This famous drum beat is everywhere! 🥁 Fun fact: 808 beats originally came from the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which was released in 1980. Despite its initial commercial failure due to its "unrealistic" drum sounds, the 808 became iconic in hip-hop and electronic music. Its deep, booming bass and distinctive snare and hi-hat sounds have become a staple in music production, shaping entire genres and earning the 808 a legendary status in the music industry. 🎶 This is why I'm in love with 808! �
