The SPD-20 incorporates a much larger wave memory than the popular SPD-11, giving drummers and percussionists 700 sounds with greatly improved resolution. These new sounds range from acoustic drums derived from the V-Drums ( TD-10 ) - like jazz, old-school, funk and rock drum kits - to expressive world and ethnic percussion instruments and even classic and quirky electronic drum sounds. Users can configure these sounds into banks and assign them to any of 8 velocity-sensitive pads, ready for instant triggering.
The SPD-20 answers the needs of several different types of musicians: the acoustic drummer or percussionist who's looking to add electronic sounds to his performance but doesn't want to use a full electronic kit; the MIDI musician who wants to compose more natural sounding rhythm tracks by playing like a real drummer; and the drummer who simply wants to practice his chops and develop rhythms at low volume using the SPD-20's headphone output.
