Roland KD-140 V-Kick Trigger Pad
Step up to the flagship feel of acoustic bass drum performance. The Roland KD-140 is a professional-grade V-Kick trigger pad designed to provide the most authentic, solid response in the V-Drums lineup. Featuring a large 14-inch mesh head and a rugged, tour-ready steel frame, this kick pad offers the natural rebound, weight, and stability that professional drummers demand. Whether you are tracking in a studio or performing on festival stages across the UAE, the KD-140 delivers the precision and physical presence of a true acoustic bass drum.
Natural Acoustic Response and Stable Feel
The KD-140 bridges the gap between digital convenience and acoustic mechanics. Its 14-inch diameter provides a massive striking surface that easily accommodates double-pedal setups, allowing for tight, rapid-fire triplets and intricate double-bass patterns without the "cramped" feel of smaller pads. The tunable mesh head accurately replicates the feel of a real drum skin, offering a satisfying, cushioned resistance that minimizes physical fatigue during high-tempo playing.
Engineered for Maximum Stability
Aggressive kick drum work requires a foundation that refuses to move. The KD-140 is constructed with a heavy-duty, reinforced frame that provides exceptional stability during intense performances. Even when playing with high-velocity double pedals, the KD-140 remains anchored, ensuring your trigger signal remains consistent and your kit setup stays perfectly in place. It is the ultimate choice for the drummer who plays hard and needs hardware that performs reliably under pressure.

Common Customer Questions Answered
Will my double-pedal fit on this kick pad?
Yes, the KD-140’s 14-inch surface is specifically sized to provide ample room for all standard double-pedal configurations. You can position your beaters with the same spacing you would use on an acoustic 22-inch bass drum, ensuring a comfortable playing position and even trigger sensitivity across both pedals.
Is this kick pad compatible with my current V-Drums module?
The KD-140 uses standard Roland triggering technology and is compatible with virtually every V-Drums sound module ever produced, from classic TD-series modules to the latest flagship models. Simply plug it into the "KICK" input on your module, and it will be ready to perform immediately.
Can I adjust the tension of the mesh head?
Absolutely. The KD-140 utilizes a standard tension-rod system similar to an acoustic drum. You can use a standard drum key to tighten or loosen the mesh head, allowing you to fine-tune the rebound and feel to your exact preference, whether you like a firm, snappy response or a softer, more dampened feel.
