Roland OCTAPAD SPD-20 PRO Percussion Pad - White
Modern style meets legendary percussion power. The Roland OCTAPAD SPD-20 PRO in White is the ultimate multi-pad instrument for performers who want their gear to look as bold as their sound. Retaining the immense versatility and robust performance of the professional black model, this White Edition offers a striking, clean aesthetic that stands out on any stage. Whether you are expanding a hybrid drum kit or building a dedicated percussion workstation for your home studio in the UAE, the SPD-20 PRO delivers professional-grade sensitivity and a massive library of sounds in a sleek, head-turning package.
Precision Triggering and Creative Flexibility
The SPD-20 PRO is designed for dynamic expression. Its eight high-sensitivity, cushioned rubber pads are engineered for ultra-accurate triggering, ensuring that every nuance of your playing—from ghost notes to high-velocity accents—is captured with precision. Beyond its vast internal library of acoustic and electronic percussion, the White Edition allows you to expand your soundscape by importing your own custom samples via USB, providing limitless potential for sound designers and experimental drummers.
