Roland KT-10 Kick Trigger Pedal Overview
Whether you’re practicing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, the Roland KT-10 Kick Trigger Pedal delivers professional-grade performance and a rock-solid feel.
Introducing the Roland KT-10, a kick trigger pedal that delivers authentic feel and playability with a low-noise design. Designed for use with V-Drums sound modules and other electronic percussion instruments, the KT-10 combines innovative technology, compact size, and rock-solid performance to elevate your drumming experience.
Innovative Reverse-Action Trigger Mechanism
The KT-10 features a unique reverse-action trigger mechanism that sets it apart from standard kick trigger pads and pedals. This innovative design provides a fast and fluid response whilst significantly reducing operating noise.
Compared to a traditional kick pad played with a standard pedal and beater, the KT-10 produces approximately 75 per cent less noise in the playing room (based on Roland test data). Experience the freedom to practice and play quietly without compromising on playability.
Perfect for Home Practice and Studio Use
If you’re looking to practice at home or in a studio setting without disturbing others, the KT-10 is the ideal solution. While V-Drums mesh-head pads offer near-silent operation, using a kick trigger pad with a standard pedal and beater can generate unwanted noise.
The KT-10 ensures a quiet playing experience while still delivering authentic feel and a rock-solid performance. Plug in your headphones, enjoy the immersive sound of your V-Drums, and play to your heart’s content without causing a disturbance.
Versatile Compatibility and Expansion
The KT-10 is compatible with any V-Drums sound module equipped with 1/4-inch trigger inputs, allowing for seamless integration into your electronic drum setup. It’s not limited to V-Drums, though. The compact size and integrated design make the KT-10 perfect for use alongside acoustic drum pedals in a hybrid drum kit setup.
Pair it with Roland’s TM-2 Trigger Module to unlock a world of built-in sounds and inputs for various Roland pads, pedals, and triggers.
Customizable and Expandable
The KT-10 offers adjustable settings to suit your personal playing style. Customize the pedal response by removing or shifting weights in the beater mechanism, and easily modify the pedal’s tension by moving the spring to different hook positions.
Additionally, the convenient Mix In trigger jack allows you to create a double-pedal setup with a second KT-10, expanding your drumming capabilities even further.
