The EVOLOOP is the first Footdrum with a built-in looper designed specifically for One-man bands
Create your backing foundation instantly while playing your instrument together with this incredible footdrum.
EVOLOOP changes the way you perform as a one-man band and opens up endless possibilities to explore.
This is not just another pedal or accessory — it’s a complete shift in how live looping and solo performance can work. Despite its innovative concept, EVOLOOP is priced like a mid-range guitar, yet it has the power to transform the sound of solo performers and small duos into something that feels like a full band.
Each unit is completely handmade in Italy in very small quantities, ensuring attention to detail, quality, and a truly artisanal build.
EVOLOOP combines a powerful footdrum with an advanced built-in looper, designed to be used naturally while playing another instrument such as guitar, harmonica, or more. All controls are ergonomically positioned so you can operate the looper comfortably while continuing to play the footdrum in real time.
The real innovation is speed and workflow.
Instead of building loops layer by layer through long stacking and multiple overdubs, EVOLOOP lets you create both rhythmic and harmonic foundations in a single take.
Just play a guitar groove while using the footdrum, hit record, and instantly capture both elements together. In seconds, you have a complete live backing groove ready to build on.
EVOLOOP is designed for musicians who want a faster, more organic, and more musical way to create live loops.
Less setup. Less waiting. More music.
THE FOOTDRUM
The Footdrum is based on our best-selling model, the MINI EVO, featuring the built-in GROOVE ASSIST, which helps complete your drumming performance with a continuous semi-automatic hi-hat, ride, or any other instrument played by the built-in sequencer and triggered by a pad of your choice.
Please refer to the descriptions and videos of the FLOORDRUM MINI EVO for more detailed information.
THE LOOPER
This looper is designed to be used differently from a conventional looper, which is typically used to build complex and layered loop stacks.
Instead, it is intended to record your entire footdrumming and instrument performance in a single take. This allows you to instantly free up your hands whenever you need to play a solo or add embellishments. Simply press the loop footswitch, conveniently positioned exactly where your right foot strikes the kick drum, allowing you to hit both the pad and the footswitch simultaneously.
To achieve this, we use specially designed footswitches that are highly sensitive and do not need to be pressed fully down. For even greater comfort, they are slightly angled for improved ergonomics.
The looper features two tracks, allowing you to loop different sections of a song.
The central button is used to stop the recording without immediately playing it back. If pressed while one of the loops is playing, it cancels the current loop with a short fade-out. Pressing and holding this button will erase all recordings.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
On the sides of the drum, you will find the USB connectors used to power both the drum and the looper.
These power inputs are separated to minimize interference between the two circuits. The connectors are recessed for added protection and are designed to work with angled USB connectors for greater security. We use standard USB Type-B connectors, which are more robust than most alternatives.
Any standard USB power source—such as a phone charger or a power bank—is suitable for powering the unit.
On the right side, you will find the instrument input, which routes the signal through the looper. The processed signal is then available on the LOOP OUT connector.
On the left side, there is a second output carrying the Footdrum signal routed through the looper.
This allows both signals, the guitar (or instrument) and the Footdrum, to remain fully separated, so they can be sent to different mixer channels and processed independently using different EQ or effect settings.
If you have limited mixer channels, both signals can be combined into a single mono output using the MONO switch located on the top panel.
The front panel also provides a direct Footdrum output that bypasses the built-in looper, useful if you do not need the looper or wish to route the signal for another purpose.
