Roland KD-180L-BK Electronic Drum Pad Instruction Manual

1. Įvadas

The Roland KD-180L-BK is an electronic kick drum pad designed to integrate the authentic feel and aesthetic of acoustic drums with advanced digital drum technology. This V-Drums Acoustic Design component features a full-diameter wood shell, a deluxe shell wrap, and heavy-duty chrome hardware. Its shallow-depth 18-inch wood shell provides a compact form factor without compromising performance. An innovative pad sensor system, built into a drum head mounted like an acoustic drum head, precisely vents air pressure inside the shell when struck, delivering a pedal feel remarkably similar to an acoustic kick drum. Roland's advanced triggering and sensor technology ensure accurate detection of every stroke for precise digital sound reproduction.
