Roland PD-140DS Electronic Drum Pads

Description

Roland PD-140DS 14-Inch V-Drum Digital Snare Pad

The Roland PD-140DS V-Pad combines snare tradition with highly advanced triggering and exceptional sensitivity, which is communicated to the TD-50 module via a high-speed digital connection. A brand-new, three-layer mesh head is fitted to a standard 14-Inch shell, providing a natural rebound and feel thats instantly familiar to play. Thanks to Rolands new multi-element sensor system, your strokes across every area of the pad are more closely detected than ever before, and playing dynamics are captured in minute detail. In addition, the traditional cross stick technique is automatically detected as the pad senses your hand position and adjusts accordingly. Producing snare sounds that are natural, detailed, and bursting with character, the PD-140DS delivers all-new levels of performance and playability.

• High-resolution sound triggering with accurate positional detection
• Designed for use with the flagship TD-50 sound module
• Play cross sticks using traditional techniques, with no need to adjust settings inside the module
• The three-ply mesh head provides a natural rebound, playing feel, and response
• Standard acoustic-style 14-inch diameter offers a familiar look, presence, and playability
• The reflective steel shell makes a visual impression on the stage

Roland continues to revolutionize electronic drums, and their newly developed digital trigger pads are no exception. Incorporating the very latest technologies, these innovative pads work directly with the powerful processing in the flagship TD-50 sound module to provide the ultimate in expressive drumming. Never before have electronic drums been so true to life.
