Drum Pedal

This little pedal has a bunch of music genres and a variety of beats to suit each genre. You can adjust the tempo of each beat, the volume and tone. I use it like a hotted up metronome. It’s difficult to get a drum beat for a specific song, but good for general playing music. The drum sounds are pretty good and do what you’re looking for in a pedal. Not bad...
