808 often refers to the [Roland TR-808] analog [drum machine]. It was released in late 1981 and was produced up until 1984. TR stands for [Transistor] Rhythm. The [808s] insanely deep [bass drum], snappy snare, and that weird [cowbell] sound are among the legendary synthesized drum sounds produced by this machine.

Another option for 808 sounds are various hardware and software clones which set out to reproduce the 808 sound as faithfully as possible. Roland, who originally created the TR-808, has never made a dedicated TR-808 clone themselves, and will most likely never produce this legendary machine ever again. They have, however, offered 808 samples in many different products for well over a decade now.808 meaning & definition 4 of 808.
