Our Biggest Drop Yet

New for BeatBuddy 2

Autopilot

Intelligent song automation that controls part length, fill timing, song endings, and more—so you can focus on playing.

HD Drum Sets

Larger, ultra-realistic drum sets with 4x the sound capacity and enhanced granularity and depth.

Enhanced Display & Interface

Instantly know where you are in a song with a larger screen and improved UX.

SuperSwitch Support

Unlock powerful new control options with the SuperSwitch, designed to work seamlessly with BeatBuddy 2.

Expression Pedal Support

Shape the dynamics of your performance with responsive tempo and velocity dynamic control.

Unlock Multi-Button Precision Control with the SuperSwitch

Most multi-button controllers only let you trigger one command at a time. The SuperSwitch changes everything. Using a proprietary signal protocol, the SuperSwitch gives you simultaneous, synchronized control over multiple functions—pause and trigger an accent hit, switch parts and start a fill, all without missing a beat. You can jump directly to any song part, trigger half-time or double-time tempo, use multiple accent hits and navigate entire setlists hands free with ease.

Feel the Dynamics with Expression Pedal Support

BeatBuddy 2 lets you connect any standard expression pedal to shape your sound in real time. With hands free control of tempo, volume and velocity, you can ease into a groove or build toward an explosive fill—just like a real drummer. It’s a new level of control that makes your beats feel more human, more dynamic, and more alive.

See More, Do More

BeatBuddy 2 features a larger, higher resolution screen and an improved interface that makes it easier to find songs, adjust settings, and stay locked in during a set. Whether you’re switching parts mid-song or tweaking tempo on the fly, everything's sleeker, more intuitive, and built to keep up with you.

“I use the BeatBuddy when creating all my new music.”

-Mike Inez, Bassist, Alice in Chains
