V-Drums History
Roland has become the leading electronic-drum maker on the planet. Here's how the magic happened.

How do you improve upon the world’s most popular electronic percussion pads? Start by designing a brand new sensor mechanism for more accurate triggering, and then give ‘em a cool black finish! The 12-inch PD-125 and 10-inch PD-105 mesh V-Pads both feature Roland’s latest dual-triggering technology, resulting in more even and accurate sensing between the head and rim. They are also the first V-Pads with rim shot capabilities on the toms—including the actual “rim click” sound.*
*Rim triggering on toms requires TD-20, TD-12 or TD-9 Percussion Sound Modules.
