Roland SPD-SX E-kit using external trigger pads.

A walkthrough of my Roland SPD-SX E-kit setup. I'm using the kit as a midi controller for the SSD5 drum plugin in this video, but you can use this setup with samples loaded on the SPD as well.

Roland:
Sampler - SPD-SX
Hi Hats - CY-12C
Snare - PDX-100x
Kick - KD9
Crash - CY-8

You need 2 x stereo to dual (split) mono 1/4" cables.

This is
I like having an acoustic kit,
But with floor space and room in the studio I can't justify another full electric kit,
But this setup is WAAAAYY more compact,
I reaaaally like this,
I had no idea you could plug external pads into SPD,
This is genius,
I will highly consider this in the future,
Thanks for the detailed breakdown,
I much prefer the SPD + a few externals with splitters over a full kit and drum module etc.etc....
Thanks a lot for the demooo

Thinking of getting the new spd sx pro to do something like this and I'm pretty convinced the extra inputs will make it super easy

I’m working on doing the exact same thing with my Alesis Strike Multipad at the moment! …has its challenges for sure.

[mitchmcturtle]

This is sick. I’ve considered doing this exact same thing

Can't really fit a small edrum kit in my room and bought one of these after finding your video :D What holder do you use for the snare? I found the MDY-12 from Roland for the CY 8 so far

I would love to see a major metal band going on stage with such a drumset! Huh!

[cirocarbajalcastro]

Sería genial que me ayudes a instalar con doble zona se puede instalar?

Very good, where can I get these sounds for the spdsx?? hug from Brazil

Am I right in hearing a bit of sepultura and rage against the machine in your drum sample playing? 🤔😆🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

I have a question?
1st I have the Roland Spd-sxe & I have a Roland electronic set-
My question is, can I midi sounds out of my Spd-sx & assign them to different pads on the Drum set? Will that work??

Thank you for your time-

[zsub]

Awesome! What boom clamp did you use to connect the pdx-100? Can "peace DA-114" connect?

[thanoscarr]

Amazing! How do you do to use HH control? I`m thing to change my SPD-30 for a SPD-SX, but I read that is not possible to use a HH control pedal in SX. Is that true?

[loss]

I'd like you to teach me how to connect hihat to drumpad
I think it can't be done.

[OliverOliverio]

How do you control hi hat open and closed positions?

[glystongracias]

super cool set up!! hey man can i connect the roland kd 10 to the spd sx ? and what trigger type should i select? since the spd sx doesn't show kd 10

[TheOneMonk]

Thanks for the overview. Could you pls share what arms/rods you are using to attach snare and cymbals? Looks like everything is attached to the SPD SX stand?

[Detorion]

can you play along a random song -e.g. from youtube - and get it all in phones with the drum-set output?

[daniells]

What are you using for your expression pedal?

[mircosapienza]

Big idea 💡 great !!! I have a question … if i have roland pedal kt10 can i use it for hi hat control ?

[robertf]

What computer program are you using? Logic, ableton, ect??? How did you get the SSD drum sounds on your computer into the SPD-SX? Thx
