Digitech SDRUM Strummable Drums 5-stars Reviews

Sdrum pedal

Great pedal with brilliant drum effects

Very useful rehearsal tool

A drum machine with great sounding samples AND played with a mere strum of the guitar. Sooooooo cool.

Very good pedal. Sounds good and has variety of options.

My best partner

That's for me! I had BeatBuddy - sold it, stayed with SDRUM and that one is the second one I bought.

Yeah, it god some issues, sure, like everything, baut that thing is so creative and useful on rehearsals and gigs - best playing partner.

A limited drummer inside a pedal on command.

amazing pedal to spontaneously create music.

Digital Drummer

A great choice to play and practice at home. Very useful and with many options.

Very Clever, Lots of Options

Like lots of many clever things it's complicated.

A little persistence, however, results in great sounds. We have managed to get rhythms we wanted both simple and complex that we had given up on with out beat buddy. Once they are in the pedal is easy to use, and syncs our Jam Man very well. You can alter tempo easily and just about every feature is adjustable. One small gripe is that it does not appear possible to back up to a computer. We are using this at gigs, as well as our beat buddy coupled with an EH9500.

At last a usable drum pedal!

I've tried old school Alesis, and newer Beatbuddys & Trios , Korg mini etc - this one beats them all. Its a natural process of feel the beat - tap it in either with the button, or scratching the string - I prefer button, and you're away. I tend to generally just use the kick button, because it generates a support for the other hihats etc - theres hardly any need to tap in the snare. If anything , the simple kick plus self generated accesories gives a more usable rhythm than adding the snare - it sounds less like a drum machine to me and a more acceptable support.

It takes a while to grasp the complexity of setting it up, and using the storage, but after an hour or so of perseverance - you get there!

Havent used it live yet, but I will probably give it a try one day.

The sounds are realistic enough for a low key gig to me!

I did buy the FS3X after a couple of days, and it's well worth it - easier to tap in beats (finger button for kick drum beats then hit the pedal to learn) also for adding fills & cymbals to make it more human! Also to stop - this way you can have the pedal at arms length for control.
