- David Packouz from Singular Sound presents their BeatBuddy drum machine pedal. This compact and innovative drum machine is completely controllable with just a tap of your foot. It's loaded with 200 songs covering 21 different styles, including rock, country, jazz, blues, and more. Perfect for one-man bands, singer/songwriters, practices, and more, the BeatBuddy is easy to use and sounds great since it uses actual recordings and loops of real drummers.

So this dude used to be a weapons dealer and now making cool tech nice
😂😂😂😂
Yeah... But BEAT BUDDY is a weapon too right?
😂
i got mine almost 2 years ago..and just love it..got the footswitch recently too...but gotta figure out still how to assign other sounds to the extra beat button
overall...a fantastic product..love it..cannot play without it..
"... It's like having a drummer, you kick him and he does whatever you want... and nothing is more fun than that...". Priceless !!! hahaha Thanks for a great product.
Personally, I've never been a fan of drum machines but I understand that its not practical to have live drums for most venues or gigs. This looks like a pretty good solution, simple and intelligent operation and not too big.
I use the Beatbuddy Mini and it has the same problems as the Beatbuddy with regard to live performance. In a live situation it is important to change the drum genre and tempo quickly. This isn’t possible with these pedals unless you bend down and adjust them between songs. Another problem, when playing rhythm guitar as I do, is that double pressing to end is very awkward for many songs. I’ve modified my Beatbuddy Mini to insert another pedal, not in the pedal socket supplied, which emulates the button on the pedal. This means I have my pedal on a stand where I can adjust it standing upright and conversing with the audience but a can still operate the pedal with my foot. This still doesn’t address the double press to end though. I now have another socket to add another single pedal with some simple electronics that emulate a double tap of the pedal. It requires a battery and I have fitted a rechargeable battery. This has solved my problems. It would be really super if you could come up with something similar in both your pedals just for us live musicians. Thank you.
I know it's not always optimal, but it sounds like you can solve those issues with a midi pedal. More gear to carry, but many more possibilities using MIDI along with the peddle. For recording, as well. And 24 bit drums! I'm pretty much sold on the Beat Buddy big boy. (Sorry, wifey, but you married a musician for better or for worse.)
Wonderful presentation of a wonderful product ! X🤘🏻X
My Beat Buddy paired with my Boomerang Looper is 🤘
Wonderful product!
From former international arms dealer to inventing cool drum machines. Crazy circle of life. Diveroli is a chump!
Isn't this one of the guys that took Liam Neesons daughter?
it seem like a really good product, nicely put together, and will come really handy when your drummer just found god and decided to leave the band including the drum.
If he found god, he'll be back, if God found him, well....then I'd buy the drum machine,......
Love the Parkwood guitar!!!!
I just watched the interview with him on soft white underbelly and what a story. Talk about making lemonade out of lemons. I’m here to check out and possibly buy this product!
David: really great product. Have you noticed every demo of your product has people using their hands on those grotty foot switches? Hummm… Beat Buddy Studio. Just change the form factor to desktop for those of us (recording studios, etc) that don't want this thing on the floor. Switches become pads. No R&D, that's it, just change the package. You could go crazy and break out the MIDI to individual IN/OUT/THROUGH jacks.
OK for home practice.. Not for performance cuz no sequential memory for the patterns for your live set. Sounds are nominal.
Thanks for the demo. I am glad I was sick and didn't pull the trigger on Black Friday for the Beat Buddy Mini. Your voice compression on the video was just a little annoying, but I was able to get by that and your demo of the devices answered all of my questions. THANK YOU. 🤬 Now I have to spend over twice what I was going to pay and buy the big brother version of the peddle. I would hate myself for going the cheaper route and I do look forward to producing some great music with it before I die. 😂
In the market for a beat machine. It's between the BeatBuddy and the Trio +. If you guys had a looper on this, I'd get two. It sounds great. I recently purchased a Zoom GX3 and it only has a 40 second loop time which is ridiculously short. Need more time to learn from my many mistakes. Hahaha. Good luck, David. Great tutorial as well.
If you took all the best bits of each looper and combined it with a beat buddy you would have another great seller ...all the loopers presently excell at one thing or another but they also fail at one thing or another also.
Awesome invention! Great review! Cool inventor!
Thanks !
@ 10:03 -10:25 talks about the Metronome. The green blinking LED above the display does not blink in-sync with the metronome bar that moves across the display.
Good eye! This was a firmware glitch that we fixed around a year ago. New units do not have this problem
Why is it blinking in the first place, seems just confusing! It only regards the Mini, the Beat Buddy has not the blinker, fortunally :)
Even Seb we removed the large blinking LED from the Mini 2! :-) check it out: ua-cam.com/video/41Bk0J9d2lA/v-deo.html
Great design David, I love when the machine isn't playing you kick the switch on and it doesn't obsess on vagina.
Or drink all of your beer!
really nice creation .
Huh?
OR GET LEG CRAMPS OR TAKE SMOKE BREAKS. AND ITS GONNA KNOW THE SONG WHEN YOU GO TO PRACTICE.
Thankyou maestro
Excellent!
Absolutely killer! But man, serious compression on the voiceover! Sounds like Joe Meek vc3! Great demo!
Under the blues genre,does it come with the blues shuffle and Chuck Berry style music drumming?
It's about time
Looks interesting, I want one!
What if I wanna play a Walz? A Walz is pretty much a 3/4 so how to go from 4/4 to 3/4? Or in the church I play Amazing Grace - allso in 3/4?
I can't figure out how to put my newly purchased downloaded beats into the SD card and have it show up on the interface of the pedal. I'm using a regular Toshiba PC. Am I missing a step?. Anyone..... Help me.
I’ll take one for sure! Throw in a couple AK’s and a crate of grenades and we got a deal. 😂
I love mine but I have a question... Is the only way to turn it off I have to unplug?
Amazing.
Awesome
How many odd time signatures does have, heard 5/4?
How do you access your patterns quickly? I rarely stick to a setlist. If someone makes a request I need to access the beat pattern quickly.
If you add the MIDI Maestro, would the footswitch still be useful? I bought a beat buddy & footswitch from Sweetwater and really want to get the Aeros looper & Midi Maestro. Just wondering if the foot pedal would still be useful. Thanks!!
you need a separate amp for that? Example if it is on a pedal chain it will be affected by the overdrive or the delay pedal etc. Not sure where this would go in a pedal chain?
Hi, Stephen. If you were going to run the pedal in-line with other effects, I would put the BeatBuddy last. That way it isn’t getting affected by the other pedals in the chain.
Thanks for your interest!

