Roland SPD::ONE KICK Digital Percussion Pad Kick Stomp Box

Add Genuine Beats to Your Performance: Roland SPD::ONE KICK Percussion Pad

Incorporate the power of a real bass drum or stomp box into your live setup with the Roland SPD::ONE KICK. Designed specifically for musicians who want a hassle-free way to ground their rhythm, this highly portable digital percussion pad delivers premium, realistic kick and percussion tones instantly. Whether you are a solo acoustic guitarist needing a steady stomp beat, a percussionist looking to expand your acoustic kit, or a DJ adding electronic pulses on the fly, this rugged unit provides the perfect rhythmic foundation with minimal footprint.

Versatile Playing Styles: Play with Sticks, Hands, or Feet

Every artist has a unique performance style, and your gear should adapt to you. The Roland SPD::ONE KICK is uniquely engineered to handle all types of play. Its highly responsive, heavy-duty surface can be struck with traditional drumsticks, tapped comfortably by hand, or confidently stomped with your foot on the floor. Dialing in the perfect feel takes only seconds—built-in threshold and sensitivity side controls allow you to tailor the pad's response to your exact playing dynamics, ensuring flawless triggering every time.

22 Onboard Acoustic and Electronic Sounds

Packed with 22 professional-grade internal sounds, this digital pad is optimized for lower-register rhythmic accompaniment. It features pristine acoustic kick drums, classic electronic bass drums, distinct stomp box textures, crisp shakers, and resonant cowbells. With instant variation controls, you can effortlessly switch between organic acoustic tones for an intimate café gig or punchy electronic beats for a club performance, making it the ultimate rhythm partner across genres.

Import Custom User Samples via Drag-and-Drop

While the internal library is packed with versatile sounds, the SPD::ONE KICK lets you make your performance entirely your own. By connecting the pad to your PC or Mac via USB, you can easily drag and drop original WAV audio files up to five seconds long into one of the 12 internal sound banks. Once uploaded, your custom samples can be modified seamlessly using the unit’s intuitive real-time pitch tuning and built-in studio effects.

Seamless Integration and Rugged, Portable Build

The compact footprint of the SPD::ONE KICK ensures it fits perfectly into any existing rig without requiring a complete stage teardown. Using the included mounting adapter, you can secure it tightly to standard hi-hat stands, cymbal stands, tom arms, or even microphone stands. Alternatively, place it straight onto the floor or a tabletop for standalone operation. Built with a road-ready metal body, this durable pad runs on 4 x AA batteries or an optional AC adapter, keeping your setup clean, cable-free, and highly mobile.

Common Uses and Applications

• Acoustic Guitarists & Vocalists: Place the unit flat on the floor to use as a reliable foot-stomp box, creating an instant four-on-the-floor driving beat for solo live sets.
• Drummers & Percussionists: Clamp the pad to your existing kit to easily blend electronic elements or distinct acoustic textures into your groove.
• Studio Production & DAW Control: Utilize the built-in USB-MIDI interface to convert the pad into a compact digital controller for triggering virtual instruments within your recording software.
