A Digital Percussion Pad You Can Play with Sticks, Hands, or Feet

Every musician is unique; your instruments must complement your creativity and performance style. The Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad lets you play how you want; this compact digital percussion pad can be played with drumsticks, hands, or even your feet. What is more, you can adjust sensitivity and trigger threshold settings in seconds by using two control dials on the side of the unit. Drummers and percussionists will love the solid feel and natural rebound, guitarists can confidently stomp on the team for four-on-the-floor beats, and practically any musician can play sounds by hand without fear of sore palms and fingers at the end of the night.

Import Entire Songs, Backing Tracks, and Clicks

The Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad can import and play WAV audio files. From backing tracks to individual samples like vocal phrases, drum sounds, and musical sequences, if you can record it, you can load it in the Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad and play it. Importing audio is very simple: connect the unit to a PC or Mac via USB, and then drag and drop your files. Samples can then be triggered in different ways using a host of playback options, such as polyphonic, monophonic, or alternate. With the Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad, playing your own sounds at a gig has never been easier.

Play Click Tracks Simultaneously-and In Sync-with Backing Tracks

Playing with backing tracks brings studio-level production to the smallest of gigs. And with the Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad, anything you can record in the studio can be brought onto the live stage. But to stay on time with the backing track, you will need a click track, and the Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad can help. Imported audio click tracks that you create in your DAW to accompany your backing track will play simultaneously. But here is the clever bit-while the backing track can only be heard via the main and headphones outputs, the click is automatically routed to the headphones only for stage monitoring. As you play, the volume balance between the backing and click tracks can be adjusted using the Balance Mix knob. The headphone's output is designed to produce ample volume for monitoring, ensuring you hear the sound even on loud stages.

Layer Audio Files and Customize Your Sounds

While the Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad is simple to use, it can also handle some seriously creative setups. Up to three audio files can be layered together, so a single hit can produce three sounds at once. Imagine hearing a deep 808 kick sound combined with a hand clap and vocal phrase-this unique layering function has endless possibilities. You can even trigger different sounds by playing at different velocities. For example, when playing hi-hat sounds, you can trigger a closed hi-hat by striking gently and an open hi-hat when you hit harder. The Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad makes it easy to put on a performance with surprising versatility.

Easily Fits Into Your Existing Instrument Setup

The Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad is compact enough to fit into your existing instrument setup without needing to move your other gear. With the included mounting adapter, you can easily clamp the pad to a hi-hat, cymbal, tom stand, or even a mic stand. Alternately, the Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad can be played without mounting it to anything at all-simply place it on the floor, a tabletop, or any solid surface.

Portable and Built for the Road

Thanks to its compact size and battery operation, you can take the Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad wherever you want. It is lightweight enough to be dropped into a bag or instrument case, and robust enough to travel thanks to its metal-body construction. You can even play and produce your own sounds on the move via headphones, and include them in your set list that night.

Easy Control Using Just Four Knobs

Operating the Roland SPD-One WAV Percussion Electronic Drum Pad is very simple. There are no complex submenus or button sequences-just select your sounds by turning the bank selector to any of the 12 positions and hitting the pad to play. With just four main knobs on the front panel, everything you need is at hand, including the ability to customize sounds, adjust overall volume, and balance levels on the fly.
