What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Load it up with samples, loops, and more





The SPD-One WAV drum pad is a blank slate, allowing you to load it up entirely with your favorite WAV file samples. Simple naming conventions let you define sounds as one shots, loops, phrases, and more. Want to run a click track? No problem. How about a shaker loop? It's easy. The SPD-One WAV is everything a creative drummer could ask for in a simple sample-player pad. What's more, there's MIDI via USB onboard, so you can even use your SPD-One WAV to take your favorite virtual instruments onstage.





Integrates into any drum or percussion rig





Whether you play with your hands, sticks, mallets, or some other method, your Roland SPD-One WAV 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 WAV 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 WAV 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.
