Very Attractive

Have owned my existing BeatBuddy from 2019 but simply couldn't resist buying this black 10th anniversary edition. The BeatBuddy has been playing a brilliant part in my 3 piece band for over 2 years now and love that it can be used straight out of the box or can be customised to create my own drum tracks, playlists and even even drum kits using the BBMO. I was originally looking to just get the Midi Maestro to go with my existing BB but upon seeing the black 10th anniversary edition couldn't stop myself getting them both. I'm now on a slight learning curve with the MM added but am more than happy it will eventually simplify the basic control but also enhance and improve our band with even more control in the future. For practice or live the BeatBuddy never misses a beat and keeps time perfectly. I always considered myself to have pretty decent timing but the BB has taken it to a new level. Above all it is far more interesting to practice to than a standard metronome but if you are trying to improve your guitar or bass playing it could definitely be well worth it. I also love the screen info and the visual metronome. The screen is not just to help you know what song and drum kit is loaded up but also provides lots more info while playing along. Truly great bit of kit and in black it has to be said, very attractive.

Solid

Love the easy interface, very simple to program. Love the visual metronome. Wish you could program an entire song. Some songs it's diffucult to transition parts if you are using other pedals too. The BB manager UI could use help but overall is easy for anyone to learn to use. I am having a lot of fun practicing with this pedal!

Perfect for one man bands

The beatbudy drum pedal is perfect for one man bands who need to create great beats in a hurry...I use it on all my songs now, and its sound and punch is amazing, really cuts through the mix...plus you can turn the beat tempo up or down on the fly which is great for blues and rock songs.....

Good product but realy bad choice! No repairs possible.

I enjoyed my Beat Buddy for few years now. But suddenly for no reason it stop working. I have tried to bring it to music repair shop there is nothing to do. Even the music shop tried to get intouch with the company to send theme to fix the bugg.... Nothing to do. It seems that there is some issue with update or else and there is no way to fix the pedal. So i'm stock with a 400$ pedal with the foot switch ready to throw in the garbage. I have never took out this pedal from my basement. No way to repairs.. 50$ to trash for the services, no reparation possible wow Beat Buddy...slow clap!

Well worth the money

I have two Boss loopers with rhythms, the RC-3 and the RC-500. The BB easily adds more flavors to practice. I can plug it into any speaker system or amp as a standalone item. Switching beats is effortless, lightening fast, and the choices numerous. If I was starting over, I'd forgo the quality loopers with rhythms for the BB and an economical looper unit. The variety of uses and the quality of the sound justify the cost. The Black Anniversary unit is cool.

I was accused of copyright theft by SoundCloud

SoundCloud says I stole a beat directly from a Gang Star track called 24/7. I disputed the claim. It's being reviewed by them. Outrageous. Other than that? I love your product, have enjoyed it for over 10 years.

Deep grooves

Disgruntled Customer
Dishonest marketing

They released Beatbuddy 2 four days after I received this 10-year old product. Their website said nothing about Beatbuddy 2 when I placed the order for the 10th anniversary edition. I returned the product paying the shipping fees out of my pocket. I had no issues with the product itself, but I felt cheated by Singular Sound, not being upfront about the release of their successor product.

Excellent support

Some time back now, I had issues working out how to set up and change my songs on the Beat Buddy, but Daniel went over and above any product support I have ever had. He persevered until I was completely on top of it. Thanks so much !!

Drumming that feels real

Forget about using stale backing tracks. With BeatBuddy I control the groove myself, and the sound quality is incredible. The 24-bit samples and 32-bit processing make the beats sound natural and dynamic, like a live drummer is in the room.

Responsive

This is not a static backing track. It behaves like a live drummer who follows your lead and responds to your playing, which makes the music feel alive.

Essential for solo performers.

Solo acts will love this. I can move through sections, add fills, and keep perfect timing while still playing guitar or keys. It truly feels like having a drummer right at my feet.

Studio quality in a small box

This delivers professional sounding drums in a compact pedal format. The color display, MIDI connectivity, and headphone jack make it an ideal studio companion. Just be careful, it might steal your spotlight.

Versatility in every style

It easily moves from rock to jazz, reggae to metal, and beyond. I can shift styles instantly and even explore unusual time signatures like 5/4 or 7/8. It is the most versatile rhythm tool I have used.

Road worthy and reliable

Unlike a real drummer, this one will not hit on your girl. I think. It sits on my board feeling solid and dependable. In high-pressure live situations it handles transitions and tempo changes flawlessly.

A partner for creativity.

This is the most reliable drummer I have ever worked with. The variety of included genres and the option to build custom arrangements in BeatBuddy Manager make it perfect for writing songs. It captures ideas quickly and keeps me inspired.

Looks sharp and works hard.

The matte black and gold finish on this edition looks fantastic. Underneath the style, the performance and specs are top notch. It is both a functional tool and something that stands out visually.

Hands-free beat mastery

This pedal lets me stay in total control of my rhythms without taking my hands off my instrument. Starts, transitions, fills, and endings are all easy to trigger with the footswitch. I can keep the show moving without missing a note.

I Love it but have one complaint

The ONLY way to power it off is to unplug the power supply from the wall or from the input on the pedal. No on/off capability. Wow.
