I just picked up the SPD-SX Pro a couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. I had to sell my acoustic kit a few years back, and since then just haven't had room for one. The flexibility, connection, and programming options make this perfect to satisfy that itch to play without turning my house into an obstacle course. In addition to its obvious value to performing drummers as an accessory, I can attest that it makes a great kit stand-in for when you just gotta play.

Nice, I've been looking at this to scratch that same itch. I'm in the same boat, used to have a big acoustic kit, had to sell it, my soul cries out for it. Looked into Roland and Efnote e-kits, thought "These look great, but I don't know if I have room for this." But I think I could take this, over time add a kick pad, double bass pedal and hihat pad/stand and snare pad and be set.

Great video. Been using the SPD-SX for 10 years or so and love it, but this new one is icyyyy. Love the addition of 8 outputs via usb and 8 trigger inputs. I could see a lot of drummers using this to run 8 channels of tracks via Ableton while simultaneously running 0 latency samples onboard the actual pad. That's what I always wanted to do but the original SPD-SX was way to limited with outputs.

In 2004 I bought an spd-s (no x) named it Harvey and somehow got mono samples from big pro tools session onto a 512mb as card. I bought 3 as we toured a lot. Roland gave me Harvey Jr (add x) when it came out around 2013. It was like a new world. Now this … Harvey Jr Jr.. is pro. He’s sitting in a box ready to play. I’m scared. I live sampled orchestras and beats and stuff from our albums and triggered it with my left hand while playing. I’d pop it with my finger stick in hand. 512mb! through 2012. I always had it left of high hat. I have v drums and kicks I could hook up but never do. The coolest thing was I never used a laptop on stage. Good stuff Crowder! Sup Fort Wayne Tiberius I’m gonna call. I promise! I’m very tired. Apologies all as this is likely nonsense to all but a very good old band. Go Harvey Jr Jr (pro)!

Hi Shawn and thanks a lot for your REALLY helpful tutorials about the new SPD SX Pro!!! I used the older SPD SX for more than 7 years and thought about to upgrade this wonderful tool in my set up which I used a lot in band context but also and specially for my drum solo concept. The new SPD SX Pro is fantastic and offers me on the one hand a lot of new features which I enjoy very much! B U T--- There is one fundamental feature I can't find ???? I can't believe that Roland didn't thought about it !!!!!! When I have 9 loops and install them on the 9 pads of the old SPD SX it was no prob to switch from 1 to 9, then to 6, back to 1 and so on. Every time I hit a new pad the one I used before stopped playing. You could simply adjust that with the 'Mutegroup 1' option. With the new SPD SX Pro this doesn't work as a general setting. You can adjust that pad 1 should stop playing when I hit pad 2, but if you go back to 1 again pad 2 still continue playing. You can not switch in an improvisational way with all 9 pads. I can't believe that Roland didn't thought about that !!!!! OR I didn't find the clue for that..... Can you help me out with that ????????? Or someone else??? I#m looking forward to your feedback! Thanks a lot and regards from Germany. Andi

Main difference is Octapad has only built-in sounds and you can't add your own sounds. SPD-SX has both. Octapad is more beginner-friendly. I started with that for a year around 2012 until I outgrew its limitations, and then sold it and got the SPD-SX.

Love this pad but I can't figure out how to make that pedal feel good. I played with some of the on board settings, but I really don't have a clue what I am doing yet with this thing. When I rock my foot heel toe, I get a trigger and its closed closed hat instead of open closed. Maybe its me and my technique, sometimes I can move my foot around and adapt to some weird motion with my foot but the hats have just never felt right. Also is there a way splash the hats with my foot to get a crash like with traditional hats? You should sell a SPD X class. I'd buy it.
