Dave Bryce Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I've got one on the way. VERY excited for this... Anybody got one? Played one? Thinking of getting one? dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I have the first version, stumbled into it on craigslst. HPD15? something like that, the one with the ribbon controllers - still sought after for that reason. Paid $145 for it since it's beat up and I have to use the headphone out to get left and right channels into the DAW. I put a TRS to dual TR set up in my little front input patch bay in my rack. TRS from the headphone out and 2 cables to channels 7-8 in back. Very powerful tool, LOTS of sounds you can play. I've got some small rubber headed mallets that I use sometimes instead of hands, it won't hurt the pads any. I don't think you can beat it (sorry, pun!) for what it is. Also has MIDI in and out, I've never used those but I do have some cool drum plugins so I should try it. I also have a Korg Wavedrum Global. You can rock out on the Roland but the Korg speaks, super expressive. Only one or two sounds at a time but you can get a nearly infinite level of subtle variation with it. Between the two of them I got my studio drums! Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I have two. The older HPD-15 and the newer HPD-20. Love them. Even though the HPD-20 is newer and has updated sounds I still consider my HPD-15 to be the main. Really fun when you connect foot pedals and play as a cross between hand drum and trap kit.

Dave Bryce Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Really fun when you connect foot pedals and play as a cross between hand drum and trap kit. I have both the foot pedals. Love it - drums for keyboard players. My favorite thing is being able to tap on it as lightly as I want and still have it pick up the trigger. The nuanced control on this thing is way more fun that I thought it would be. The D-Beam is somewhat intriguing, but I can"t quite seem to work it into anything I"m doing...yet. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaellewis Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I recently got the HPD-10 and I’m really loving it. Connected a boss FS5U today for kick sounds, then ordered a Roland KD8 for better control. Still learning but really loving the HPD-10. There sure isn’t much useful info about it online though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought was to set it up to trigger a gong sound. Never did get around to it. 1 Quote This post edited for speling.
