Nice tutorial man!
Thank you!
THE KJ Sawka from Pendulum commented on this video and he only gets 1 like? Bro, I am a fan!
I am a total noob. A singer trying to navigate making my own music for the first time. I always had highly skilled musicians around me so didn't need to worry, just had to nail the vocal. Have purchased this unit as I am a bit of frustrated drummer in many ways. Made to play clarinet as a kid, I would irritate my parents through constant drumming on my clarinet case in the car on the way to practice. This is a great video my friend. I could follow most of it but the demos you produced had me grinning from ear to ear. 'I have thousands of rhymes inside my mind...' I just hope I can learn how to make them a reality. You have helped immensely. Brilliant.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm really happy that I could help. Keep on creating!
Great video. So glad more of these vids exist now. I remember searching a few years ago and not getting much info. Thanks for making this!
I just purchased this unit and this was a super helpful and very comprehensive overview. Thanks for the good start!
Great! Have fun with your SPD-SX!
This was a fantastic video. You have helped to unlock this device in just a very short amount of time! Great work!
The best tutorial ever! Also really nice to hear you play in the end, beautiful playing.
Thank you!
Excellent walk through! 💯
Im waiting for mine in the post after years of deliberation.
watching this video because I know im not gonna be looking at the instructions. Thanks for the in depth video!
duude that drum and bass beat at the end was sick
Thanks!

Zachary Johnson great! Enjoy!
Fantastic Video !!!
This tip may be obvious but it took ages to figure out the following : When using the phones output for in ears ..really advisable to use a stereo cable ! ( we had problems with the click dropping out until we used a STEREO LEAD) 🙏
Finally a video that really help to know the pad. Thanks, it requires time but it worths.
Thank you, I’m glad it helped!
Amazing performance at 23:30 some nice jungle/drum n' bass breaks right there!

Great work!! Thank you!!
Thank you for making this video!
Great video! I was looking at the TR-8S, but I think this will be more fun to play with since I play drums.
Thanks! It’s definitely very inspiring to play electronic drum samples on the SPD-SX. And there’s many more possibilites with it!
Super awesome video for noobs like me! thanks
Thanks! I'm glad my video could help you!
Great job bro! thanks a lot.
I'm planning to buy one of those soon
Thank you!
Thankyou very much
Excellent t'es au top mec !
great great tutorial finally upgraded from an alesis sample pad 4 !!!

Thank you!
Amazing! Thanks for your effort, Bro! We'll use it hopefully soon for our DJ Live Gigs on stage ;-)
E.Q.T. Thanks!
Great tutorial!
Daniel Jennebratt thanks!
Awesome video
Thank you!
Thank you man!
Thank you for the video 👍👍
Great Tutorial👍 Thank you
Thank you!
Great tutorial! As a first time user, it really helped me get the lay of the land and overall functions to get straight to a gig with my own wav files on board.
I've come across a strange issue though, I created percussion loops at 120 bpm, imported them to a kit set to 120 bpm, but when I play them back they are at approx 111 bpm?! Have you (or anyone else reading this thread) come across this issue? How do I make sure that my wav is going to play back at the correct tempo. I should also say that my goal is to be able to use the tap tempo feature to get these percussion loops to play back at various tempos.
Nice video bro! Just didn’t really manage to understand how to customise the sounds of each pad. Could you explain how to do this lol
Helpful
Were you going to create a video to show how to use this as a light controller?
terrific
ok, ordering it now - great video, thanks!
Sean Thompson thanks! Have fun with it!
@@TheHybridDrummer Will do, man - it ships tomorrow from Sweetwater, I'll have it by the weekend lol
PS Following you on IG now, looks like you dig it a lot yourself!
The 2nd song tho🔥🔥
Duuuuuuude thank you so much! this video helped me a lot! ;)
Great! Thank you for the feedback!
Very good teaching 😊😊 😊
Thank you!
Great tips, thanks! A doubt, my guitarist want to send me a midi clock, the metronome light of the Roland recognizes the tempo change, but the loop that a play from the Roland don’t (I create the loop directly from the Roland) hopefully you can help me, thanks in advance!
hi sir, thanks for this video. i have the SPD SX and i want to use 4 external trigers for it ,but i have done all the settings and is still not working .i have pluged in 2 Y cables to be able to you the 4 triggers but is only the triger 1 that seems to work. can you help me
Great Video, thank you.
