Anaheim, CA (January 27, 2015)— Singular Sound is proud to announce that BeatBuddy (mybeatbuddy.com), the world’s first pedal drum machine, has been honored with the prestigious Best in Show award at the 2015 NAMM Show.
BeatBuddy is the perfect accessory for any musician who wants live control of a beat with the hands-free ease of a pedal. It is the only device that enables musicians to effortlessly insert fills, transition from verse to chorus, add accent hits such as cymbal crashes or hand claps, throw in drum breaks and otherwise control the beat to create an unprecedented live drummer effect.
The excitement over BeatBuddy was apparent at Singular Sound’s NAMM booth, where the realism of the drums drew large crowds and a steady stream of music legends stopped by to say they had either bought one or were planning to. Mike Inez, the bassist of legendary rock band Alice in Chains, said “I just bought a BeatBuddy a few weeks ago and it’s been my hotel room companion while touring. The functionality and sound quality is incredible and I just can’t stop playing with it.”
News of the Best in Show award did not surprise NAMM show attendees. Phil Upchurch, the legendary guitarist who has played with the likes of Quincy Jones, Cat Stevens and Michael Jackson said, “now that thing is just amazing. It’s the best thing I’ve seen at NAMM in a long time.”
It also generated great excitement amongst dealers at NAMM as they recognized the BeatBuddy’s enormous market potential. Martin Hergt, an independent music store owner from Victoria, British Columbia said, “the value that the BeatBuddy provides to not just guitarists, but to musicians of all types, even accordion players such as myself, is incredible! Solo artists enhance their performances by having live beats in their shows without having to rely on or pay a percussionist – it pays for itself within a few gigs! Songwriters have a drummer who will never tire of working on new material anytime, anywhere. Music teachers have a fun device that visually shows how time signatures work and engages students like never before. In the past 8 weeks that I have been selling the BeatBuddy in my small shop, I have sold 84 units! I have never seen greater demand for any new product in my 40 years as a music retailer.”
With no other device approaching the sound quality, ease of use, and live on the fly control that BeatBuddy provides, the NAMM Best in Show award confirms that the BeatBuddy is rapidly becoming the choice rhythmic tool for musicians everywhere.
