Roland SPD30 Octapad Total Percussion Pad
Expand your drum kit with the Roland SPD30 Octapad, and get access to 600 drum and percussion sounds from around the world, plus phrase looping and USB MIDI.
With a redesigned layout, the Roland SPD-30 is optimized to handle the playing of even the most punishing drummers. For starters, it's got a super-strong display sturdy enough to standup to all those misplaced stick hits that are bound to be a regular occurrence. Complete isolation between pads eliminates cross-talk (when you hit one pad, it won't accidentally trigger its neighbor), and the triggers themselves are evenly distributed all the way across each pad. This is an extremely important feature that frees the percussionist from worrying about stick placement: even if you strike the edge of a pad, it will sound as clearly as if you hit it dead-center. And, for low-light situations, pad indicator lights show exactly where each pad is and let's face it, what club/bar/stage isn't a low-light situation?
Watch out our quick overview of the Roland SPD30 Octapad Total Percussion Pad:
When you want to rock a djembe or cajon with the same technique you use in real life, the Roland SPD-30 is sensitive enough to trigger with your hands and fingers -- so you don't have to adjust your playing technique. The SPD-30 Octapad is designed to ensure that you consistently get the sound, tone and feel that you meant with each and every stroke.
Note: Sampling pad only. Drum triggers, throne, and pedals NOT included. read less

Expandable, Not Expendable
The SPD-30 Octapad features 4 dual trigger inputs for connecting a host of other devices, pads and triggers. Want a portable mini-set you can bring to a gig that won't accommodate your 40-piece Super-Kit? No problem, just… read more hook up a V-Kick Trigger pad with a bass drum pedal and a cymbal pad or two and you've got a full drum set that takes up a fraction of stage real-estate. Maybe you want to trigger loops that you've built in other programs right from your acoustic kit. Again, not a problem for the SPD-30 Octapad. Just hook that external sampler right up to the SPD-30, mount it all by your acoustic kit and BAM, powerful triggering in a compact housing.Oh Yeah, it Sounds Awesome Too...
The SPD-30 Octapad includes an impressive 670 internal soundscapes. Besides the realistic and pure drum and cymbal sounds, it also features an array of synths, basses, and melodic sounds so you're anything but limited. Ever wanted to be an entire drumline? Well, the SPD-30 includes incredible sounding drumline, orchestral percussion and world percussion sound sets that'll satisfy even the most outlandish craving.Phrase Looper
An innovation in percussion triggering technology, the SPD-30 Octapad features Roland's "phrase looper" for instant live loop creation. The phrase looper allows for a layering of up to 3 parts which can be saved as a "phrase" to the instrument's memory bank or a flashdrive. These phrases can then be assigned to a single pad for quick and easy loop triggering. You can even apply a host of effects from the on-board effects engine for all the sweeps, EQing and drops that your crowd can handle.Note: Sampling pad only. Drum triggers, throne, and pedals NOT included. read less