Thank you! I hope it helps!
Nice. Thanks.
Very Helpful Video💯🤝.
Thanks for the feedback!
thanks
Great video! I've been using the pitch shift to drop the 808 cowbell to -1 for I Wanna Dance With Somebody. But now I experience latency. I tried it with another sample and the same problem. Any idea?
Check out the wave start and adjust it.
Just watched some of your videos...really good work man, thank! I have one question about sampling on the SPD SX... do you know how many layers the samples can have when sampling in external sounds? i.e when one hits the pad softly you get a sublte sound and when one progresively hits the pads harder you get pregresively harder sounds... I know that the Alesis Strike only has 2 layers which I guess makes doing drum rolls sound very 'machine gun like'... do you know if the SPD SX is any better in this aspect, like does it have lets say 10 layers, are the pads velocity sensitive and can handle a high number of layers? Thanks again! :)
I don't know exactly how many layers are there dynamics wise, the pads are velocity sensitive and definitely have more than two steps in volume. You can do a decent crescendo with the sounds.
Fantastic video. Question: is External Control in the midi section of the kit menu just local control for individual pads? Does that mean it can function with a usb to an external device and still play sounds within its own bank?
thanks! in the kit menu you can set it individually for each pad
A+ cheers!
God bless You abundantly
Is there a way to copy multiple pads to other kits simultaneously?
thanks a lot. is it possible to play 2 sounds on 1 pad with different dynamics? for example a hit it soft the 1 sound will play, if i hit it harder the other sound will play
Unfortunately no. The Octapad has such feature for layering sounds with velocity change.
Great tutorial my friend. I don’t even own one and I watched. You wouldn’t happen to have the same kind of tutorial for a octopad spd 30? If so could you please give me a link? Thanks 🙏
Thank you! I have a comparison video about the Octapad and the SPD-SX, you can get some information about the Octapad in that.
th-cam.com/video/XFhMm5ITkBU/w-d-xo.html
But I'm planning to make a detailed review about that too, hopefully sometime this year.
awesome vid. I have a quick question. how do I set different tempo clicks to each pad?. I'm looking to set each pad with different click tempos for worship purposes, cheers
Thanks! With the internal metronome you can only set one tempo / kit. If you want a different click on all the pads in the same kit, you need to import click track files in wav format to your pads.
@@TheHybridDrummer thanks for your reply I appreciate it. I'm kinda new to this, would really appreciate a a little help lol. So how does this importing the click files work, and where would I be able to get these click files?
kind regards
@@lukash1350 Contact me on facebook or instagram!
Very curious about what that Visual Ctrl does
Hi, thank you very much! Can you please tell me which pedals are connected to the spd-sx.. Thanks
I used two Roland KT-10 pedals
Hi, nice vid. Can the Spdsx be the masterclock and send midi clock to sync other stuff?
This
Hi there, great video/production. Quick question: What kind of cables do you use for the audio inputs when sampling? Are they 1/4 unbalanced TS cables? Asking in regards to sampling cheaper synthesizers which only have a headphone out. Thank you in advance for your time.
Hi! Thanks! I'm usually sampling from my phone, so I use a cable with a stereo 3.5mm jack on one end and two mono 6.3mm jacks on the other end. I think you should do the same with the headphone output of your synth
The Hybrid Drummer Thank you for your reply! I really enjoy your content.
How can execute loop timing after recording in spd sx?
Hey man, awesome work, thank you very much.
I wonder, don't you think 4Go are enough? I don't realize clearly what it represents.
Also I saw that we can save drum kits and settings on a USB device, right? Which means we can save a lot of memory out of the pad when we don't need it? This is why I tend to think 4 Go can be enough.
Thanks again!
Thank you! I think 4gigs memory can be enough if you dont't use too many backing tracks. But of course you can save your samples to a USB stick,but to play them you need to import them.
Excellent video! I forgot I was watching at 1.25x speed and when it got to the playing examples you were really cooking! 😂
Hahaa :D
jajaja same!!!
Tabarnak c bon!
Cool!
Thanks!
This is great! Thank you. Is there a way to get it to save a kit tempo without going into programming?
Thanks! You can only save it if you go to the kit menu. Changing the tempo on the mainscreen with function button 3 is not gonna be saved
The Hybrid Drummer Aha. Thank you.
@@LisaCummings You are welcome :)
Great!
Brent Haskins thank you!
