It sounded like an 80s drum machine. Then my wife bought me one as a present 15 years ago. Complicated and clunky to use and it was all Crash, Boom, Bam. Then I recently heard about this one. First of all, I’m a fan of Boss products. I have their Acoustic Singer Live amp and it is fantastic. Watched some videos and read reviews. My wife gave me a gift card for my birthday, so I sprung for this. It is fabulous. Organic, acoustic sounds (no crash, boom, bang) SUPER EASY user interface, lots of variety, as many as seven instruments at a time (if you count the metronome - you can choose a nice wood block sound). I was able to start using this right away and with quick glances at the very clear manual, I was navigating my way around. I used it for a livestream show the first week I had it. It’s so much fun to play along with, I’ve been playing more. You know how they say “practice with a metronome”? Well, I never could because it was boring. But with this I get a steady beat that is fun to play along with. With the Boss unit holding a rhythm, I’m taking more chances, trying more licks and fills. By adding rhythm parts I have found that some songs that have eluded me, that didn’t (at least with my abilities) come off well on an acoustic guitar, now made sense, sounded full (but not too “canned” or orchestrated). I play a lot of Americana/folk/country and most times a simple cajon rhythm is all I need. I’ve added simple rhythms to songs that I normally just fingerpick. The rhythm partner gives plenty of options to add something subdued and tasteful that doesn’t overwhelm the finger picking. Okay, corny as it sounds, Rhythm Partner is really the right name. It works as a partner, so smoothly and easily, I don’t know if I’ll ever want to play without it. I should add that I bought the Boss FS-6 foot pedal so I could control it hands free. The pedal seems expensive for a dual latching controller, but it’s worth it. The Rhythm Buddy gives you lots of options for pedal settings: instrument trigger, fade out, etc. Once again, just an example of the thought that went into the device. I have the right switch set for start/stop, and the left for tap tempo in case I need a beat on the fly. Just a great rig altogether. Review: Fantastic drum. machine for acoustic guitarists - Easy to use with realistic percussion sounds, unlike many computer drum machines that sound a bit manufactured. I plug it into my Bose S1 (actually sits nicely on top of the S1) and use a Boss foot pedal to control the count and fade out feature. Great purchase! ## Features - Great-sounding, easy-to-use rhythm box designed for acoustic musicians - Filled with simple, tasteful grooves to support and enhance unplugged music styles - Convenient all-in-one design with high-quality integrated sound system - User-friendly interface for selecting instrument types and grooves, adjusting volume and tempo, and more - Seven simultaneous instrument categories include everything from tambourines, shakers, and congas to full drum set, sound effects, standard metronome, and many other sounds - Dedicated patterns in each instrument category, with the ability to layer patterns from all categories together in real time - Save 50 favorite rhythm combinations for quick recall - Control various functions and trigger sounds hands-free with optional footswitches - Line out for connecting to an acoustic guitar amp or larger sound system - Aux input enables use as a speaker for a smartphone or other audio player ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075NZTM94 | | Body Material | Plastic | | Brand Name | BOSS | | Connector Type | Usb Type B, Usb Type A | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (347) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00761294511565, 04957054511562 | | Included Components | AC adaptor, AUX IN cable, LINE OUT cable, optional footswitches | | Item Dimensions | 11 x 8 x 6 inches | | Item Type Name | DR-01S | | Item Weight | 1.33 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | BOSS | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | Rhythm Partner | | Model Number | DR-01S | | Part Number | DR-01S | | UPC | 761294511565 | | Warranty Description | See manufacuter for details. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BOSS - **Item Weight:** 1.33 Kilograms - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 11 x 8 x 6 inches - **Material:** Plastic - **Model Name:** Rhythm Partner ## Images ![DR-01S Rhythm Partner (DR-01S) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610rvLYGmKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely LOVE This Thing! *by R***Y on July 24, 2020* Had a drum machine in the 80s.

Great purchase! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a unique rhythm "partner". *by P***N on May 6, 2022* To call this unit a "drum machine" is not to do it justice. It is unlike any drum I've ever seen or used. It is more like a true percussion set. It does have a drum setting, if you so choose. But in addition it has a myriad of acoustical sounds. From conga's to tambourines to shakers/maracas (and more), this unit provides rhythms without the usual drum machine sounds. ## Frequently Bought Together - Boss DR-01S Rhythm Partner - Boss FS-6 Dual Foot Switch - Boss FS-7 Dual Foot Switch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/118679831-dr-01s-rhythm-partner-dr-01s](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/118679831-dr-01s-rhythm-partner-dr-01s) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
