Roland PD-85 V-pads 8" - Black

Product Description

The Roland PD-85 is an 8-inch drum pad with a special head and a dual-trigger mechanism that distinguishes between hits on the head and hits on the rim. The pad itself produces no sound – it sends signals to the sound module it's connected to, which triggers the actual sounds.

Thanks to the dual trigger, the sound module can tell whether you're playing a regular head hit or a rim shot, and the sound the module triggers changes depending on how hard you strike. This gives a more dynamic playing feel than simpler rubber pads without separate triggers.

PD-85 is available in black and white finishes with a chrome bracket, and it's built tough enough for demanding use. Used as a tom pad with Roland's TD-20, TD-12 and TD-9 sound modules, it triggers both regular tom sounds and rim shot sounds in the module depending on your stroke.

Who It's For

PD-85 is for drummers building an electronic kit around a TD-20, TD-12 or TD-9 sound module who want a tom pad that separates head and rim hits for more dynamic triggering.
