Roland has accomplished more in the world of electronic percussion than just about anyone else. That includes electronic hand percussion, as evidenced by their HandSonic HPD-15. At this year's NAMM Roland announced the second member of its HandSonic family: the HandSonic 10 (HPD-10). More affordable and streamlined than its big brother, it offers the same great pad response that made the original HandSonic so popular, but with a specialized set of features and a fresh batch of sounds, rhythms, and effects.

Roland HandSonic 10 Features:

• All-new sounds and patterns (approx. 400)
• 10 individual pressure-sensitive pads
• Large icon-driven LCD display
• D Beam controller for sound/pitch/effects control
• New metronome function with backing rhythm patterns
• 20 multi-effects
• Rhythm Coach function
