Roland SPD-30 Version 2 Octopad is a very robust musical instrument which is very easy to learn and use for live performance. It is compact and light in weight which makes the Octopad easy to carry. It is a very versatile instrument having a whole range of drum beats built-in. You can create own beats by using recording feature. I have connected the Octopad to Electronic Drum for enhancing the drum beat sounds. Easily able to play sounds of Indian percussion instruments. Experience with the Sales person while ordering was excellent. Appreciate the timely delivery.
