Roland - PD-85BK

Rimshot-Ready Mesh Pads

The new 8" dual-zone V-Pads feature Roland’s latest dual-triggering technology, resulting in more consistent and accurate sensing between the head and rim. Built tank-tough and ready to take a pounding, these new-generation pads are available in both black and white finishes with chrome bracket. When used as toms with TD-20, TD-12 and TD-9 sound modules, the pads let you play rimshots, and the sound will change depending on the strength of your stroke.
