Killer sounds you can tweak to perfection





The SPD-One Percussion drum pad comes loaded with a library of 22 realistic percussion sounds, adding a ton of options to your kit right out of the box. Want to use your own sounds? No problem! Just connect it to your computer via USB and drop in the WAV files you want to play. Once you've loaded up the samples you want to play, there are several onboard options that let you further customize your SPD-One Percussion's sound. For starters, you can tune your samples up or down to get them to fit in with the rest of your kit or to create cool special effects. Speaking of effects, built-in reverb and delay are also great ways to make the most of your drum sounds.





Integrates into any drum or percussion rig





Whether you play with your hands, sticks, mallets, or some other method, your Roland SPD-One Percussion drum pad is happy to oblige. In addition to setting the volume and effects, the sensitivity is totally adjustable. As for mounting, you can stick the SDP-One Percussion to any tom, cymbal, or mic stand you have on hand. Finally, there's no need to bother with extra cables (unless you feel like picking up an optional power supply), since the SPD-One Percussion drum pad runs efficiently on four AA batteries.





SPD-One: a new direction in virtual drums





Twenty years after launching the original V-Drum line, Roland is still at it, revolutionizing the world of virtual drums in exciting and creative new ways. The SPD-One combines the standalone modular approach of the traditional SPD series that drummers at Sweetwater already love in a format that lets you build the exact kit you have in mind. Want to add an electronic snare or tom? No problem. Replace your kick with a pad? Piece of cake. Build a full kit or just add the pieces you want; it's all up to you with Roland's SPD-One series.
