Nelson George - "All Hail the Beat"

Filmmaker Nelson George(@nelsongeorge) has done it again with "All Hail the Beat!" An incredible short documentary about the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer drum machine, one of the first programmable machines.

The TR-808 was used to produce drum sounds for classic rap, r&b or techno songs(Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" and Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock"). The drum machine's sounds were so popular that even as samplers came into vogue, producers simply sampled the sounds from the unit and worked with them. Those sounds are used to produce beats heard in today's music.

This film was directed by Nelson George, and was part of the Focus Forward series(@FocusFwdFilms) for Tribeca Flim Festival '12.
