I'm tempted. Would use it with my foot to play along with guitar, bass, or keys, and a looper. I wish there were a two-pad version that including snare. Or a way to use my foot to quickly switch between two sounds.
My drummer came up with the idea of using the two of these that he has instead of his double pedal at Acute Madness shows when involving our road backline; I figured he can plug them into an amp aux input using adapters since my guitar rig and the bassist’s setup will be right behind the drum kit in case improper monitoring occurs which often does at small venues with people that are too lazy to mic or DI, I mean I’m really liking most of the kick sounds though maybe he can hook them up to a computer for a sample of his real kick too.
I've just got this one, its very good. wish it was half the price, the build is amazing and it sound amazing, and for me i will use it with my foot with cajon and with my acoustic guitar and with my drum kit.
Fantastic pedal! Drums go with bass. When are roland or tc going to build a foot triggered bass & kick, which listens to the guitar chords for the note harmony? Send me one for free in exchange for the idea when you do. Cheers Bob Rowley
Trying to use the spd kick through the line input on Roland AC33 amp, guitar through the guitar input. Any time I hit the SPD one my guitar volume drops. Can anyone help? Both the SPD and the amp are mains powered
Hey, I was wondering if i could use it with my hands, or drumsticks, like some of the other pads. if anyone could help me out, would really appreciate it:)
For something that specifies the word kick, you would think it would have more than 4 kick drums. Especially when there is another model that is geared toward percussion and the electro model sports some of these samples as well. No?
SallyRTCW I would hardly call that limitless. It's just the same samples pitched differently. And as much as that changes the timbre of it, more samples would give you more variety. I'm not complaining, I understand that they probably wanted to make a well rounded unit for the consumer, but the TR model has more snares than anything and that's supposed to be an assortment of samples from their TR series modules.
I think this is okay. But, I think a simple design for a drum simulator in a pedal needs to be developed. The BEatBuddy and the SDrum are great but overcomplicated. Guitarists need an inbetween that has better programming and playing abilities without all the hassle of weird programming or "teaching" techniques for the pedal. .
@@candersonll "Bass drum creep" is when the bass drum moves forward gradually while playing it. It has more to do with playing style (for example heel up versus heel down). So, what I'm asking is there any way to immobilize the kick drum pedal so it doesn't "creep" forward during a song or set?
@@timrideout ahh... get yourself a small rug or floor mat so as to not damage pre existing rugs and Velcro the item to your rug. Or put the back up against something
Has anyone had issues with the rubber pad sliding/un-glueing over time? I have had my pedal(s) for about 4 years now, and the pad is now crooked in relation to the housing!
@@Felipemenaal It definitely affects the functionality on mine! The pad is no longer centered, so the playing surface is askew and the rebound affected...
Why the slay bells? This unit is great, but why waste slots on the sample library with sounds that you’re hardly ever, if ever, going to use? A couple of decent snare sounds would be a huge improvement.
Never managed to load a wave sound via usb into the spd one. Roland should sell the spd one with a compatible usb cable because none of the ones I have used worked. This non working feature is a pain
I know this is a year out, but I put two pieces of gaffer tape on each other with a bit exposed on each end. So on sticks to the bottom and the other stick to the floor in the front. It has worked great.
Petra Huralec Because it’s called a one kick pedal. Not a one kick DRUM pedal. You see, because you have to use the “kick” technique to activate the different sounds. It gives you a guitarist hands free access to different percussion sounds during a performance. Do you “get it” now? I hope my explanation cleared up the big mystery for you.
It's great that you can load your own sample but on this one the Cajón sound isn't good. A truly cajón bass sound shouldn't have snare strings sounding as bleed. They should have been removed for recording the sample!
When Roland (or any other company) wants to get serious about this silly little toy and find out what the people in the trenches / live music performers REALLY NEED, please have them contact me.
