DigiTech SDRUM Strummable Drums Pedal – Used

Quick Product Summary

The DigiTech SDRUM Strummable Drums is an intelligent drum machine designed specifically for guitarists and bassists. Its unique BeatScratch technology lets you create a kick and snare pattern simply by scratching rhythms across muted guitar strings, with the SDRUM automatically building a complete drum groove around your idea.

This used example is in Good condition, showing visible signs of previous ownership and regular use. With storage for 36 songs, three song parts per arrangement and multiple drum kits and groove variations, it is a powerful tool for practice, songwriting and solo performance.

What Makes the DigiTech SDRUM Special?

Rather than forcing you to browse through long lists of preset beats, the SDRUM allows you to teach it the rhythm you already have in your head. Scratch the kick and snare pattern on your guitar or bass strings and the pedal generates a complete drum performance around it.

Each song can contain up to three separate parts, making it possible to create verse, chorus and bridge sections with different intensities. Five drum kits, alternate kick/snare sounds and a wide selection of hi-hat and ride patterns provide plenty of scope for shaping the final groove.

Who Is It For?

The SDRUM is ideal for guitarists and bassists who want realistic drum accompaniment for home practice, songwriting or solo performance.

It is particularly useful for musicians who want to develop song ideas quickly without programming a traditional drum machine, and it pairs especially well with compatible DigiTech JamMan loopers through JamSync.
