Wonderful machine
This really is a wonderful machine. Great functionality and gets those classic 909 sounds i to your hands.
The workflow seemed daunting at first, particularly all of the settings menu items but it really is very easy to use. Don't forget to enable autosave to avoid disappointment. Solid build quality and great style.
In the end I discovered I prefer the 808 sound, but believe me this machine is fantastic.

A GREAT DrumMachine but... it's not a TR-909!
The Behringer RD-9 is a fantastic drum machine that delivers on both performance and value. As a musician I was looking for a drum machine that could emulate classic drum sounds while also offering modern features.
First off, the build quality is impressive. It feels sturdy and durable, perfect for both studio use and live performances. The layout is intuitive, making it easy to navigate and tweak sounds on the fly. Plus, the inclusion of MIDI connectivity adds versatility to my setup.
Sound-wise, the RD-9 nails it. The analog circuitry delivers warm and punchy sounds reminiscent of classic drum machines, yet it also offers the flexibility to sculpt and shape your own unique sounds. The range of presets is impressive, covering everything from crisp hi-hats to booming kick drums.
One of the standout features for me is the sequencer. It's incredibly powerful yet straightforward to use, allowing me to create complex rhythms with ease. I appreciate the ability to chain patterns together and create full-length tracks without any hassle.
Overall, the Behringer RD-9 is a must-have for any musician or producer looking to add authentic drum sounds to their setup. With its combination of quality construction, versatile sound engine, and intuitive interface, it's become an essential part of my studio rig. Highly recommended! But it lacks the imperfections and feeling of the old Roland TR-909... RD-9 it's 'too' good and complete to be the acclaimed 909!

Excellent sound!
I never had a real 909 and was always working with samples. Thanks to Behringer I finally got my hands on the hardware version which seems to me very faithful to the original. The material is a very hard plastic and everything seems sturdy and well made. Congratulations to Behringer, we’re living in the “analog Renaissance”!

Just ok... Better use samples
Nice for those who are obsessed with 909 drum machine. Personally I think this machine to big and the sequencer is not even close to those in the market today. I understand it is a clone of a classic but a little originality will upgrade any classic insturment.
I got my sample pack in a Digitakt and its much better now.

This machine sounds amazing! the added features really bring out the sound to the next level! It came packaged very well and I had a groove immediately right out of the box thanks to the very intuitive and simple layout!

Overall nice remake, feels a little cheap though
Being a big fan of the 909 sound, I was excited about the Behringer clone. Unfortunately, even though the sound is there, the unit's overall "cheap feeling" makes it a lot less fun to use than I had hoped for. The knobs are pretty stiff and the buttons also feel like they might need some oil. As always, great service from Thomann though!

It works and I do not need to spend $5000 for the real thing
The sound is there if you tweek it a bit. I had 2 custom built TR-909 and acces to a real one. The diference is slight but the price of the RD-9 is unbeatable.
