I own this pedal. Drums sound very good. It works good and if you don't like the rythm it gives you, you can tweak it a lot. It saves 48? rythms i think so when you get it just right it's there for later. It has a tempo knob and a volume knob, so that alone makes it better than a real drummer! 😂
@@Mike-qy9zf I have one and can confirm it does do fills, despite your claim to the contrary; when you change from one part to another -- e.g., Verse to Chorus, Chorus Bridge, et al -- it does perform a little fill at the end of the phrase to let you know it's about to change.
The SDRUM is the coolest drum machine in the confines of 3 parts; Verse-Chorus-Bridge in either 3/4 or 4/4. You can create up to 4 measures of a beat pattern, and it has simple AI that can take a Verse to create the Chorus and Bridge sections. You can also change the kits for each section and tweak them each part, after You create a beat. It’s geared to either use the pads for bass kick and snare OR use Your guitar or bass to read You strumming a beat on the low strings for bass kick and high strings for snare section. Then the AI makes the rest happen for You. You can also move where it starts playing on each section like say You’d rather use the Chorus part instead of the Verse part, You can set it up to do that too! I like the unique sound of the SDRUM because it’s not like a typical Roland or Korg beat machine. Pair it with the Digitech Trio+ and You’ve got a massive band happening. One thing to note is both machines have NO MIDI Clock functions. But Live and Studio are incredible pro machines. The SDRUM can store up to 72 Songs.
I do recordings on my Boss looper pedal, and it's a bit like using an old reel to reel in some ways. I use the SDrum for my drums, and, for me, they do what I want extremely well. If any of my recordings sound ok, it's mainly because of the SDrum!
I have the SDRUM and the beat buddy. The User Interface is not very intuitive. It sounds good, but compared to the beat buddy, there are a tons of features missing, when using it live. We used the beat buddy to play entire gigs. Not possible with this one, but nice for practising.
@@frontcentermusician Ditto, I had both & sold the BB. ....also, if you have a beat in mind for a riff, you will have forgotten it rummaging through all the BB patterns....& what you eventually select will be a compromise. With the SDRUM.....bang....nailed it within a few seconds! When you deep dive into the SDRUM, all 3 parts can be programmed separately, and with different BPM's. Midi out allows syncing with a looper pedal.....Digitech Jammans, but I am currently using with Aeros & Boss RC500.
I have a Linn Drum machine and it's the way to go.... it plays( in perfect time) any beat or tempo until it's blue in the face and doesn't even get blue in the face !
aye aye ayee...I was a drummer for 15 years and switched to bass about 4 years back. Man did I back the wrong horse...and then switch to the right horse
Think about it, If this pedal existed back in the 1960s, when Larry Graham’s Drummer Originally got Fired, (for Larry to come up with inventive ways to keep the ‘backbeat’ on a bass guitar) we wouldn’t have “slap bass” today. (as we know it)
Clever little pedal. I have the Beat Buddy but like how easy it is to roll your own with this one. Also gotta agree, Frank's got the best bass face. I like that Yamaha he's using. What model is it?
This looks like an awesomely awesome device to have. This is great for the solo gig guy. That's for sure. I love the T-shirt! Bass Face. That's exactly what I was thinking when I looked at him! That's fucking great! That is very funny. Oh yeah Frank Itt. Now that's what we call a Real Studio Bass-ist. Yeah baby! RemyRAD
I have had one for a few years (along with the 3 way footswitch) and yes it is fun and the drums sound good. I also gigged it for a while. You do need a lot of reading and patience to get the most out of it but the main problem is support because Digitech got bought by Samsung (as part of the Harman group) and development stopped. I have heard that another company has bought Digitech from Samsung so maybe things will pick up.
Good news :) Biggest problem, for me with the Sdrum was no way to backup your settings. It has a USB port but no backup to PC facility. With a gigs worth of songs programmed and it being so easy to zap something (or the Sdrum getting lost or stolen) it was a big risk.
@@Pinkeye82517 It did have a midi interface but it wasn't advertised. If you internet search you can find out about it. 'Harman Canada Engineers who developed the SDRUM also clandestinely included the ability to sync MIDI devices to the SDRUM via the JamSync connector. The SDRUM must be the master since it only sends these MIDI commands. We have been casually testing this over the past few weeks and it has been working consistently, so we are willing to share with the public. This is not considered an official feature since it was initially included for internal use/testing/future dev only'.
@@Pinkeye82517 Has an output which is compatible with midi. I have used with Aeros & Boss Loopers. Will start & stop loops & keep sync. Increasing BPM will increase looper BPM in sync. You can pause SDRUM, & looper keeps playing.
My buddy is a drummer. I play bass. We want tracks to jam with. I have not found many here on YT that sound good. 70 Year old guitar players are scarce around here. They have a short shelf life, I think.
Très gros point noir de cette pédale : l'absence de mémoires pour sauvegarder ses réglages. Je l'ai revendue quand une autre personne l'a utilisé et du coup m'a fait perdre tous mes réglages.
Where do you pour the alcohol in at? There is no way that thing will hold 24 quarts of beer. I also didn't see a speaker or anything to put a mic up to when it insists on being the lead vocalist, either.
can i just have the bass player? i promise to feed him and buy schnapps (not the cheap piss)..and i wont try to make him play generic pop algorythms....or make him wear sequins....?
I find it funny how i look all day on TH-cam for demos of strings and basses and all the bass players suck so bad they do the product a disservice...here the bass player is super good demontsrating a drum product😂😂😂😂

