We were very fortunate to see a great demo of the new Roland Octopad system - see our dedicated news item.

All the beats in this were created only with the on-board sounds, which when combined with the excellent playing of Michael Shak add up to something pretty special.

 

For the full skinny on these pads I point you to our original story right here.

Awesome demo! Kind of funny though: an Englishman goes to the US to see a Belgium man demo a Japanese product... Got to love the global music business! :-)

Yeah - like that, great great demo, that guy had it all sorted out. Thats how your demo your kit, full ON!

Roland are really leading the way with v-drum technology, another great addition this one.

Best demo of the show and probably my biggest "I want it" product. If only I could play that well...

Too bad Roland is the worst company for support. You have to wait YEARS to get software updates, drivers or firmware no matter how mission-critical the problem might be. This same issue seems to exist with all Roland/Boss/Edirol products.
