Boss DR-660
Although the DR-550 drum machine was a great improvement over the drum sounds from the Yamaha keyboard, it had a limited number of kits to choose from. So after two and a half years, it was set aside and the DR-660 was purchased in late 1992.
The DR-660 put in over ten years of service before its internal battery finally died. Hundreds of songs were recorded with this unit. It provided many more drum kits and programmable patterns than the DR-550. It also included bass sounds so an entire rhythm section could be programmed. And this one could be backed up via MIDI cables to a computer (as opposed to the cassette deck back-up method of the DR-550).
And now with drum loops and built-in drum machines, the computer has replaced the DR-660. The Studio can now use the drum machine sounds of the 80's and 90's or loops that sound like real drums from within one program on the computer.
