THE INDUSTRY STANDARD
HYBRID SAMPLING PAD

Since 2011, the SPD-SX has been a mainstay on professional stages worldwide, its distinctive profile regularly seen beside both digital and hybrid drum kits. This landmark Roland instrument sparked the sampling pad revolution with a wide range of tracks, clicks, loops, and one-shot sounds stored inside. Drummers and performing musicians can record, store, and trigger any type of sound on commandeasing the burden of making live performances sound like the original recordings. Along with its sampling and import features, the SPD-SX comes with versatile preset kits and a large pre-loaded sample library, including loops, one-shot sounds, and melodic phrases to spark ideas and create music right away.

Expressive playability with an expansive soundset

Roland’s SPD-SX features an expansive array of dynamic sounds that respond amazingly to the nine velocity-sensitive pads. Snare rolls sound natural, cymbals respond to every nuance of your playing, and percussion sounds have a lifelike feel to them you won’t get anywhere else besides the SPD-SX.

Intuitive sampling

You can create your own samples and loops from playing on the Roland SPD-SX, or from an external audio source routed to the SPD-SX’s 1/4″ inputs. Just press a button to enter sampling mode, touch the pad you want to start recording, and touch it again to end recording and create a perfect loop.

For the stage or studio

You’ll love recording with the Roland SPD-SX, whether you’re using it to play in complete rhythm tracks, or for adding extra percussion effects to your full kit. Onstage the SPD-SX rules: the red LEDs make it easy to see what you’re triggering, and the smart design makes it easy to integrate into a standard drum kit.
