What is the BeatBuddy Drum Machine?
In 2013, David Packouz faced difficulties finding reliable drummers for his music, prompting him to create the BeatBuddy, a drum machine that mimics real drumming across genres. As a guitarist and vocalist, he sought a customizable drum machine in a guitar pedal format for easier live use. Singular Sound has since enhanced the BeatBuddy, making it a vital tool for songwriters, performers, and studio recordings. Explore its impressive features!
The BeatBuddy drum machine offers over 220 drum styles across 24 musical genres, including:
- Metal: Features heavy cymbals, blast beats, and odd time signatures.
- Country: Includes swing beats, shuffles, waltzes, and Nashville Sound.
