Roland VAD PDA-120L - V-Drums Tom Pad with high quality trigger system

Roland VAD tom pads work with a side trigger system. This avoids a "hot spot" in the middle of the hitting surface. The triggers are located very far from the edge. Since this area is usually played less, the chance for a hot-spot hit is lower than for systems with center triggers. A "hot spot" is the small area directly above a trigger that, when hit hard, gives an overdriven signal to the drum module. In the module this leads to distortions in the dynamic bandwidth and in the headphones you will get an unpleasantly loud signal. With the side triggers, the hot-spot hit rate is much smaller.

Natural playing dynamics

The side trigger system gives you consistent sensitivity across the entire playing area. This results in an extremely natural reproduction of your playing dynamics. No matter what you play on the 2-layer Mesh Head or on the Rim of the Dual Zone Pad - it will be faithfully passed on to your module.

Roland VAD - Noble optics in a handy dimension

The shells of the VAD series are high quality foiled. First-class chrome-plated tension hoops and noble fittings round off the high-quality look. The series includes an 18" x 7" kick drum, tom pads in 10" and 12" diameters with a T-style tom mount, and a 12" snare/tom pad without a mount to rest on a snare stand.

High compatibility with various drum modules

The VAD series pads are compatible with all Roland modules and the modules of many other manufacturers.
