Not All Great Drummers Are Human
The BeatBuddy is a pedal that gives performers complete control over the beat while playing live.
So while you play your instrument, you also have control over the drums.
We live-sampled professional drummers at full dynamic range to make the beats in the BeatBuddy.
When you hear the drum patterns and start to control them live, it is truly like a human drummer playing along with you.
Play right out of the box:
- 10 drum sets

A Drum Machine Designed For Musicians Not Technicians
Visual Metronome
The moving line shows which beat is currently playing in the measure. (A 3/4 beat will have three lines, a 4/4 beat will have four lines, etc.).
Choose Your Own Drum Set
Your thrash beats sound awesome on the metal kit, but you might want to play them with brushes or even on a hand drum.
