Singular Sound BeatBuddy 2 Drum Machine Pedal

Ever wonder what it would feel like to cue a drummer with the tap of your foot? The Singular Sound BeatBuddy 2 drum machine pedal delivers hands-on rhythmic control in a compact, performance-ready format built for live playing, practice and songwriting. Designed to behave like a responsive bandmate rather than a static loop device, BeatBuddy 2 lets you trigger fills, transitions, part changes, breaks and time shifts in real time while staying locked to your groove. With ultra-realistic drum sounds, deep song structure control and extensive expansion potential, it gives guitarists, bassists and solo performers a dependable rhythmic foundation that stays musical, predictable and easy to command underfoot.

Expanded Drum Kits, Songs and Genre Coverage

At its core, BeatBuddy 2 ships with 13 ultra-realistic drum kits and over 230 preloaded songs spanning 23 musical genres, giving players immediate access to usable rhythms for rock, metal, jazz, blues, pop, funk and more. The onboard library can be expanded dramatically, supporting up to 320 additional drum kits and as many as 3.2 million songs through downloads or user-created content. Upgraded HD drum sets—four times larger than earlier versions—deliver greater dynamic depth, more natural velocity response and improved realism, helping programmed parts sit more convincingly alongside live instruments in both practice and performance settings.

Real-Time Performance Control That Feels Natural

BeatBuddy 2 is built around real-time responsiveness, allowing musicians to trigger fills, transitions, intros, outros, accents, drum breaks and double- or half-time shifts exactly when they’re needed. Expression pedal support adds continuous control over tempo, volume and velocity, while SuperSwitch compatibility unlocks expanded command options for more complex live setups. An updated display improves visibility and navigation during songs, helping players stay oriented when timing and structure matter most. Whether you’re leading a live arrangement or tightening a rehearsal groove, the pedal responds instantly without pulling focus away from playing.

Flexible Workflow for Writing, Practice and Live Use

Beyond live performance, BeatBuddy 2 excels as a songwriting and practice tool thanks to features like Autopilot mode, which handles structured sections automatically while still allowing manual overrides. This makes it easy to sketch arrangements, rehearse transitions or maintain consistent timing during solo practice. Thoughtfully engineered for reliability and ease of use, BeatBuddy 2 integrates naturally into pedalboards and recording setups alike, offering musicians a powerful drum solution that supports creativity without overcomplication. It’s a modern rhythm partner designed to grow with your music, from simple grooves to fully arranged performances.
