Love your review. This is exactly what I need to complement my acoustic drums set and I can go back to disco fever era from the 80-ties :PPP

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

Thanks, glad you love it! Haha Be sure to send a video link when you have arrived at the disco fever era. 👍

[@johnnyschmittou]

Great playing, BTW!!

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

Thanks!

[@morten1]

I thought the "variation" let you have alternating samples for playing soft/hard. Maybe it does both

[@friasdrums]

What could I connect this to if I'm playing a small bar gig? An amp?

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

Steve You could for example connect it to a mixer that goes to the PA and a monitor (for your listening). It really depends on the size of the venue. If It’s a very small bar gig, you might even get by with connecting it directly to a monitor, that could work both as a monitor for you, as well as the PA for the crowd. An example of that would be the Bose system.

[@theVISHNUSHARMAcompany]

can u play it with foot?

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

Yes!

[@johnnyschmittou]

It looks as though you have the Roland pad mounted on its own stand - completely separate from any other stands or gear. Is that correct? (And I assume you are doing that to prevent "false triggering" of the pad.)

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

That’s correct - it’s on a separate stand here. It certainly makes the false triggering aspect easier, but the main reason was that it made for a more flexible set-up (easy to set it up exactly where I wanted it).

[@johnnyschmittou]

@@RICHARDSANDSTROM thanks, that's very helpful and good to know. Thankfully I already have a few spare stands. ;-) Your demo was very helpful and I found it better than the official one provided by Roland. Just curious, are you Swedish? Cheers.

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

Glad you like it! 🙏🏻 Yes, Im Swedish:)

[@johnnyschmittou]

@@RICHARDSANDSTROM cool! I live in the Dallas, Texas, USA area. I used to work from Ericsson from 1990-1993. I worked w/ several Swedish guys there. They were all quite nice people. HMU on FB if you'd like. Cheers.

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

That makes me proud to hear 🇸🇪🙌🏻 What does ”HMU on FB” stand for. Didn’t quite catch that one.

Vilken strömadapter är rätt för Roland SPD 1e?

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

Här har vi den: www.trumslagaren.se/product/boss-roland-psa-230s2

[@Simpaboy93]

@@RICHARDSANDSTROM tack! Nu är jag en stolt ägare av en egen SPD. Det var din video som gjorde att jag tog beslutet att våga köra på den. Tack!

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

@@Simpaboy93 Va fint! Det är en grym pryl 👍🏻

[@MJXtube]

What is the proper way to connect this to a mixer? Direct Box?

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

Mark J I would def. connect it through a DI-box. That’s actually what I do when using it live.

[@PezrulezHaakon]

It sounds much like the MC303 and 606 in its original sounds.

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

PezrulezHaakon Haven’t heard of the MC303 before. Gotta check it out.

[@PezrulezHaakon]

@@RICHARDSANDSTROM The Roland MC 303 is more of a sequencer. But the drum sounds are very similar to this pad :)

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

PezrulezHaakon Interesting! Thanks for the info. 👍🏻

[@briangarciaorellana3693]

How many samples can you import?

[@RICHARDSANDSTROM]

brian garcia orellana You can import 1 user sample - maximum 5 seconds length, WAV format 44.1 kHz, 16 bits, mono / stereo.

[@grldns]

Just 1 sample?

[@dmgsoultogetherness6667]

Some of the sounds are just far too comical to use or to quiet(shaker).id probably only use about 4/5.
