Roland PDX-100 10-inch V-Pad
Bring the authentic feel of acoustic drumming to your electronic kit. The Roland PDX-100 is a lightweight, 10-inch mesh-head V-Pad designed to provide natural, responsive triggering for drummers who demand accuracy and feel. Whether you are expanding your current V-Drums setup, upgrading your snare drum, or adding professional-grade tom triggers to your practice rig in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, the PDX-100 delivers the professional performance you need.
Dual-Triggering Technology for Enhanced Expression
Experience precise, nuanced triggering across the entire surface of the pad. The PDX-100 features advanced dual-trigger technology that independently detects hits on both the head and the rim. This allows for realistic rimshots, cross-stick techniques, and complex percussive patterns that standard single-trigger pads simply cannot replicate. The mesh head is tension-adjustable, allowing you to customize the rebound and stick-response to match your personal playing style.
Compact, Lightweight, and Versatile Mounting
Despite its professional-grade surface area, the PDX-100 is designed with a streamlined, space-saving footprint. It is easily mountable to standard electronic drum rack clamps or acoustic snare stands, making it an ideal choice for hybrid kits or space-constrained studios. Its lightweight yet durable construction ensures it remains rock-steady during aggressive playing while being portable enough for frequent gigging and transport.

Common Customer Questions Answered
Can I use the PDX-100 as a snare pad on any V-Drums kit?
Yes. The PDX-100 is a fantastic upgrade for many entry-level or mid-range kits that come with smaller or single-zone pads. Because it is a dual-zone pad, you will gain the ability to perform rimshots and cross-sticks, provided your current sound module supports dual-triggering for that input.
Is the mesh head replaceable?
Yes, absolutely. One of the main advantages of Roland mesh V-Pads is their modularity. If you wear out the mesh head after years of intensive practice, you can simply remove the tension hoop and replace the mesh surface, ensuring your pad remains in professional condition for years to come.
Will this work with third-party electronic drum modules?
The PDX-100 is designed specifically for the Roland V-Drums ecosystem. While it may trigger with some third-party hardware, optimal sensitivity, cross-talk rejection, and dual-zone functionality are guaranteed only when paired with a compatible Roland sound module.
