The Boss DR-110 is a cute little analogue drum machine from the early 80s.
The overall sound is reminiscent to the much praised Tr-808 and Tr-606. The kick is punchier than the 606, but the hats and cymbals will provide you that instant acid factor and the snare is also very snappy. The clap is similar to the 808's one, so you're right by thinking that the DR-110 will give you that classic, sought-after sound but with some slight difference and much character.
As the Dr-110 has few sounds (but all are killer !), i made two kits out of it : one rather clean, and another one pushing the tubes of the preamp and the compressor in the red, so you get a bit more dirt and warmth.
As always with WaveShaper sample packs, you can decide to use the free kit or buy the “pro” one : The "pro" pack uses 24bit/48khz, stereo Wav files, and cost 0.80$. The free pack is made out of standard 44,1khz-16bit mono Wav files.
