This is the Roland HPD-15 Hand Sonic.
It's a great percussion instrument, not only for percussion players,
but also for drummers, guitar players, piano players, and well, ok, even bass players.
This big 10-inch pad is divided in 15 different pad zones.
You can play it with your hands, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ but also with your fingers.
_ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And all these pads are actually pressure sensitive,
so you can actually, by just pressing on the pad, [G] change the sounds.
_ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [G] Or for instance, another example,
dampen the resonance of a conga hand just by laying your other hand on the pad. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And even then, it remains touch sensitive.
[Ab] _ Now, there's 572 percussion instruments in this HPD-15,
and 54 backing instruments.
So you know what that means, it has a built-in sequencer.
[G] It also has a D-beam controller. _ _
[Eb] _ _ Like on the MC-505, for instance.
So you can actually trigger sounds by cutting the light beams coming into the HPD-15.
[Ab] _ Any movement goes.
_ [G] And with the 80 user patches, you can go to Latin America, Africa, _ [Ab]
India, Asia.
There's also percussion patches from Europe, like orchestral percussion,
drums from the United States, [G] dance sounds from Amsterdam,
special effects sounds from Bratislava, and even pre-programmed sequenced loops.
The HPD-15 is also fully expandable, thanks to this optional KD-7 kick trigger,
_ and FD-7 hi-hat control pedal.
_ Also, we have a stand, the PDS-15.
You can not only trigger sounds from the pads,
but also pre-programmed, or your own, sequences or loops.

The other one you can use to trigger the drum sound. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

as if this music was coming out of an old transistor radio.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Now, let's play some drums.

The HPD-15 HandSonic is also a great DJ tool.
Thanks to the real-time modify knobs and the ribbon controller functions,
you can also filter sweep the sounds. _ _ _
