Singular Sound BeatBuddy Drum Machine Pedal Demo

David Packouz from Singular Sound presents their BeatBuddy drum machine pedal. This compact and innovative drum machine is completely controllable with just a tap of your foot. It's loaded with 200 songs covering 21 different styles, including rock, country, jazz, blues, and more. Perfect for one-man bands, singer/songwriters, practices, and more, the BeatBuddy is easy to use and sounds great since it uses actual recordings and loops of real drummers.

I just watched the interview with him on soft white underbelly and what a story. Talk about making lemonade out of lemons. I’m here to check out and possibly buy this product!

From former international arms dealer to inventing cool drum machines. Crazy circle of life. Diveroli is a chump!

@ 10:03 -10:25 talks about the Metronome. The green blinking LED above the display does not blink in-sync with the metronome bar that moves across the display.

Absolutely killer! But man, serious compression on the voiceover! Sounds like Joe Meek vc3! Great demo!

[Sandboxoverland]

I love mine but I have a question... Is the only way to turn it off I have to unplug?

[brunopinheiro]

Awesome invention! Great review! Cool inventor!

[krashdude]

OK for home practice.. Not for performance cuz no sequential memory for the patterns for your live set. Sounds are nominal.

In the market for a beat machine. It's between the BeatBuddy and the Trio +. If you guys had a looper on this, I'd get two. It sounds great. I recently purchased a Zoom GX3 and it only has a 40 second loop time which is ridiculously short. Need more time to learn from my many mistakes. Hahaha. Good luck, David. Great tutorial as well.

Under the blues genre, does it come with the blues shuffle and Chuck Berry style music drumming?

[TheBircat]

David: really great product. Have you noticed every demo of your product has people using their hands on those grotty foot switches? Hummm… Beat Buddy Studio. Just change the form factor to desktop for those of us (recording studios, etc) that don't want this thing on the floor. Switches become pads. No R&D, that's it, just change the package. You could go crazy and break out the MIDI to individual IN/OUT/THROUGH jacks.

[BryanEddy]

Great design David, I love when the machine isn't playing you kick the switch on and it doesn't obsess on vagina.

[mrjayd]

Where can I get the beat buddy branded short patch cable that connects the foot switch to the BB?

[Hundenminhelmer]

What if I wanna play a Walz? A Walz is pretty much a 3/4 so how to go from 4/4 to 3/4? Or in the church I play Amazing Grace - allso in 3/4?

How do you access your patterns quickly? I rarely stick to a setlist. If someone makes a request I need to access the beat pattern quickly.

[trdlife]

Can you download backing tracks in this unit?

[directorbob]

If you add the MIDI Maestro, would the footswitch still be useful? I bought a beat buddy & footswitch from Sweetwater and really want to get the Aeros looper & Midi Maestro. Just wondering if the foot pedal would still be useful. Thanks!!

[brianmason]

If you are thinking of live performance in semi-loud situations the additional footswitch is fine. However, be warned, the switches make an awful noise. I would not take them into the studio for recording. Their tech man checked out my video and said that the level of noise was 'normal' for them. You can hear the clunk of the switch as well as the squeak of the spring, all amplified by the enclosure.

[stephenleonard]

you need a separate amp for that? Example if it is on a pedal chain it will be affected by the overdrive or the delay pedal etc. Not sure where this would go in a pedal chain?

[algomez]

Can this machine play only the bass drum part of a song via midi connnection to DJ mixer or other music source?
