Upper Midwest: 1-3 days
Central US, South East US, and East Coast: 2-4 days
West Central US: 3-5 days
West Coast: 4-6 days
Alaska & Hawaii: 7+ days
All transit times are based in business days. Please allow 4-7 business days for most freight delivery service shipments. Business days are Monday through Friday and do not include public holidays and weekends (Saturday/Sunday.) For questions regarding estimates to your specific location, please contact us at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368.
When will my order ship?
Most in-stock orders will ship within one business day. Oversize instruments that ship with our freight delivery service may require an extra business day or two to be prepped for shipment.
In order to keep the online ordering experience safe and secure, all expedited orders, orders shipping to an address other than the billing, and orders with incorrect billing information are held for review. These orders may require additional verification and confirmation prior to shipping. We will contact you as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary delays, so keep an eye on your phone and email.
When will I receive my tracking information?
Tracking emails are automatically sent to you after the order has shipped. If you didn't receive the email, be sure to check your Junk or Spam folders. Then contact a Sales Advisor at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368 and we'll get that tracking to you right away!
Can I expedite my order?
While we cover standard ground shipments on most orders, expedited options are available for non-freight shipments! Contact a Sales Advisor for a quote at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368. Please note, expedited orders must be placed with a Sales Advisor by 12:00 Noon CT to ensure departure on the same business day.
Will my instrument arrive fully assembled?
Assembling digital pianos, drums, stands, and any other items we sell is easy! With some simple instructions and the occasional screwdriver, you're all set to go. For digital pianos, you are generally only putting together the stand itself. With the help of a friend, you then place the piano portion on top of the stand and secure it with the provided screws. Drum assembly is also straightforward and often allows for a setup that works for you. Let our Sales Advisors put your mind at ease and contact us at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368!
What should I do with these boxes?
We highly recommend keeping them around for 45 days. Many customers will flatten the boxes and put them in the garage, keeping the packing materials in a bag for easy access and storage. In the rare event that something goes wrong with your shipment, this will help us take care of you as quickly and conveniently as possible!
Do you include a receipt or invoice in my shipment?
We do not currently include receipts or invoices in boxes that we ship. In an effort to be more eco-friendly, all of that paperwork is sent electronically (and financing information is often sent via USPS). If you didn't receive our emails, be sure to check your Junk or Spam folders. Then contact a Sales Advisor at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368 and we'll get that info to you right away!
Do you gift wrap?
Due to the size and weight of most products, we are unable to gift wrap any of our shipments. If your order is a gift or surprise, we can always arrange to ship to an alternate address or the workplace! Contact a Sales Advisor to discuss your options at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368.
Will the box show what's inside?
Yes, many of our products are shipped in the manufacturer box. These will often have images, model numbers, and other text that will indicate the contents. Every package we ship is designed to be handled, loaded and unloaded from trucks, and still keep the contents free from damage or any other problems. If your order is a gift or surprise, we can always arrange to ship to an alternate address or the workplace! Contact a Sales Advisor to discuss your options at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368.
How do freight shipments work?
In order to properly protect larger and heavier products, we ship those products using a combination of freight services based on best delivery offerings for your destination. We'll provide you with tracking information for your freight shipment within 24 hours of your order leaving our facility. This includes access to freight service website, allowing you to track the order, schedule a delivery date, and schedule a delivery window! Occasionally, some deliveries cannot be scheduled using the website. If that happens, the service will provide you with a special phone number to arrange delivery. Most deliveries take place on weekdays (Monday through Friday) within standard business hours and require a signature.
Our free shipping promotion includes threshold delivery for freight shipments. You save $250.00 in shipping! The driver will ensure that all packages are protected from the weather by placing them in the closest dry area. These include porches, garages, or just inside the threshold of the dwelling.
While these services do not include assembly, our knowledgeable staff of Sales Advisors can talk you through the easy and quick process. With some simple instructions and the occasional screwdriver, you're all set to go. For digital pianos, you are generally only putting together the stand itself. With the help of a friend, you then place the piano portion on top of the stand and secure it with the provided screws. Drum assembly is also straightforward and often allows for a setup that works for you. Let our Sales Advisors put your mind at ease and contact us at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368!
Can I ship to a PO Box?
A PO Box is not eligible as a delivery location for orders shipping FedEx, UPS, or Ceva. In certain circumstances, we may be able to provide an exception and ship to a PO BOX through USPS, however prior arrangements with one of our Sales Advisors would be required and the item that you are ordering must be small enough to meet the limited size requirement.
Can I ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or an APO?
Many items can be shipped to these destinations, but it varies from item to item depending upon size. Also, due to the added costs of shipping to these destinations, these orders wouldn't qualify for the free shipping promotions we frequently run. But Kraft Music will cover the cost of shipping to the nearest coast! All you would pay is the remainder. Contact a Sales Advisor for a quote at help@kraftmusic.com or 800-783-3368. Please be sure to include your postal/zip code for the quickest and most accurate quotes.
Are there any other exceptions to free shipping?
*On occasion, orders shipped to remote locations may not qualify for free shipping. A Kraft Music representative will reach out to you if our carriers are unable to deliver your order under our free shipping threshold. Orders shipped to the far reaches of North Dakota and Texas or the islands in the Pacific Northwest, for example, may not be able to ship for free. We will do everything we can to accommodate you!
Do you ship to Puerto Rico and other countries outside of the United States?
Due to our dealer agreements, we are only authorized to ship our products to addresses within the 50 United States (and the District of Columbia). We also cannot ship to freight forwarding facilities. Be sure to check with your local store for product availability in your country.

