Roland SPD20 Total Percussion Pad |
|
The Roland SPD20 is a compact rhythm powerhouse. There are 700 percussion sounds onboard, triggered by 8 highly sensitive drum pads and up to 4 external drum triggers. Drummers who want to add a flexible pad-and-sound-module combination to their existing drum kit will be blown away by the SPD20. Electronic musicians who want a more organic way to create MIDI sequences will love it. In fact, the SPD20 is so straightforward to operate, that musicians of all levels (and MIDI know-how) will be jamming within seconds. If you need professional sounds and triggers but don't want to move into a full-blown digital kit like Roland's V-Drums, the SPD20 is the perfect option. So, let's dig in, shall we?