What are you using for your triggers? I noticed a separate unit lighting up near your hihats. Also I didnt see anything plugged into your trigger ports.
In this video I used the Roland TM2 trigger module to add sounds to my kick and the snare. I also use the TM6 PRO which has more inputs and outputs.
great now off to buy one
That's great! You'll love it! :)
@@TheHybridDrummer just got it. I am super excited. Thanks for your video it's very helpfull
@@honeydisco i’m happy that I could help! Have fun with it!
Hi, Good tutorial, is inmediately posible changing bpm, without changing the kit?.
For example:three songs that needs same kit, but diffent tempo,.
And changing fast supposing no breaks between songs. Thanks o. Advance
Great tutorial! I've understood that the outputs are unbalanced, so I would probably need a di-box when sending to the FOH right?
Yes!
@@TheHybridDrummer Thx fo a quick reply. It's so odd that the info about the outputs is nowhere to be found in the manual. How did you find that info?
@@kidamazed i learned it by experience
Can you bend the pitch of a sample on a pad with a hihat controller?
No. You can do that with the TM6 PRO for example.
I have a questionnaires is it possible to route the headphones output separate from the Master Out. If its possible, het want to use the Headphones as extra outputs. So I will have 6 outputs instead of 4.
Hi! On the headphones you'll always hear everything, you cannot set the routing of that unfortunately. If you go to the kit menu and start changing the routing of a pad, you'll see that the headphones output is always active. But it would be cool to use that as and extra separate output :)
DO any of the triggers on the back enable you to plug in a hi hat pedal (which I already own for a Roland full electronic kit) AND ENABLE THE OPEN/CLOSE FUNCTION OF A HI HAT???. To me this seems like the only thing missing that would enable me to use this pad as a full kit for low-key, "quiet" gigs.
Unfortunately, no. You can do ti with the Octapad, I use that for small gigs sometimes.
Is there any build in instrument sounds included in spd sx se like spd 30 v2?
Yes it comes with a bunch of built in sounds but not as many as the spd 30 but you can import any sounds to it
What stand are you using with the SPD-SX?
@thehybriddrummer thank you for the informative videos, I have an Alesis ControlPad, I can use great sounds and samples in Ableton live, which is great, however I can't connect an Ipad to it or iPhone, I got this kit to have access to percussion sounds and I found this great app DrumJam that has really good sounds and functions, ie when you heit the same pad multiple times the sounds are slightly varied to give them a more natural feel, however the app is not available for mac or pc, only iPhone and ipad as it was intended to also be played by hand on these devices. So I am looking for something similar to the ControlPad, 8 pads, ability to Hook it up to both mac, and ipad, I think yamaha dd65 can do it but it's ugly as hell and the surface is even harder than Alesis pads. Which one would be more suitable in your opinion, spd sx or Octapad? I really want to use that app so connecting the ipad is a must. (BTW I have also found another product, Carlsbro Octo A, basically a copy of Octapad, that could also work for me but there aren't many videos in English, and no tutorial)
Hi! I have another video on my channel about connecting an iPad with the Octapd, that method might work with your sample pad as well, check it out. It's called "How to use your Octapad as a MIDI controller"
@@TheHybridDrummer OK will definitely check it out, thanks
@@TheHybridDrummer hey, thanks for the tip, that is exactly how I tried to connect the ControlPad before and it didn't work, when I hit the pads the light indicating midi notes created isn't even coming on, I first thought it's the app itself, but when I use the camera kit I can connect the ipad to my electronic kit and use the app with no problem, I contacted Alesis and they said the ControlPad was designed to be used with a mac or pc so ipads won't work, I even tried an external power source maflde for the ControlPad but I am still getting a message ont he ipad: device not recognised. Anyway, thanks for your help, The Carlsbro Octo A is £199, and if it can loop, that would be worth considering over the octapad at £450 used.
@@TheHybridDrummer hi, I was wondering if for example you can connect a midi controller (such as Akai for finger drumming with many other function) and an Octapad in a chain to Ableton and get to control more functions (fx, echo etc) manipulating the Akai while affecting the performance of the Octapad or any percussion pad in general? some simple and cheap midi controllers can be so functional yet really expensive padsbfor drummers seem to have limited functionality, ie the yamaha dtxm12 has a bunch of functions the spd sx doesn't have or the Octapad can't do vica versa.
kit tempo is hard to save if changed during practise with band
Can you import multiple set lists in the spd sx
yes
