Drum Up Some New Percussion Sounds!
Roland has accomplished more in the world of electronic percussion than just about anyone else. That includes electronic hand percussion, as evidenced by their HandSonic HPD-15. At this year's NAMM Roland announced the second member of its HandSonic family: the HandSonic 10 (HPD-10). More affordable and streamlined than its big brother, it offers the same great pad response that made the original HandSonic so popular, but with a specialized set of features and a fresh batch of sounds, rhythms, and effects.
Roland HandSonic 10 Features:
- All-new sounds and patterns (approx. 400)
- 10 individual pressure-sensitive pads
- Large icon-driven LCD display
- D Beam controller for sound/pitch/effects control
- New metronome function with backing rhythm patterns
- 20 multi-effects
- Rhythm Coach function

"What a joy to play!!! Now you can take your hand drumming skills to the MIDI world and have fun. The pressure-sensitive pads allow for unique muting, slapping, and other expressions you just can't do with a run-of-the-mill MIDI hand controller. Oh, it also sounds great too. This is a must-have for anyone playing live or recording any type of ethnic percussion."

"This thing is great! The Roland HandSonic 10 is perfect for any hand drummer looking for portability and ease of setup. It comes loaded with over 400 high quality, great sounding samples and with the built-in Rhythm Coach training excercises, you'll have fun while you improve your timing. You can even add a kick trigger and hi-hat trigger so your feet can join in on the fun! And, with the headphone output and quiet rubber pads, I can play all night long without incurring the wrath of my downstairs neighbor!"
