Great performance begins with the patented Mesh Head
The Mesh Head, with its 2-ply mesh material enables both drum feel (head tension) and muting. Development began after taking a hint from the material used in trampolines. The Mesh Head enjoyed high praise throughout the world when first announced. Since then, it has defined the very uniqueness and character of the V-Drum. During development, Roland acquired numerous patents. The numbers printed under the surface of the heads are the U.S. patent numbers.
Immense know-how and advanced sensing technology
The V-Pad is equipped inside with a high-sensitivity sensor that makes contact with the center of the Mesh Head. It is able to detect playing nuances in precise detail and capture the natural sound changes as distance increases from the center. Not even the slightest signal is missed before being transferred to the V-Drum sound generator. Developed at Roland, a radiating sensor frame construction is also used to evenly transfer rim strikes to the sensor in the middle. This allows all playing techniques — even rimshot and cross-stick techniques — to be captured accurately.
