Roland PDX-8 V-Pad

Robust foot pedal with low playing noise:The Roland KT-10 trigger pedal has a compact design with a "reverse trigger" mechanism, in which the mallet hits the striking surface backwards, and offers a natural playing feel with low playing noise. The KT-10 is significantly quieter than the combination of kick pad and standard foot machine with mallet.Due to its small base area, it is ideal as a second kick pedal in an acoustic/electronic drum set, or in combination with a percussion pad from the SPD series, a HandSonic HPD-20 or a V-Drum Set.Kick trigger pedal with low playing noise for the Roland V-Drums:Roland V-Drums are the only professional alternative for drummers who live in apartment blocks, as acoustic drums are often too loud. Only the previously common method of using a conventional foot machine on the kick pad of the V-Drum Set has resulted in correspondingly loud playing noises.The KT-10 provides a remedy here, as the pedal is a single unit in which the beater hits the striking surface backwards. This reduces the volume of the playing noise by approx. 75 % (based on extensive tests by Roland), but does not affect the natural playing feel.Ideal for acoustic/electronic drum sets and Roland e-percussion instruments:Due to its small footprint and flat housing, the KT-10 takes up far less space than the combination of foot machine and kick pad. It is therefore ideal for acoustic/electronic drum sets and percussion kits, e.g. in combination with a TM-2 trigger module, which is integrated into an acoustic/electronic drum set and the sounds of the TM-2 can be played by foot via the KT-10.The KT-10 is also a useful extension for Roland percussion instruments such as the SPD-SX Sampling Pad, the OCTAPAD SPD-30 and the HandSonic HPD-20. The KT-10 is very easy to connect via a single cable.Variable weight settings and expandability:You can flexibly adjust the playing style of the KT-10 by changing the resistance of the pedal by removing or moving the weights, as well as the tension of the pedal by changing the spring tension. You can connect a second KT-10 to the Mix In socket and then play with a "double foot machine".

Most of the time, you are the only one who really enjoys playing the drums. An electronic drum kit is known to make less noise, especially as you usually use headphones. Nevertheless, the neighbours still complain: the muffled thuds when playing the bass drum pedal and the bang when the mallet hits the pad drive even well-meaning fellow citizens mad from time to time. That's why Roland is introducing the KT-9, an ultra-quiet pedal that contains no mallet and is equipped with a patented mechanism. This leads to a drastic reduction in noise, although the playing feel hardly changes at all. With a KT-9, you can finally let off steam at any time of day or night.