Born of the most famous and influential drum machines ever made, Roland TR-8S combines the best of its Roland heritage with modern production techniques and professional sound design. The result? A forward-thinking, performance-tuned instrument unlike any other. Build your dream kit from the most iconic drum sounds of all time, plus the finest selection of stereo samples from Roland's vast library – or import your own custom samples. Tap, tune and tweak with hands-on controls and production tools that make your patterns move and groove. And why keep this kind of percussive power confined to the studio? TR-8S was literally made to play live.

Full reproduction of classic TR-808, TR-909, TR-606, TR-707 and TR-727 rhythm machines, based on original design spec sheets and detailed analog circuit analysis of many original TR machines including Roland's own pristine units
Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology allows part-by-part analyses and faithful recreations of tonality and behavior, including the smooth variations of tone that occur when you work the controls of each instrument
Obsessive attention to detail, such as reproducing the original TR's unique variations in tone that occur when multiple instruments are entered in accented steps
Authentic 16-step sequencer with faithful TR-REC behavior, including A and B pattern variations and the ability to play instruments and record to steps in real time

Design kits with authentic TR drums, sampled sounds and effects
TR-8S comes loaded with the largest, most authentic collection of TR drum machines available. The powerful new processor gives Roland's next-generation ACB models a whole new level of detail and nuance, giving you that classic Roland boom, snap and sizzle. And now you can incorporate preset and custom samples, creating unique hybrid and layered kits, and enhance them with specialized effects that inject professional sound design into the TR formula.

Transistor rhythms
TR-8S has every sound from the most sought-after TR drum machines, with detailed circuit-models of the 808, 606, 909, 707, 727 and even several modified versions. These are not soundalike sample packs or mere recordings of TR drum sounds; each machine is a detailed, down-to-the-circuit-model that sounds and behaves exactly like the original hardware. All these sounds are yours, at your fingertips and ready to use in your own productions and performances.

ACB meets samples
Today's rhythm tracks require a diverse set of sounds and production techniques, and it's harder than ever to sound truly unique. While authentic TR sounds are vital for producing drum tracks, mixing and layering sounds opens a world of modern styles and the exciting potential to craft your own signature sound. Pull from the extensive collection of preset stereo samples or import your own using the SD card slot. Like the TR sounds, you can deeply manipulate samples with immediate hands-on control. Adjust decay and tuning and alter sample start points, speed and direction. You can create a kit entirely from samples or mix and match with TR sounds for genre-defying drum tracks that demand attention.

Drum-atic effects
The right effects can make a drum part stand out by creating depth and space. Whether it's delay on a rimshot, overdrive on a kick, filters on toms and cymbals or just the right amount of reverb on select instruments, TR-8S has percussion-tuned effects that simply sound great. In addition to the MASTER FX knob, each channel has a customizable CTRL knob, placing all this sound-shaping power within easy reach. The attack of the kick, the snap of the snare, phaser depth, distortion amount – whatever parameter you need direct and immediate access to – can be assigned to the CTRL knob or MASTER FX knob and saved with the kit. Both individual instrument and master effects, along with their precise settings, are saved with each kit, making your productions always performance-ready.

Create evolving patterns with variations, fills and motion
Pattern creation on TR-8S feels natural and intuitive, thanks to the Roland TR-REC step sequencer that's been the beating heart of electronic music production for decades. Now it's been enhanced and modernized to be better than ever.

