Roland TD-9KX Drums User Manual


 
The RMP-series pads are outfitted with a great-feeling, tunable mesh
drumhead for realistic and quiet performance. Just like on an acoustic
drum, the RMP’s head can be adjusted for tension. The result is a true
acoustic feel, but without the noise. By plugging in headphones, drummers
can enjoy silent, concentrated practice without disturbing others.
Great Sounds Onboard!
Breaking the boundaries of pre-existing practice pads, the RMP-5 includes 54 of
Roland’s finest snare, kick, hi-hat, cymbal, and percussion sounds for you to play. It
also provides an assortment of metronome sounds, including a standard click,
human-voice count, rhythmic patterns, and more.
Connect Kick & Cymbal Pads
The RMP-5 provides a dual-trigger input that can be used to
connect a Roland kick trigger and a cymbal pad, such as the
KD-8, CY-8, etc (optional). All together, these three
components form the nucleus of a small electronic drum kit.
Now you can train not only your hands, but your feet as well.
With an optional kick and a
cymbal pad connected to the
RMP-5, you can build your
own custom drum kit by
assigning which internal sound
you’d like to play on each pad.
Dr. Beat DB-60
More Than Just a Metronome
The DB-60 is deluxe metronome that
can lay down the click in style.
Program your own beats or choose
from a variety of patterns. Tap in your
tempo, and clock your practice with
the Stop Watch and Timer features.
Dr. Beat DB-30
The Take-Along Dr. Beat
It’s portable, reliable, and fun to use — the DB-30
helps musicians take their music to higher levels by
offering a feature set that defies its diminutive size,
including a variety of play-along patterns and
groove types.

Turn Your Snare Drum Into a Practice Pad
The PCK-1 can convert an acoustic snare drum into a
silent practice pad. It comes with a 14-inch mesh drum
head that offers the same natural response as Roland’s
famous V-Pads, plus a rubber rim silencer for ultra-quiet
playing. An RT-5S Snare Trigger is also included, allowing
access to the DB-90’s onboard rhythm training exercises.

tempo meter that bounces from side to side. Large
buttons and a clearly labeled front panel simplify
operation. Each RMP has a built-in speaker for the
metronome sounds, and a Mix In jack for playing
along with external audio. Use the RMP on your lap,
a tabletop, or best of all, with Roland’s convenient
PDS-2 stand (optional).
Fun, Friendly Features
In sync with the metronome, this exercise encourages you to
strike with accuracy. The display informs how accurate your shot
was in seven levels.
The onscreen metronome needle indicates how strong you play.
Improve balance and accent skills for both hands.
STROKE BALANCE
Designed to develop your internal tempo, this exercise alternates
the volume level between normal and barely audible, challenging
you to maintain the correct tempo throughout.
QUIET COUNT
An endurance exercise that gradually increases and then
decreases the click speed. The rate at which the tempo goes up
and down is adjustable, and you can set the maximum tempo at
which it starts decreasing.
AUTO UP/DOWN
Your Own Personal Rhythm Coach Included
The RMP-series is equipped with Roland’s famous Rhythm Coach exercises, which challenge and score your playing in fun and friendly ways. Put
your skills to the test with Time Check, Auto Up/Down, and Stroke Balance, for example, to help develop consistent stick technique. Adjust the
