Well I was in the market for some type of supplemental perc. multi-pad and had high hopes for the SPD-6. I couldn't wait however, and ended up buying a SPD20 and I love it. Yesterday I was at my local music store and finally saw and tried the SPD6. What a joke -this thing looks like it was made by Fisher Price - it's TINY. IMHO way to small to play live - the sounds are ok but way too limited MIDI applications etc.. I really don't know why they even made this unit and for $295 - you would be better off getting a used SPD11 or SPD 20.

I can agree with you man! In the Netherlands, the advertisement says it has a MIDI OUT, so you can control other devices or record it.
Playing back what you have just played would be very useful too!Music was my first love... -

Honey, I shrunk the OctapadRobertComment

Yes, but the price is way to high, it should cost about the same of the Yamaha DD-50 or DD-55 considering what it does...Music was my first love...Comment

SDP20 - real nice I highly recommend. Hey Harlock what's up with the v cymbals? Have you received them yet?Originally posted by Harlock:
Guess its true...
By the way, would someone have a list of the different multipads (still being manufactured) available?

I was luckily enough to win an SDP-6 at an E-Drum expo. I've used it for several months now and it is great as an additional 8 triggers to my V-Customs (six pads and two foot switches). I don't think I've even listened to it's onboard sounds, I've just midi'd it up to the TD8.
I use it for cow bells, guiro's, reverse cymbal, hand clap, chimes . . . really all those things that you might only use a few times through the night: and therefore dont want to tie up a 'normal' trigger for.
Sometimes I've even used three pads as toms; giving me 6 toms on the kit . . it works fine
Okay, so the pads are small, but it's just a case of being a little more accurate; or developing a better technique . . . the bell of a cymbal is small, but we can all hit that when we need to can't we?
I think the SPD-6 is a great addition to any V's: certainly cheaper than buying 8 separate triggers.
But I did get it free .........Andy

While not an extensive listing, the following link shows several lines of pad controllers available:

It's nice to see KAT was back in business. Their DK10 looks like a much better pad than the SPD-6. Does anyone know if their mallet line has returned?Comment