Lovely to see Frank cracking up with a big ol’ smile. A treasure.
Dude's bass-face is awesome!
I've had one for a few years, but what impressed me most is your bass playing! Jam on!

So I guess it's no good to practice with it to black metal shit? or anything other than basic rhythm
This thing can't play fills. How lame is your music? 😅
You must Not know a Real Drummer.
@@mikecunningham6154 old joke- how do you make a drummer play slower and quieter? give him sheet music.

I beg to differ. Works great live. Sold the Beatbuddy. too sanitized.

Its' Frank's world. We just live in it.
The bass face is strong in this one
Take that pedal on stage when you are playing in front of an audience with no real drummer.
Not bad..You need a BassFace pedal to go with it! 🤘😜
Wow, this bass sounds fucking great.
Cool pedal too.
I have a Linn Drum machine and it's the way to go.... it plays( in perfect time) any beat or tempo until it's blue in the face and doesn't even get blue in the face !
So ein cooles Teil...und Frank ist noch viel cooler, watt eine Groovesau! ❤️👍
Pedal shmedal, bought 3 shirts. The Bassface got me.
I would love to be able to cut the bass kick a bit once the volume gets higher
aye aye ayee...I was a drummer for 15 years and switched to bass about 4 years back. Man did I back the wrong horse...and then switch to the right horse
I’m sure you did the voiceovers for the piggie guy in “Sing”… absolutely the same voice!
Great video by the way, thanks.

Frank should have a groove crash course haha
He's so involved, I love it
I wanted this 20 years ago. Now I have plenty of actual drummers
I hope you weren't attempting to sound cool because that would be pretty embarrassing😂
Bass tone and lines in the intro so tasty!
Clever little pedal. I have the Beat Buddy but like how easy it is to roll your own with this one. Also gotta agree, Frank's got the best bass face. I like that Yamaha he's using. What model is it?
A whole new meaning to "stomp box." 🙂
This looks like an awesomely awesome device to have. This is great for the solo gig guy. That's for sure.
I love the T-shirt! Bass Face. That's exactly what I was thinking when I looked at him! That's fucking great! That is very funny.
Oh yeah Frank Itt. Now that's what we call a Real Studio Bass-ist. Yeah baby!
RemyRAD
I love Frank's playing
This shirt is the thing I never new I wanted.
Very neat ...tad expensive for me though
Interesting. I gather you could use this with a 6 string electric?
yes.

