SPDS fun

[reneh209]

do u have put samples on it like sounds or it has sound and how much sounds does it have ?????

[paniJaneczka]

sooo fucking cool

[LeStignev]

hi can you play a "full" set on the pads, bass drum (with trigger pad), snare, hi-hat, crash, maybe ride, stand tom, small tom and then put a full 3 min guitar riff on one of the other pads and maybe a loop on another one that constantly run for like 3 minutes while i keep on playing the drums? i got a roland hd 1 and i´m not sure if i should keep it or maybe just use the spds with a bass drum trigger. for what i´m planning to do it seems to be working as well.

[dellamatrix]

I say keep your hd-1. I have a TD4K and am going to purchase one of these to expand the kit. You could run them both through BFD or something for an awesome kit!

You could also plug the spd-s into your stereo input of your HD-1 and mix the signal through the kit.

I think the SPD-S can run 12minute samples in long mode so you could have guitars and effects playing at the same time as playing the HD-1. Hope this helps!

[14bushwacker]

do the pads of the roland spds have good bounce?

[siytek]

yeh they are not bad, I have an SPD20 at home, I find the SPDS (featured in the video) a slight improvement but neither come close to the mesh head v-drum kits! ;)

[hescottbeats1]

when is roland going to update the spd-20/spds line? anybody know? these units have been out for a long time, while technology has passed them by. i want to pull the trigger, so to speak, and buy one or both, but dont want to only to have them release something new 6 months later.

[andrewa22]

How do you access the waves that are saved on the flashcard?

How can you download to a flashcard from a mac?

[AsylaxCore]

DO you know of anything else that is cheaper that can also make that sound?

[yuckfou312]

the alesis DM5 might work. but i'm not exactly sure if it can make that sound. i'm looking for the same thing you are

[AsylaxCore]

Question:

Ive been looking into pads for a while and i want to get a pad w/ brain the runs through a PA system so if im playin the drums i can hit the pad and it will make a suound, and the sound i want to use is called a bass boom or bass hit, you hear them often in hardcore music. can these produce that sound?

[yuckfou312]

to answer your question, yes this can produce that sound. you can load your own samples into this pad. it's perfect for what you want but the only problem is that it's $500

[barneeet]

you are a amazin drumer

[mpampizzzz]

excuse me but I have some questions on spd-s.

first I want to know if I can use it to play drums in a trip where I can't have my whole drumset.

secondly does anyone know what are the differences between spd-s and alesis performance pad? Because I only want it for excercising when on holidays or for a little expansion on my td-3.

By the way u were awsome :D!!!

[handballboy08]

very very good!!!

[Flip1923]

dude you can make money on the spds

[laarpakar]

[kickboxer5]

[siytek]

[kickboxer5]

[cacat34]

tare sa moara copii mei

@ this is to hot

[mmazz414]

whats the kind that royksopp has?

[pcfresh88]

yo why is the spd-20 more expensive mate?

[t0rment2004]

Possibly because it has two more pads.

[thebetterhalf37]

Actually, the spd 20 has 1 less pad then the spd-s.. so thats not it.

[siytek]

They are normally the same price.. the spds has sampling capability and one extra pad but the spd20 has a huge selection of sounds.

[vinavi]

that was cool. Where do you get the that sirene sample? Do you maybe know ny good sites where you can download trance samples or other samples without paying?

Avinay

[gepardek]

Do you know english dnb band called EPOC? You should! There're guy playing spds and he is insane!

[drummadrumdrum]

[jackvaxx2100]

[projectctrl]

Search ebay, and as for the sound part. Thats called skill :). Go to any music store, they should sell this, or something simalar.

[ramiro73]

hey do yall fuckers know if those are the factory sounds or user input?

[bubbleman4]

i dont think roland would include the amen break in there... they might though, idk, i dont have one

[Sulaco516]

Roger Andrew Taylor (the drummer for Duran Duran) has the Roland SPD-S attached to his Tama drumset (which can be seen on the band's 2004 Wembley Arena concert DVD,).

[jeevan7772000]

[MikeMiheli]

you really want to hear this thing demo'd right? go to roland's sight and click on johnny rabbs demo!

[mcdinar12]

[Moog167]

$495

[tommitytom]

That's very awesome! I'm gonna try out something similar with my Roland TD-8 and Reaktor. I'll let you know how I get on...

[syncopated84]

I always wanted to play the amens myself :)

[goodshepard]

junglist man that´s so good que redobles

[manystylz]

Great video :-)

[siytek]

i shall be furthering this project very soon as there is massive potential to 'drum' up interest in Roland products in the store. No less than 4 people asked me about this project and how much the SPDS cost while I was making it, and nobody ever stops to look at the SPDS normally. Kamoni rules, you can tell the difference, his sound very pro, im a keyboard player/pianist really but would like to reach his standard at some point with my rescent interest in percussion.

[DustBrothers]

unlike anything ive seen. ill check out them Kamoni vids.

[siytek]

lol, i recorded it at bit crap, I did it while the till staff were cashing up in a rush. Im going to add some rasta vocals and record it at a better angle when I get time.
