The Roland MDS-Stage 2 Drum Stand is a premium electronic drum rack engineered to deliver exceptional stability, professional aesthetics, and flexible setup options for advanced V-Drums configurations. Designed for Roland's flagship TD-50KV2 and other V-Drums kits, this high-performance rack provides the strength and reliability required for studio recording, live performances, rehearsal spaces, music education environments, and professional touring applications.
Built with a rugged chrome-finished frame, the MDS-Stage 2 complements the premium appearance of modern electronic drum kits while providing a rock-solid foundation for drum pads, cymbal pads, and accessories. High-grip rubber feet help maintain stability during energetic performances, while durable all-metal ball-joint clamps allow precise positioning and secure mounting of components throughout extended use.
Unlike conventional drum racks, the MDS-Stage 2 features concealed internal cable routing that allows trigger cables to run through the stand itself. This innovative design creates a cleaner appearance, reduces cable clutter, simplifies installation, and helps maintain a professional stage or studio setup. Combined with highly adjustable tom holders and cymbal arms, the rack allows drummers to create a comfortable and ergonomic playing environment tailored to their individual preferences.
The spacious rack design also accommodates larger kick drum configurations, including the Roland KD-220 and KD-222 Bass Drums, as well as 22-inch acoustic bass drums equipped with the Roland KD-A22 Kick Drum Converter. This flexibility makes the MDS-Stage 2 an ideal solution for drummers seeking a more authentic acoustic-style electronic drum setup without sacrificing the advantages of modern V-Drums technology.
