Digitech Sdrum Demo & Review | One Ray

Do you know if this would work with a keyboard? I love all of the different drum sounds it offers!

[@OneRayMusic]

I imagine it would. You would just have to do the calibration for the keys you’d use for the kick and snare. I’ll have to try it with my keyboard and let you know. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!! 😊

I wonder if it would trigger from any muted string, say if you wanted to use it on ukulele or bass.

[@OneRayMusic]

I’m pretty sure it would. You would just have to do the calibration with the instrument you use to trigger the sounds. If you get the chance to try that, you’ll have to let me know. Thanks so much for watching!!

@@OneRayMusic that might have be a tax return purchase

@@DaveHilling Nice! My tax return usually goes to new gear also! 🤣

Hi, I can’t find the answers I’m looking for anywhere online, so hope it’s okay to ask here! I want to play live guitar to accompaniment of drums going through a drum amp and looped bass going through a bass amp, with option to switch both bass and drum parts during the song. Crazy how hard it is to figure something out to make it work 😂 Will the SDRUM and JamMan combo allow for this? Also, can anyone comment on how the kits sound for heavy rock or doom along the lines of Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, or Sleep / Electric Wizard? Thanks!

You can plug the Sdrum into a direct box or directly into your mixer and have it go through the Pa. You should be able to sync bass with it through a bass amp or PA as long as you use an 1/8 inch cord to connect the Sdrum and JamMan Looper. I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions.

[@OneRayMusic]

The pwr drum setting is probably best for Black Sabbath type sounds.

@@OneRayMusic Thanks for your reply and help! Still trying to understand… I guess a more direct question is, can I use the mixer out on the Sdrum to send the drum part straight into my drum amp, or is it the wrong type of connection (balanced / unbalanced)? This is for live performance mostly at home - I don’t have a mixer. Alternately, is it possible to link with the JamMan for the purpose of syncing the timing, but send the JamMan loop (bass part) directly into a bass amp, without going through the Sdrum? That way I could use the instrument out on the Sdrum to send the drums to my drum amp, without the bass part having to go to the drum amp too.

[@whateverman999]

@@OneRayMusic I’m not sure what the purpose of a direct box is - would that allow an unbalanced connection to be compatible with a balanced one, or vice versa?

@@whateverman999 I’m so sorry for my delay in responding! YT only notifies me the first time someone comments but not with follow-ups. I need to get better at checking my comments! Yes, you should be able to go from the Sdrum’s mixer out into a drum amp. I always put the Sdrum first in my pedal chain and the Looper at the end. Yes, you can go from the Looper into your bass amp. And yes, a direct box converts a 1/4 inch into an XLR to go to a snake and then to a mixer. I hope that helps! Keep jamming! 🍻
