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'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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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. .
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
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...
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:)
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!
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.
@@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

there is ......its called - "buy two " ..lol

Is it good sensitive? I have something similar but is not that sensitive, it not respond to my foot every now and than
It’s brilliant but way too expensive. Should be half price
Jingles wow what every song needs

You can upload your own samples so it's essentially limitless.
plus you can tune them higher or lower and so you actually get more limitless kicks.
Billy Kramer To my knowledge, you can only do that with the red one. The name of which I can't remember at this moment.

Billy Kramer I stand corrected. 😂
235 euros for this? Are they ok? You can buy full drum set with that money....
ah yes....but think of the portability of having no bass drum - and /or snare
@@TheMichaelseymourit's for the built in samples. if was just a midi pad would cost 50
Is it possible to sample new sounds?
lets see someone get two of these and do Death Metal Blast Beats! ;)
Why build a kick pedal and half the presets aren't kickdrums? Anyone getting that?

OmShantiShanti496 😂
Why make something appealing to a broad market? I don't know.
the WAV pedal is from my point of view the best option, as you can use your own samples on that.
Great idea! This thing is so unique. I would love to own one
Wish they had. W alp 4 pads built into 1? Want to get my first electric drums don't know where to start lol
samplers dream video thanks m8
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.
anyone use this while standing? looking for some help/advice, as it is a difficult position to connect properly with the pad.
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
I just got mine and can't get any sound out of it at all. Can someone help!??
If I were a drummer this would be my kick drum from now on. Why not.
I was thinking same thing. Simplify things since things would be plugged into a pa in that setting.
Snare??
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
Is there any pedal out there that is quick reaction,like doing a double tap like a kick drum
I wish I could use two sounds alternatively
By changing the way I press it
Can you daisy chain these? i.e. have two pads on the same line so you can go straight into the house pa?
Can you get a simple kick and crash sound on this??
I wish I could find the same for snare sounds, then you could couple that with a kick...
Do what’s the foreseen application of this guys? Someone gonna just snare all the way through a song?

does this unit allow for importing your own wav kick files?

Got the same issue. It doesn't affect the functionality but i supouse it Will in the future
@@Felipemenaal It definitely affects the functionality on mine! The pad is no longer centered, so the playing surface is askew and the rebound affected...
Can I use this as a trigger to SPD-S?
Wish they could have just put in a slot for another pedal ✌️would have been great for singers and guitar players ...
Does it loop??
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:)
I have one. You can beat with hands and drumstick
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!
That is a hell of a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be
That's what she said
if you could combine the sounds like hat with kick -or tambo with kick ...
hmmm
Roland recommend buying two...
Does anyone have a simple, portable way to stop: 1) the pedal drifting on the floor and 2) the knobs being changed by a heel-up playing style?
I put 2 strips of velcro on the bottom. Put the unit on a small throw rug. No more slipping.Works great!
@@stephenphelps8794 Great advice - thank you! :)

@@ShawnBoucke Interesting idea! I am currently using a velcro solution (with my drum rug underneath) that has served me well so far...
Hi Roland Support Channel - can you please tell me how to prevent bass drum creep whilst using this item? Thanks!

Is the sound synced with video or it has a little delay?
any way of getting the same kind of product for a lower price ?
Can i use it like the other spd one? I mean can i use drumstick also here like the other spd one? Or they have different sensitivity?
should have a trigger input :-)
is it possible to get a double bass sound from it?
would you recommend to replace kd-10 with spd one? kd-10 is too loud for my bulding , and i dont like a resistance that pedal has.
Beautiful Natives sounds yes it's for me
wow make a snare one!
Can u use this pedal with hand sonic hpd 20 ?
Yes you can. Need to have another input in your amp
So, this one goes to 11?
I would this to have conga and timbal
Neft o the white one has it
sounds about as interesting as the shoes
Looks like Roland is dry on ideas hmmm?
nice ProKeds
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.
very cool and too exspensive.
Have a kick synth instead of shitty sounding presets and you might have a worthwhile product.
Dom C There is one user-defined slot for a non-shitty sound, if u like
Much expensive !
Would be better with a remote control
Really? On the floor with this form factor to use with the foot? With just these sounds, for that price? What a bad idea.
💸💸💸💸💸💸💸🤡
Lame for the price
too expensive
