SPD::ONE Kick : Very Good

6 years ago

Used in an acoustic/live setting: It's good. The sounds you get are very effective however I may have been better with just a regular stomp-box as my partner has one and it actually sounds better than this (obviously you don't have the variation options with a stomp box but you're splitting hairs with the variations any way).

Notes:

* I find it hasn't got good grip on the ground therefore it slides away from me mid-playing at times which will need to be sorted out. Also it slides up towards my mic-stand too which triggers the sound which is annoying.

* I at times amn't that accurate with my foot placing and end up hitting the knobs at the top therefore changing the sound/effects mid song which is a hassle.

* It's hard to know where to put your heel as if you have it on the ground you can't really get as good a sound out of it compared to if you hit it full on. They should have wrapped the rubber around the front of the device which I think would worked better.

Still though I really like the product other than the few cons.
