Description

SDRUM is the worlds first intelligent drum machine for guitarists and bassists. By simply scratching across your guitar strings, you teach the SDRUM a kick and snare pattern that forms the foundation of the beat you want to hear. Based on this pattern, the SDRUM supplies a professional sounding drum beat with different embellishments and variations to perfectly complement your beat. Gone are the days of having your creative flow disrupted by searching through lists in a frustrating attempt to find the beat you want. The SDRUM stores up to 36 different songs. Beats are played from a choice of 5 different kits covering a wide range of genres. The pedal also supports three different parts (e.g. verse/chorus/bridge) for each song that can be switched on the fly for enhancing live performances and exploring song ideas. SDRUM is the fastest way to go from a beat idea to a working drum track.

  • Much better than expected, would definitely recommend.
I was a little leary on this since the reviews are kind of back and forth. Bottom line, it sounds great and is EASY to get a really great beat out of it. If I had to guess the three places people are going wrong with it: You can't blast a full signal at it. I turn OFF my compressor and roll the guitar volume to about half give or take. (humbuckers) With too much signal its hard to pull off more intricate beats. For me personally I pluck the low E with my Thumb for the kick, then pluck the high E for my snare. For my personal play style, this is more comfortable for me than strumming, and it seems to work perfectly. Next, it doesn't sound all that great through the guitar amp (no surprise) but into a decent PA speaker (I use an EV ZLX12 that is self powered) and it really sounds amazing. I have a lot of experience with programming and recording drums for the past 20 years and I can honestly say the samples sound really high quality. Perfect in a mix. Last is that its too complicated. Its not. It LOOKS complicated with the unfamiliar style of knobs, buttons, and lights and what not but when you actually spend 30min on it with the manual it becomes how apparently easy it is to control. Its NOT a plug and play pedal like a dirt or reverb and it sounds like that is what people are hoping for. Its still not that hard though. In 30 minutes I was up and running and after another hour of practicing with it I was good and changing sounds and feel on the fly with lots of different drum fills. SOOO nice!! You do have to have some drumming skills though.. several of the videos I saw of demos online were with people that very much lacked. Final thought. If you have a quality PA to use with it, and the patience to sit down with the pedal and manual, and of course some drum talent. If you want a plug and play pedal that shoots out premade drum tracks then I would suggest the BeatBuddy. This pedal shines for making your own, and does is very well. ... show more

  • Great drums in a pedal format
There are a lot of ways to get backing drums for guitarists but they are usually pre-made loops to choose from. The SDRUM allows you to make custom drum loops, for both a verse and chorus, with an automatic fill between the two. Meaning you can create a full (but fairly simple) original song for drums to play over. Teaching the SDRUM a pattern is like showing a real drummer a rhythm with a guitar. You can trigger the kick with low strings and snare with high strings. Or you can manually tap it in with key pads. After recording a measure or two of a pattern the SDRUM generates the drums. It has several types of drums like Electronic and Power for different voicings. There is a huge amount of hats/rides patterns to layer on top of the kick and snare. An entire dial is dedicated to just that, with 3 versions of each pattern as well. You can dictate 3/4 or 4/4 timing and switch between straight time and swing time feels- which is awesome for filling out a basic song or just trying something new with the same pattern. Each part of the song can be emphasized too, which just adds more dynamic range to a basic verse/chorus/fill structure. Does it completely replace a real drummer? No, but the SDRUM doesn't show up late to practice either. You can adjust the tempo and it even acts as a metronome for practice. Just a great tool for anyone that needs a drummer in a box. Being able to quickly make up new patterns opens up more creativity than just using premade loops. The SDRUM can store a bunch of 'songs' you've made drums for as well for easy playback of that idea you were toying with the other day. It does a lot but is pretty straight forward in actual application. Once you learn how to 'teach' it patterns, and how to set up verse/chorus 'songs'.... it's all just fine tuning and is mostly just experimenting with the knobs. Almost as easy as using pre-made loops. I find it much more interesting than the loops most pedals and DAWs use. ... show more

  • This thing is magic!
The SDrum pedal is a game changer. Adding it to my pedal board has made the drum loops feature of my Nux Loop Core Deluxe redundant. The SDrum may look complicated, but the controls are intuitive. There are many demo videos on YouTube that will show you how to use the pedal while inspiring you to create amazing pieces of music. The SDrum has a jack dedicated to connecting to a Digitech looping pedal, but I had no issue making it work with the Nux Loop Core Deluxe. The ability to push drum kit sounds through a guitar amp is a relatively new phenomenon, and the SDrum sounds great through my Bugera Infinium V22 and my Line 6 Spider III, but I notice that the drum sound randomly causes "clipping" so now I only use it with the Line 6. For the inexplicable clipping I've deducted one star for Sound. Bottom line: the SDrum pedal plus a looping pedal have already made me a better guitar player. The progress I've made in the 3 months I've owned the SDrum might be the fastest progress I've made in all the years I've been playing. I would buy this pedal again in a heartbeat. ... show more