Fast, fluid and fun
You can program on the 16 TR-REC buttons or use the velocity-sensitive performance pad to play live, or record into the sequencer. And you can move seamlessly between playing and editing, reshaping your drum parts without ever interrupting your flow. Create intricate grooves and detailed fills using velocity, accents, flams and adjustable sub-steps for modern rolls and ratcheting. Get experimental with unusual polyrhythms and complex meters by adjusting the length or last step of each drum part.

Variations on a theme
Keep things fresh and exciting, even during extended live sets. TR-8S can store 128 patterns – each with eight variations and three kinds of fills – and patterns and variations can be played or chained in any order. In performance situations you can copy patterns on the fly and even stay ahead of the beat and work on patterns that aren't currently playing. Each pattern can include the kit, knob positions, effect settings and tempo, providing instant recall and enough storage and flexibility to play an entire set without ever repeating a single measure in the same way.

Filling in
Well-placed fills can create thrilling moments in a track or a live set. Each pattern in TR-8S can contain two fills, which you can customize or create from scratch. There's also an adjustable 'scatter' fill that will slice and dice a measure into short bursts of cool and controlled chaos. But at times, your hands may be too busy to trigger every fill manually. That's where auto-fill comes in: automating fills every 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 measures keeps your hands free while adding interesting dynamics to your performances.

In motion
Professional sounding drum tracks require detailed production techniques. TR-8S not only makes crafting this detail possible, it makes it fast and fun. Locking parameters to steps or recording motion into patterns can give you everything from subtle movements to dramatic tonal shifts. Automate bass drum tuning, snare pitch, panning, effects – whatever you want. You can create melodies and basslines or change the sound of a kit for different song sections. Motion recording is immediate and effortless, and motion playback can be instantly enabled or disabled.

At home in the studio, made for the stage
For the last four years, Roland has taken feedback from enthusiastic TR-8 fans and artists from around the world, leaving them with a pretty clear idea of they we could make it even better, both for studio production and live performance. Roland put these user-requested features – and more – into TR-8S while keeping the immediacy and fun factor of the original TR-8 fully intact.

Eight analog outputs
Like some of its famous siblings, TR-8S has eight separate analog outputs so you can process individual drum sounds through external effects or send them into separate channels of your mixer or DAW. Take control of your sound and decide which instruments or groups are sent to which outputs. And whatever you choose, know that TR-8S sounds big, punchy and spacious thanks to its high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz digital-to-analog converters.

Trigger out, external in
TR-8S has a stereo external audio input and a dedicated trigger output; additionally, its assignable outputs can be used as additional triggers. This lets you control external instruments and mix them with TR-8S's internal sounds, greatly expanding your creative possibilities in the studio and performance possibilities on stage. Each pattern has a dedicated trigger track for access to all kinds of variations with no need to 'use up' an instrument track. Rim-shots and triggered analog bass patterns? Yes, you can!

Audio and MIDI interface
Aside from being the most powerful drum machine ever made, TR-8S is a complete multi-channel audio and MIDI interface. When you connect TR-8S to a computer or AIRA Link host, you can transfer MIDI and high-resolution audio over a single USB cable. Record each drum instrument to a different channel for individual processing and recording, automate parameter movements from your DAW by CC messages or sync TR-8S to your computer or Roland MX-1 Mix Performer for live sets or late night jam sessions.

Refined design with a modern touch
Aesthetic and ergonomic improvements can be found throughout TR-8S, giving it a timeless design that fits any creative space. The shape, colors and overall feel have been refined to be more substantial, elegant and inviting. RGB color faders and TR-REC buttons let you customize the brightness, glow and color of each element. Not only does it look amazing, it also gives crucial visual feedback about what's playing, what's muted, which instruments are grouped and so on. And then there's that lava lamp mode…

Total recall
The life of a musician can be pretty unpredictable, whether due to touring mishaps or studio calamities. Take comfort in the fact that every kit, every pattern and every setting for literally everything can be backed up on an SD card. Just pop it into a fresh TR-8S and you're back up and running in no time.

Sync with Serato DJ Pro
The Serato x Roland TR-SYNC update brings the power of Roland’s iconic drum machines to your DJ setup. Simply connect your Roland TR drum machine to Serato DJ Pro and they’ll sync to the same BPM. Now you can easily add your own drum loops with the same drum sounds used on your favorite music. Flip genres, beef up classic tracks, remix, and transition between songs in new ways. Anyone can play the next big track, but how many DJs can make it their own?
