumtraks is Cowbell and Cabasa. This will be either Clave and Maracas or Low and High Conga depending on which EPROM you put in that chip socket.

Furthermore, the original Crash cymbal will not be replaced by this EPROM set as there is no Crash cymbal on a TR-808.

Audio examples

OK that's all well and good but how does it sound?

These demos were made by Smoov -E - a brilliant funky rap hip-hop artist. Please check out his website and his MySpace site. Thank you.

Installation Instructions

You will need a small screw driver. Lever each end a little at a time alternately until it’s free enough to pick up by hand. Note where the notch on the EPROM is as you need to put each EPROM back in the same way. Make sure you don’t bend any pins in both pulling the old ones out and putting the new ones in. Some force will be needed to put the new ones in but if it’s a lot then a pin is probably not located in the socket properly. You may need to find the rogue pin and tweak it slightly with a screwdriver. It should go in with a smooth movement if everything is OK.
