Thanks for choosing the DigiTech® SDRUM™
Strummable Drums™ Pedal. The SDRUM is the
world’s first intelligent drum machine for guitarists
and bassists. The SDRUM provides a quick, fun
way to create professional-sounding drum
patterns for practice sessions, exploring song
ideas, recording, and performing.
There are two ways to create drum patterns with
the SDRUM: using the pads or using BeatScratch™,
a proprietary technology that allows kick/snare
patterns to be created by simply scratching the
upper and lower strings of an electric guitar,
acoustic guitar (with pickup), or bass. This allows
the SDRUM to learn drum patterns using a
method commonly used by guitar and bass
players to explain a beat to a drummer.
Once a kick/snare pattern is created, the "right-
hand" drum element (hi-hat, ride, tom, etc.) is
automatically added to complement the drum
pattern. The right-hand drum element can then
be further edited to suit the song.
The SDRUM can learn up to 3 parts per song and
store up to 36 songs. Each song and part have
various settings that can be adjusted at any time.
These include time signature, feel (straight or
swing), embellishment amount (how busy the
part is), part intensity, tempo, and more.
The SDRUM's drum sounds, from RealiTone™ and Digital Sound Factory®, incorporate samples using multiple
velocity layers, for realistic dynamic expression. Tasteful random beat variations, added ghost notes, and
humanization keep the drums interesting and provide the feel of a true performance.
The SDRUM offers five drum kits to select from, covering a wide range of genres. Alternate kick/snare sounds are
also available for each kit. The drums are internally processed with Lexicon® reverb, so reverb tails decay naturally
and are never cut off. All of this means that the SDRUM can generate drum tracks that sound very natural,
powerful, organic, and authentic—all with minimal effort and time spent.