Cort bought Digitech and they just rereleased the SDrum. They seem very committed to get Digitech back to old glory

WE USED IT ON ONE OF OUR LATEST SONGS......THEY ARE GREAT FUN
I need this pedal. And a dour faced bass player. Greetings from New Mexico!
Perfect funk stank face during the bass intro. Props. Must have taken years to get that face right 😀
As a drummer I think we should have a gadget to replace the guitar player. Ha!
My buddy is a drummer. I play bass. We want tracks to jam with. I have not found many here on YT that sound good. 70 Year old guitar players are scarce around here. They have a short shelf life, I think.
Being a drum player you should learn to play guitar and play along with a looper pedal.
"What's the difference between the SDRUM .. And a real Drummer"?
"You only have to 'Punch the information' into SDRUM Once"!! ...... 😆
I don't care about the pedal; I just tuned in to listen to Frank groovin'.
;-)
Great video! What about a review of Beat Buddy pedal?
Mr. Funk Face; himself kicking it out! Like the pedal.😌🎶🎸👍🏾
Love the production of this video❤
Does it do blast beats?
Does this pedal have any control over velocity/ dynamics for different parts of a song ?
der dicke kann ja echt geil bass spielen, hammer
I am a guitar player! A open noted fretted note master! I would just need it for rock/heavy beats only!! No disco here~
That is one angry bassist
Next year: Your new pedal is a drummer
Anyone know which model of the Yamaha bass is this?
Can it do odd time signatures,e.g., 11/8?
😂😂😂😂 Yessssss! That shirt is awesome😂😂😂
Très gros point noir de cette pédale : l'absence de mémoires pour sauvegarder ses réglages.
Je l'ai revendue quand une autre personne l'a utilisé et du coup m'a fait perdre tous mes réglages.
The bass player is now my favorite bass player on Earth.
You don't need to spend money on this if you have an iPhone (even the 5s will do) and a killer app like Lumbeat's Funk Drummer. Endless possibilities👍
This pedal allows you to perform live and recall entire song structures by using the Footswitch. That‘s where apps can’t compete
I wonder how far we are from AI drummer. 'Hey AI I want drumming like Blue Monday but start out slow....now speed up'
Not far for sure. It’s the logical next step. And not just drummers
can you do a video showing more want sdrum can do like for heavy rockers like my self
Chubby is a Pleasure to Hear/Watch!!
Frank Itt. Wow!
We need one of those pedals for bass player replacements.
what is that yamaha bass?
Where do you pour the alcohol in at?
There is no way that thing will hold 24 quarts of beer.
I also didn't see a speaker or anything to put a mic up to when it insists on being the lead vocalist, either.
Best comment of the day. 😂
Wow, that thing is pretty cool!
lol, just seen the price… not so cool. I can buy a real drummer for that price and just keep them in the basement.
😂
And they will bring pizza
and the beer !😂
well he can frown
where to buy such a fantastic t-shirt?
Here: bit.ly/3I5fe0O
Astonishing 😮
I have the BeatBuddy Mini2 but damn, I like this!
Ouwaa! Ich möchte lieber meinen Schlagzeuger Job behalten!! ;)
400 bucks? HAHAHAHAHA
Why do bass players always look like they're trying to have a bowel movement when they play? ;)
Wow!!!
Bass Face King🍻
What about TRio + ???
I really can't tell you what "PEDAL" means in french !
why i can hear the terminator while watching this video?
what bass is that
That Yamaha BB605 sounds deliciously burpy and punchy.
Cool ❤
The Shirt is mega
It needs midi, how could they not think about adding it?
You’re awesome
Hope they replace bass with cold sterile noise
Toll 👍
Hi guys. Thanks for your content. This one scary. Hmmmm.
Great pedal for introverts.
Der Kommentator schaut aus wie Frank Itts Sohn :D
0:30 STANK FACE ALERT
What happened the the other basstheworld guy?
Bass Beachmaster
That face!! :D :D :D
Sorry Lars.
299 EUR? it was 99 EUR 3 years ago! Anyway, it is a fun little machine / drummer 😀
SEND ME ONE GREGOR I LIKE
I miss René
Your bass player is scary
This man goes beyond bassface, rather it seems that something smells horribly bad wherever he plays.
... otherwise known as "stank face". 😶
Nice like his father😂
Well, i got rid of the bass player on my band just using an octave pedal...how about that...
Do you feel threatened by a little metal box? Wanna talk? 😉
can i just have the bass player? i promise to feed him and buy schnapps (not the cheap piss)..and i wont try to make him play generic pop algorythms....or make him wear sequins....?
diggy tech😂
I find it funny how i look all day on TH-cam for demos of strings and basses and all the bass players suck so bad they do the product a disservice...here the bass player is super good demontsrating a drum product😂😂😂😂
There needs to be "random speed up, slow down and drool" controls to more closely mimic a real drummer.
Not what i hoped for , i'll pass .
