Our take on the Roland PDX-12 V-Pad

The Roland PDX-12 is a 12-inch dual-mesh electronic drum pad built for snare or tom use. Its two-ply tension-adjustable mesh head gives firm, acoustic-like rebound, and the low hoop height lets you play open rim shots at a natural stick angle. Separate head and rim sensors trigger different sounds, so rim clicks and cross-sticks come through. It suits drummers who want a larger, more acoustic-feeling snare on a Roland kit; against smaller single-ply pads it offers more playing surface and a more realistic rim, though it is a single pad, not a full kit upgrade.

About the Roland PDX-12 V-Pad

The Roland PDX-12 is a 12-inch dual-mesh trigger pad for use as a snare or tom. It has a 2-ply mesh head that gives solid resistance. The head is tension adjustable, so you can set the rebound and stick feel.

The snare hoop sits close to the height of an acoustic snare hoop, so you can play an open rim shot with a natural stick angle. The pad uses high quality materials and a newly designed hoop rubber for a feel like hitting an acoustic drum.

Independent sensors detect head shots and rim shots and assign a different sound to each. The pad mounts to traditional snare/tom stands and compatible tom holders.

Do I need a drum module?
