Roland PD-8 V-Drum Stereo Rubber Pad

Very sturdy and reliable

Really great pad. Easily attaches to any stand on your kit and feels very nice to play as part of an electronic or hybrid kit. Also easily integrated into my SPD sampler system. Would highly recommend.

Perfect for the price

Great pad, but must have a Roland module. I tried it with the Millennium module, it doesn't respond so well

Roland PD-8 V-Drum Rubber Pad

The first thing I noticed when setting this up was the superb quality! I know there are loyal Roland fans of all things Roland (guitar pedals, keyboards), but this really made an impression. The feel is just right, with natural stick bounce and no physical noise from the hits - only the electronic triggering. The touch sensitive (hit sensitive) action is every bit as good as hoped for. It feels like a real drum should. The "stereo" is not truly stereo in the usual sense - they could have called it dual channel for skin and rimshots. The rim feels slightly odd being rubber instead of metal, but that's only a minor point. (sticks last longer!). I also tried this with the EH Space Drum pedal, not being sure if this would work with a true analogue device, but it works just fine, and is touch/hit sensitive even with this! (I can play "Cheap Sunglasses" now!). Thoroughly recommended!

Durable drum pad

I've had 8 years of use from my Roland drum pad. I use it through a Alesis drum brain as a kick drum for an acc duo. It's still going strong after being kicked hard at so many gigs. I can't fault it's design or durability except that the jack lead seems to be starting to fall out mid gig recently, I solved this with a bit of sticky tape so rock on the next 8 years.

Roland PD-8 V-Drum Stereo Rubber Pad

I purchased the Roland PD-8 V-Drum Stereo Rubber Pad to extend my Roland SPD-30. I have used it as a hi-hat pad and a crash pad but you can assign it has any kind of drum/pad. The pad is pretty standard and has two trigger zones. There are better pads out there and pads shaped like cymbals but this one worked perfectly for my needs.

I recommend it.
