Easy-to-integrate Trigger Pad

The Roland BT-1 is an innovative electronic trigger pad that easily attaches to a V-Pad or acoustic drum. The BT-1 bar trigger pad's compact curved form factor hugs the perimeter of your drum and pokes up just enough to be an easy target, saving space in your setup and giving you the flexibility to position it ergonomically. You can even attach multiple BT-1s to your acoustic drum kit without ruining its appearance. With its compactness and affordability, the Roland BT-1 is a great addition to your kit.

Roland BT-1 Bar Trigger Pad at a Glance:
  • Compact curved shape provides flexible and comfortable positioning and saves space
  • Attach multiple BT-1s to your acoustic drum kit without ruining its appearance
  • Accurate and reliable triggering of percussion sounds
Compact curved shape provides flexible and comfortable positioning and saves space

If you're like most drummers, finding the perfect spot for a conventional trigger pad is a challenge. Your drums are already perfectly positioned - a setup that took years of painstaking tweaking to achieve. Roland has your solution! The BT-1 bar trigger pad will integrate into your kit without disrupting the location of your existing drums.

Attach multiple BT-1s to your acoustic drum kit without ruining its appearance

If you're an acoustic drummer just getting into electronic "enhancement" of your sound, the Roland BT-1 is the ideal trigger. You can start with one, and the BT-1's affordable price makes it easy to add additional BT-1s as your triggering needs grow. And thanks to the BT-1's trim, ergonomic form factor, your kit will still look killer!

Accurate and reliable triggering of percussion sounds

Roland is one of the leaders in e-percussion, and they know their stuff. The BT-1 bar trigger pad is an inspired design, to be sure, but it's also a reliable, professional piece of kit that will stand up to the most rigorous tour schedules, and live to tell the tale. You can count on Roland quality.

Perfect!

I use it for cowbell and xhat. Works perfectly with no problems and feels good when playing.
Music background: various cover bands

Works perfectly!

I like my first one so much that I bought a second one. For the most part, I use one as a cowbell, and one as a tambourine. They're compact, durable, and play very easily.
Music background: Full time drummer/performer/teacher

Awesome Trigger

These are wonderful triggers to pair with Roland and Yamaha drum units! Very versatile, high quality triggers that take a beating. I have tried Alesis and while they do work Alesis prefers a piezzo style trigger which these are not.
Rated 5/5

Love it.

Easy to install. Lots of great sounds. Awesome response when playing. Fun!!
Rated 5/5

Great Little Thing

I'm using this with the TV-17 in the aux trigger input. It works just like it is supposed to and the size is big enough to hit but small enough to stay out of the way when you whirling around the kit.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
