SPDS fun

I cannot take credit for this, if you have not seen Kamoni's videos, and you like this, check them out! I used the same setup, Mac, Roland percussion pad and Ableton. I work for Roland and made this as a demo to sell the SPDS. As I said, if you want to see it done properly, check out Kamoni's videos!

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! ;)

[pcfresh88]

yo why is the spd-20 more expensive mate?

[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.

[bubbleman4]

it's the amen break... everyone uses that....

NICE JOB DUDE I GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE

[reneh209]

sooo fucking cool

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!

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.

[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.

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

How can you download to a flashcard from a mac?

[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]

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