DigiTech has launched its new SDRUM Strummable Drums pedal – the world’s first intelligent drum machine for guitarists and bassists.
By simply scratching across the guitar strings, guitarists and bassists can teach the SDRUM a kick and snare pattern that forms the foundation of the beat they want. Based on this pattern, the SDRUM supplies a professional sounding drum beat with different embellishments and variations.
It can store up to 36 different songs and beats are played from a choice of five different kits covering a wide range of genres. The pedal also supports three different parts (e.g. verse/chorus/bridge) for each song that can be switched for enhancing live performances and exploring song ideas.