sick
Is there an extension foot switch for Fill-in... I have that footswitch, but still I don't have foot switch for Roll-fill,in....
If there is an extension for fill-in footswitch then I can place the gadget near to my hand for quicker and easier operation.
Where can I get the beat buddy branded short patch cable that connects the foot switch to the BB?
Can this machine play only the bass drum part of a song via midi connnection to DJ mixer or other music source?
Hi, thanks for your interest! No, the BeatBuddy doesn’t have the ability to isolate specific parts of a recorded track. It’s really designed to be a practice and/or performance tool for guitarists needing a drum machine. I’m not aware of any pedal that has the functionality you’re describing, but AI algorithms in software are getting quite good at “unmixing” recorded music - you might check out iZotope Ozone for a great example of this:

I hope this helps a bit - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

What would be a good speaker(s) to pair with it for a living room or backyard jam session. Nothing too loud, but with enough power to keep with small amps.
Hey, Paul. Thank you for checking us out on UA-cam. Here are a couple links to great small portable PA speakers that work great for your situation:

hello, please tell me - where did you download the drum parts files? you just need to throw them on the sd card and that's it ??? thanks
What kind of amp does it need to sound decent?
What kind of pedalboard is the Beat Buddy attached to?
It's made by Aclam Guitars
Can you download backing tracks in this unit?
Why doesnt any of these beat buddy demo videos mention hooking up a distortion pedal? I didnt get a chance to play with beat buddy and foot switch yet. No clue what I'm doing when it comes to playing music or even know what I need for a set up....lol
Can you do dead stop & start with EXTENTION pedal without having to press Twice..( just one press ) which I find hit and Miss? I would find that really helpfull
Yes, you can set one of the extension pedal buttons to be a dedicated outro
Can you use this with the Roland tb-3 or Arturia Micrbute?
Can I plug it straight into my guitar amp and play both Guitar and Beat buddy out of one amp
Hi, Mark. You can run through the Beat Buddy like a normal guitar pedal and into an amp if you want. That being said, guitar amps weren't really designed with drum machines in mind, so the sound quality might be lacking. Most people who use these run them into a PA, drum amp, or keyboard amp. Thanks for your interest!
Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1320, charlie_davis@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater Just purchased one and asked the same question. The answer was simply put YES
No mention of poor sound quality. WTF.
can i produce with it in the studio? like a studio drum machine where i can program my own drum patterns in a DAW MIDI sty;e?
Thanks for your question, Sanley! You can actually setup the BeatBuddy as a drum sound module and program your own patterns inside of your DAW. You can use the BeatBuddy manager to make your own grooves, as well! If you have further questions on whether or not this would be a good fit, please give us a call and we'd be happy to go over what would be best for you!

