BeatBuddy : Best Electronic Drum I've tried

10 years ago

Bought the pedal to use in a soft rock/blues guitar & bass trio. Previously tried Alesis, Korg, and Digitech devices, but this one works best for me. To get the best out of it I use it with the 3-button footswitch, and run into a small PA with a sub-woofer. The latter is important if you want to get the thump of the kick drum even at low volume. I find the 3-button pedal essential for live use to scroll thru setlist & pause functions, it would be even better if it could control stop/start with a single hit.(that would also allow the BB unit to be kept within hands reach)

PROS:

Very good clear display (important when it's on the floor!)

Great realistic sound

Good rhythms

Easy hands-on control for quick change to tempo etc

CONS:

High price

Editing Software is difficult to manage, esp for Mac, but they are working to improve that I believe

Better integrated 3-fn pedal needed
