PD-14DSX

Digital 14-Inch Snare Pad with Advanced Sensors and a Traditional Throw-Off Lever

The PD-14DSX offers the most natural playing experience in electronic drumming. When paired with the deep capabilities of the V71, V51, and V31 modules, this advanced snare pad delivers ultra-detailed positional sensing and over 16,000 velocity variations across the entire pad surface. The multi-sensor trigger system and high-speed digital communication translate every nuance, from hard hits to the softest articulations. Hand position is automatically detected for seamless transitions between headshots, rimshots, and cross-stick playing.

A newly designed pad structure provides a natural look and feel, with a triple-flange hoop and rim height like a standard acoustic snare. The PD-14DSX is also fitted with a throw-off mechanism that turns the virtual snares on or off with the quick flip of a lever, while the strainer knob enables you to dial in snare tension with a twist. Additionally, the knob includes a button to control assignable functions in the module.
