Neat little rhythm drum/percussion unit for acoustic instruments. Boss DR-01S

This is a nice little addition to your toolkit if you play alot of acoustic guitar.

I like the onboard instruments that match well to acoustic performance and that you don't have to fanny around with leads and amps etc when you just want to have a quick musical session.

A lot of functionality for a £215.

That looks to be a fun toy, I'd seriously consider one at a little less money.

Wot? No 5/4, 7/8, 9/8 or other compound signatures?

I tried one out but found the sound to be too boxy. It's very flexible in how you can arrange the internal instrument rhythms but like you say @Funkfingers the lack of time signatures is quite limiting.

I appreciate the value of a rhythmic accompaniment device to song writers but, in this age of home computing, how much is a drum/percussion plug-in software instrument?

Obviously the idea of this is an easy to use unit an acoustic player can just carry around and switch on with faffing about with leads, speakers etc  so as a idea I think it's great, just not as well implemented as I would have hoped for.
