Thank you Jordan. This is ridiculously fun - just spent an hour playing with songs and samples from my phone.

[@jaycelogan1087]

Fucking genius. I was wondering if I’d ever sample using the audio in. I didn’t really see any use for it till now. Thank you!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

The SPDSX is my favorite toy. use it all the time.

[@voederbietels]

Hi can the new SPD SX PRO split a song into pads sequentially and in one go like this SPD SX?

[@rebecaperalta5863]

Good video

[@sunilkoparkarmusic934]

Too good.... U played awesome ...👍

[@dariousmarshall2838]

Very helpful video

[@waltergabriel1943]

Thanks for this

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Well done!

[@suarezroberto]

Thank´s for your tutorial! Could you tell me how it works the opossite way? That is: you show how to start a sample part and then play over it...but how we manage to play our drums and then start the sample part...how we set the same tempo, etc.? Thank´s in advance...

[@thewolf6675]

Very cool and I’m like 1000

[@TheSharonHarman]

BRILLIAAAAAAAANNNTTT

[@fitness_drummer]

Great video, once u have assigned your tracks/samples to the pad, they just save to it dont they. U dont have to add them and have ur phone plugged in everytime u want to use it do u? Once its setup thats it, unless u change the sounds again yeh?

[@markmcmahan8719]

yup

[@guitarjeffmontgomery]

Thanks for this!! :-)

[@roxdevlinhorton1639]

This is really helpful, thanks. Does anyone know if you can change the tempo of samples (without affecting the pitch?)

[@user-ij5rj8wl9c]

is that Betty Davis at 4:12 ?

[@MathildaMusicOff]

Hi, beautifully done. I'm just wandering if we need to have a computer or a phone to make it work? Or we can just use the machine by itself live? Thanks a bunch.

[@BNLNRD]

You could just hook up an instrument to the audio in and sample that. Or a mixer with a bunch of instruments.

[@chadcurry9819]

What kind of cable goes from iPhone XR to audio in input? Thx

[@mattoloffson8206]

how do you delete stuff off of a pad? It just keeps adding a new kit.

[@Natalia_Teja]

What cable do u use for connector the phone and the spdsx?

[@hafenklauselautensack6030]

great video. I like your ideas with that live sampling. I actually can´t use it because I get no signal when using the audio in. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Would appreciate any help pretty much!

[@jessecarmona9359]

Soooooo, how are you hooking up your iPhone to the spd-sx?

[@tdrum21]

That track guitar intro reminds me of JB give it up turn it loose

[@bam090507]

How can I adjust the tempo once I upload the sample ?

[@arielsuave]

That sounds like a fantastic feature.. can you adjust it? Is it possible..?

[@HamDrumss]

Can I live sample any thing into the SPD-SX. Such as a key board

[@WazzapMate48]

How many pads can you loop at a time? I know on the spd30 you can loop 3 different things

[@BeakerArk]

What cable do you use to connect the phone to the pad?

[@anzelledewet2779]

PLEASE elaborate on that kit?

[@QuentinORHAN]

Does anyone have been able to do that with SPD-SX PRO ?

[@bbidrums]

How can I delet THAT after?

[@bailey12444]

Anybody out There. Can I do this upload with the Alesis strike multipad

[@von_freiesleben64]

lol that's alabama shakes in the beginning

[@gabrielstaniecki]

great drumming, SPDSx is only a device

[@magmarecords9727]

BABY detectd¡¡¡

[@NoStringsAttached88]

I’m not nearly creative enough....

[@wildbird78]

Yes you are.

[@cresk]

Don’t buy the SPD-SX because it’s Roland’s biggest failure! I’ve had the special edition sitting in the box for two years and thank god I got rid of it for a good price.
You can’t just edit decent seamless loops without utilizing some sort of awkward formula. Roland could have made the SPD-SX the go-to killer machine, but company simply ignores the most requested features people are screaming and bagging for. Their customers are most unfortunate because of the lack of this. They could simply add more and better features into a firmware update to make the looping aspect better and effortless. Instead they lack any request and at least Alesis listened carefully with the release of their Strike Multipad.

[@ajdc88]

this girl is good, this video is fun, but do drummers really do this stupid shit?

[@chadcurry9819]

What kind of cable goes from iPhone XR to audio in input? Thx
