ROLAND DRUM PAD PD-105

How do you improve the Roland Drum Pad PD-105 upon the World’s Most Popular Electronic Drum Pads? Start by designing a brand new sensor mechanism for more accurate triggering, and then give ´em a cool black finish!

The 10-inch Roland Drum Pad PD-105 Mesh Head V-Pads features Roland’s latest Dual Zone Technology (aka Dual Triggering).

Resulting in more even and accurate sensing between the head and rim.

Roland Drum Pad PD-105, along with PD-125, are also the first V-Pads with Rim Shot capabilities on the Toms including the actual “rim click” sound.*

The PD-105 Drum Pad comes with: Owner’s Manual, Connection Cable and a Drum Key.

*Rim triggering on toms requires Roland TD-20, TD-12 or TD-9 Sound Module.

PLEASE NOTICE: The Sound Modules Mentioned Above (TD-20, TD-12 and TD-9) Are NOT Manufactured Anymore. You Should Consider Buying One Of Roland’s Current Sound Modules instead.

TD-11KV Special Edition Aka Roland TD-11KVSE

The New Roland TD-11KV Special Edition, A Perfect Balance Of Price And Features

Roland TD-11KV Special Edition TD-11KVSE

The TD-11KV Special Edition (TD-11KVSE) is the third and newest member of the top-selling TD-11 V-Drums range.

If you’re serious about your drumming and want an electronic drum kit that can match your technique, read our quick guide on deciding which TD-11 series model is right for your gig.

A Quick Overview Of The TD-11 Range

The Roland TD-11K is the most affordable option and comes with durable rubber pads for the toms, but still includes the V-Drums range’s acclaimed SuperNATURAL technology.

The TD-11KV is the next step, with uprated mesh toms and dedicated crash and ride V-Cymbals. From there, you could jump straight to the TD-25K with its high performance TD-25 sound module and VH-11 hi-hat.

But alternatively, at a price between the TD-11KV and TD-25K, you might decide the new Roland TD-11KVSE offers you the Perfect Balance of Price and Features.

As drummers usually have their favorite brand of drum hardware, V-Drums kits do not come with a kick pedal, hi-hat stand or stool.

Rolande TD-11KVSE

What upgrades do I get with the TD-11KV Special Edition?

The TD-11 Drum sound module and drum pads might be familiar, but pull up a stool at the new TD-11KVSE and you’ll notice a fistful of specific improvements over the existing TD-11KV.

First off, instead of the CY-5 Cymbal Pad and FD-8 Pedal, this latest kit includes the VH-11 hi-hat, whose full-motion response, quiet-operation floating design and dual-trigger accuracy.

It feels just like playing an acoustic hat (it also fits on a standard acoustic hi-hat stand).

What else can I expect from the TD-11KVSE?

Another key departure from existing TD-11 models is the MDS-9SC. It’s a larger stand that offers an additional arm for a third V-Cymbal, and that’s handy, because the TD-11KVSE also ships with the CY-12C: a crash cymbal with a natural swinging motion and dead-on triggering. Both in terms of layout and feel, these uprated features mean the new TD-11KVSE plays more like an acoustic kit than ever – at a price-point that doesn’t rule out working drummers.

Feeling frustrated that your Electronic Drum Set doesn’t exactly give your neighbours a quiet night?

Roland may solve your issue with the newly developed KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal and FD-9 Hi-Hat Controller which deliver super-quiet performance without sacrificing feel or playability.

KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal

KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal

KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal offers beaterless design which combines foot pedal & striker into a single compact unit that’s extremely quiet when played.

A newly developed link mechanism provides the true feel and response of a traditional design.

Now, exactly how quiet is it? In comparison to the Roland KD-9 beater-equipped kick pedal, the KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal generates 85% less audible sound in your room and 63% less to rooms below.

That’s not simply substantial that’s dramatic!

FD-9 Hi-Hat Controller

FD-9 Hi-Hat Controller

The FD-9 Hi-Hat Controller features an all-in-one design like the KT-9, and incorporates a similar link mechanism for a marked reduction in operational noise.

Compared with the Roland FD-8 Hi-Hat Controller, the FD-9 produces 50% less audible sound in your room and 15% less to rooms below.

The pedal’s feet ensure total stability, letting the user work the FD-9 Hi-Hat Controller as hard or soft as they like to pick up every nuance, with support for aggressive moves like hi-hat splashes.

Common Features of KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal & FD-9 Hi-Hat Controller

Both KT-9 and FD-9 are rock solid when used on any “traditional” floors. With integrated feet, adjustable anchors for stability, its rock solid on carpeted surfaces as well.

Each pedal features two heavy-duty springs. And the tension is fully adjustable to optimize the feel for your personal taste. A toe-stopper is included on each pedal as well, providing a familiar touch carried over from acoustic pedals.

The KT-9 Kick Trigger works with a trigger input on any V-Drums module or Roland percussion pad.

The FD-9 Hi-Hat requires a dedicated hi-hat trigger input. Which is found on all V-Drums modules and percussion pads like the OCTAPAD SPD-30 and HandSonic HPD-20.
