Very efficient tool for noise reduction when playing kick pads/pedals, hi-hat control pedals and hi-hat stands.Up to 75 per cent reduction in the volume of kick noise and vibrations (based on extensive tests by Roland).Play V-Drums without disturbing your family and neighbours.Ideal for drummers living in flats or apartment blocks as well as for use in music classrooms and recording studios.The NE-10 can be used with: KT-10 Kick Trigger Pedal, KD-9 Kick Pad, KD-7 Kick Trigger and FD-8 Hi-Hat Control Pedal.When using the NE-10 for a Roland KD-140/KD-120 V-Kick or a hi-hat stand with a Roland VH-13/VH-11 V-Hi-Hat, place an NE-1 under each foot of the stands to maximise the damping of kick noise and vibrations.The Roland V-Drums are the only professional alternative for drummers who live in apartment blocks, as acoustic drums are often too loud. With the Noise Eater series, you can further optimise this situation and ensure even less background noise. Roland's innovative Noise Eater series is a useful tool for dampening footfall noise and vibrations that occur when a foot pedal is pressed. This allows you to further reduce the playing noise of the already quiet Roland V-Drums equipped with mesh head pads and protect rooms on lower floors from footfall noise and vibrations transmitted through the floor.Roland has carried out extensive tests and determined that the additional use of the Noise Eater series reduces the volume of directly transmitted impact noise and vibrations by approximately 75 per cent. This feature makes it possible to play the V-drums at home even at unusual times (e.g. at night) without disturbing people in neighbouring rooms or other flats.
The MDH-STD is a robust V-pad holder that is compatible with all Roland MDS series drum stands to quickly and easily equip your kit with additional trigger pads. It features an alignable pad boom with markings for a consistent setup every time.
The FANTOM-0 brings your creative world together by offering the sonic performance and fluid workflow of the FANTOM series in a sleek instrument that takes you wherever your inspiration takes you. Equipped with a 61-, 76- or 88-note keyboard, the FANTOM-0 series offers everything you need to create and perform at the highest level. Play and produce with thousands of Roland's best sounds and unleash your musical vision with the same colour touchscreen, convenient controls and deep computer integration.
Most of the time, you are the only one who really enjoys playing the drums. An electronic drum kit is known to make less noise, especially as you usually use headphones. Nevertheless, the neighbours still complain: the muffled thuds when playing the bass drum pedal and the bang when the mallet hits the pad drive even well-meaning fellow citizens mad from time to time. That's why Roland is introducing the KT-9, an ultra-quiet pedal that contains no mallet and is equipped with a patented mechanism. This leads to a drastic reduction in noise, although the playing feel hardly changes at all. With a KT-9, you can finally let off steam at any time of day or night.
