Why We Love This
  • A Must-Have for Indian Percussionists Performing Live: As a tabla and dholak player from Delhi who performs in fusion bands, the SPD-20PRO gives me endless versatility. From mridangam to kanjira, all the Indian percussion tones are spot-on. The pad response is excellent on stage, and I can switch between kits seamlessly mid-performance.

  • Perfect Companion for Devotional and Wedding Gigs: In cities like Indore and Bhopal, I perform regularly at weddings and bhajan events. The SPD-20PRO is easy to set up, and the Indian kit presets sound rich and authentic through a PA system. I no longer have to carry multiple acoustic instrumentsβ€”the pad covers everything I need.

  • Reliable for Studio Use in Bollywood and Folk Projects: Working as a session artist in Mumbai’s recording circuit, I rely on the SPD-20PRO for layering Indian rhythms into tracks. The sampling is clean and expressive, with enough depth for film music and folk arrangements. It connects easily to interfaces, and the MIDI functionality is a big plus.

  • Durable and Travel-Friendly for Touring Musicians: I travel frequently across South India for Carnatic fusion shows. The SPD-20PRO handles rough handling well, fits neatly into my flight case, and sets up in minutes. Whether I’m playing with a band or solo looping, it gives consistent output, responsive pads, and incredible tone quality.
