About Roland SPD

The Roland SPD series builds on Roland's long legacy of bringing electronic technology to drummers. Roland have pioneered electronic percussion technology for almost 40 years. With the launch of the Pad-8 Octapad MIDI controller back in 1985, Roland perfected giving acoustic drummers the ability to add digital sounds to their kits, without taking up a lot of real estate with large pads. Jump forward to the present day, Roland presents the SPD series, which brings drummers and percussionists the ability to add their own sounds to their setups. Simply load your own samples or backing tracks into the SPD-SX or SPD::ONE WAV and you're ready to rock.
