R
esponsive Kick Triggering
for Any Percussion Setup
This velocity-sensitive kick drum trigger
can be used with a standard kick drum
pedal. It features a mix input for chaining
two KD-7’s together for a double-bass
setup, and comes with a beater and
connection cable (kick drum pedal not
included). The KD-7 is the ideal kick
trigger for use with the HPD-15/HPD-10.
How it works
When an acoustic drumhead is struck, the surrounding air vibrates and a
sound is produced. The harder it is struck, the more the head moves and
the larger the sound. With Roland’s patented mesh head (multi-layered
for superior feel and strength), the air is released from the gaps in the
mesh fabric, so the surrounding air does not vibrate. This is what makes
a mesh head so quiet.

Our Most Sensitive V-Pads Ever!
Rimshot-Ready Mesh Pads
How do you improve upon the world’s most popular electronic percussion
pads? Start by designing a sensor mechanism for more accurate triggering,
and then give ’em a cool black or white finish! The 12-inch
PD-125BK/PD-125WT and 10-inch PD-105BK/PD-105WT mesh V-Pads
The 8" dual-zone V-Pads feature Roland’s latest dual-triggering technology,
resulting in more consistent and accurate sensing between the head and
rim. Built tank-tough and ready to take a pounding, these pads are available
in black or white finishes with chrome brackets. When used as tom-toms for
the TD-20 and TD-12 sound modules, the pads let you play rimshots, and
the sound will change depending on the strength of your stroke.

Fast-Action Pad

super-accurate triggering and a

hi-hat when used with the Roland
TD-series percussion modules*.

What is a mesh head?
Mesh drum pads have the distinct advantage of being quiet and realistic in
feel. The secret is the material, woven from special fabric. This material is
very durable, and provides a remarkably
natural touch, just like an acoustic drum head.
Now you can practice in silence without ever
having to worry about sore wrists.