My drummer yells at me …time to get one of these
Great!!!
How do I create a folder for my list of songs for gig
Hi Anthony, in the BeatBuddy Manager app, go to the pull-down menu called Songs (at the top of the app). The second choice is New Folder. Thanks for watching!
when setting actual bpm tempos it doesn't look like you have accurate 1x1 bpm control. looks like it skips bpm's as you foot tap?
The foot tap tempo would give you a quick reference, you can always adjusted BPM manually.
Seems like the best way to use it in a show, is to have it up on your note stand and use the extension pedal to stop and start (and pause). To set the accurate tempo, you then don't have to 'Ben Dover' for every song change, like a strawberry picker :)
How do you turn it off .or does it automatically turn off when not in use thanks
Hey, Christopher. Thanks so much for your interest. There isn’t an on/off switch since it is a pedal and it designed for the signal to pass through the pedal. You can start/stop with your foot but the pedal itself will still be on unless you unplug it. But if you do that, the signal will not flow through.
I hope this helps.

@@sweetwater thanks .one more question. The symbols sound doesn't work .when I press it . I've tried everything. Am I missing something .the pause button works . Thanks
Hey there, although there is not an on/off switch, if you head to the BeatBuddy settings by pressing the drum set and tempo knob at the same time, you can put the BeatBuddy in Sleep Mode. This will turn off the screen. To turn it back on, you just press anywhere on the BeatBuddy.
I am a piano entertainer using drum and bass as well. Question? How do you change styles/ grooves then without using your hands?
i need buy one pls help how to buy
In what data form can you add external sounds, wav?
Hi, Theo. You can upload General MIDI files if you’re wanting to bring in grooves that you’ve programmed, or you can use WAV files to import actual drum sounds.
Thanks for your interest!
Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1320, charlie_davis@sweetwater.com
Never hear any sounds from 50s like rockabilly beats
Can this unit handle it?
The Rockabillys I think your right😀
Where do we get more songs??
Hi, what the mark of pedalboard do you use in this video ?
Aclam guitars
Can Beatbuddy work as a master clock with a loop pedal?
Hello, Mel! The Beatbuddy can send clock over MIDI to other MIDI devices such as a looper. Here is a MIDI FAQ on the Singular Sound website regarding this:

Thanks for the interest!

Can you dial off the quantize?
Hi, Roddy - great question! So there are no quantization settings on the Beat Buddy itself, but since it uses MIDI files you can adjust the quantization while editing the base files (on your computer).
Thanks!
Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater yeah, for a simple practice tool I guess 100% quantized is good but small solo gigs are nice to not have a bunch of extra hassle of carrying a midi time clock & having to deal with it. Sometimes a full dialed quantized can sound a bit stiff🤷♂️
Does this work with a Boss FS-6 footswitch?
Hi, Maximiliano! Yes, the Beat Buddy will work with the FS6. You will just need to make sure it is set to work as a momentary switch.
Thanks for your interest!
Mike Wuchter, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1789
Are there stereo outputs for recording?
Hi, Nicholas. The BeatBuddy does indeed contain stereo outputs, as well as a stereo headphone out! Feel free to get in touch with any other questions.
Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Dude miles teller plays this dude in war dogs. Definitely just got my business from that
I’ll stick with the sr18. A lot less money and still sounds great. $349 for this. Nope.
Does the buddy work with the Boss FS-6
the same way it does with the Beatbuddy double Footswitch?
I use the Behringer double footswich (for V-amp), and it works very fine! Suppose every unlached double switch will do the same job.
If you are thinking of live performance in semi-loud situations the additional footswitch is fine. However, be warned, the switches make an awful noise. I would not take them into the studio for recording. Their tech man checked out my video and said that the level of noise was 'normal' for them. You can hear the clunk of the switch as well as the squeak of the spring, all amplified by the enclosure.
But great freaking pedal...
just watched war dogs and now i'm here.
Who needs drummers anyway?
Tad expensive....
Dude why didn't you just pay the box guy?
"It comes with more than 23 styles of music." So . . . 24?
Does it have african genre?
The BeatBuddy has a world genre folder with different beats as default. Also, you can change the drum set sounds to a percussive to simulate African beats. Feel free to email at support@singularsound.com for any further questions.
Dude, get rid of the piezo pickup on that guitar.
it needs a click count in
Whoever programmed my beat buddy
Is an overplaying drummer who might be fired after the 10th gig if he didn’t chill
Just when you think you find a usable beat they go and put a stutter somewhere that isn’t needed and chances are ruins the song
purpose built for christian music
cowbell joke...nice
It's cool, but does it do the pornhub intro...
ok im here just looking for people to play with you dont need a pedal get me lets jam someone anyone in ct want to make some music
were you at bro? hope you are close,im comin over
It's crazy that this guy used to be an arms dealer for the USA, AEY Inc.
