The Roland CR-8000 came out in 1981.
It's without a doubt one of Roland's classic drum machines with roots that go back to the famous CR-78 (produced in 1978) & the TR-808 (which came out just one year before in 1980).

..The unmodified drum weighs in at 3.2Kg, with 11 knobs & 32 buttons.
I really like the the digital data encoder. It's very accurate at giving a precise BPM reading.
The digital tempo display was not a feature on the slightly earlier CR-5000
The CR 8000 also has twice the number of presets as the 5000.
Unmodified, the CR-8000 also has a trigger out (+5V pulses) so you can clock external gear.
Sadly there is just one audio output but unlike the CR-5000, the 8000 has DinSync (24ppqm).
