Reviews

Drummer Boy
I have a TD-4KP (rubber pads) and this pad has made the kit even more fun to play.
Roland Electric Drums
My son loves it! Replaced identical drum head that came with original set. Lasted many years and many hours of play!
Music background: Son is a drummer.
Nice Little Pad
Bought this to use an external trigger with my Roland SPD-S mounted off to the left like a snare drum. It has decent sensitivity (despite what I read in one or two forums). Good triggering space due to the small rim size. One application I've been using it for is buzz rolls where I trigger the snare "drag" articulation in BFD2 (the trick with this, however, it to make your final stroke of the roll on your snare "hit" pad, so that your buzz roll ends with a crisp hit as opposed to the trailing end of a final "drag" sample).
Music background: Home Studio Musician/Engineer

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.
