Review: Wow. Just, wow. - I've had this handrum for a couple of months now so I think I can review it fairly. My thought process in purchasing was to be able to practice and become so efficient with this device that I could play out with it someday. I also bought the kick and high pedals for it, but won't review those here. I will say they synced perfectly when plugged in. As for the handrum, its easy to play, tough to master. I play rhythm guitar so my timing is pretty solid, but I'm not a drummer. I'd read that even drummers that purchase this device still have a learning curve, so I figured I'd give it a shot. This thing is so much fun to play. 100 different preset kits to choose from and each kit can be tailored and preset pads can be swapped with other instruments and sounds. There are also open banks to create your own kits but I haven't got that far yet. The coolest feature I'm anxious to play with is inputting your very own custom .wav files via PC or USB, then assigning those sounds or voices to my pads. Imagine recording Zeppelin guitar riffs or your kid's voices and playing them as drum sounds! You can also change the sensitivity of the pads so you don't have to bang on them to get a sound. You can also hold down a pad with one hand and mute it while tapping on it with the other hand just like a real conga. I love that it has a headphone jack as well. Its an expensive toy, but rock solid and should provide years of enjoyment. Review: Hand Percussion Heaven!! - Live or in the studio, this Percussion instrument is a total “bad-ass”!!

So much fun live, and the sounds are sooo ReAL!! Somewhat pricey, but you get what you pay for!! Jam On!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm Happy! *by P***R on October 24, 2014* Works for me! Has a lot of sounds I won't use, but it has a lot that I will and do! Easy to learn, configurable, and awesome velocity/sensitivity. I can also play some melodic instruments like bells, gongs, santoor, crotales, etc -- all tuneable to whatever notes/scale(s) you want. Pretty much something for everyone with this and has the Roland quality. You can also set your MIDI to be master or slave so it can synch with any of your other devices. Generally better than the Korg Wavedrum, but honestly they have different enough sounds that you could have one of each and get a lot more options. If I had to only choose one, then the HandSonic would be my pick for sure (I bought both and sent the Wavedrum back after trying both out for a week.) ## Frequently Bought Together - Roland HPD-20 Digital Hand Percussion Instrument, 3-Inch - Roland PDS-20 Drum Pad Solid Stand Support Percussion Instruments (PDS-20), chrome - Roland KT-9 Beaterless Kick Trigger Pedal --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2711438-roland-hpd-20-digital-hand-percussion-instrument-multicolor](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2711438-roland-hpd-20-digital-hand-percussion-instrument-multicolor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
