Roland - KD-200-MS Pad Grosse Caisse 20" Midnight Sparkle

The KD-200-MS immediately transports you to the sensations of a real acoustic bass drum, while remaining within the world of electronic kit. Its 20-inch wooden body, with its generous depth, has the same dimensions and presence as a traditional model. This full-size format really changes the way it feels underfoot: each strike produces a movement of air and a natural response, very close to that of an acoustic instrument. The deep, elegant Midnight Sparkle finish, with its meticulous chrome fittings, reinforces the impression of a top-of-the-range instrument, both visually and tactilely.

Its system is based on a sensor integrated directly into the head, mounted in the same way as on a conventional bass drum. When the bat strikes, the air circulates inside the drum and creates a natural resistance under the pedal, with a realistic, progressive rebound. This mechanical response is then accurately captured by Roland's triggering technology, faithfully reproducing every nuance of play, from the lightest hits to powerful attacks. Compatible with single or double pedals, it adapts easily to different playing techniques and styles.

For comfort and stability, the KD-200-MS features sturdy telescopic legs that keep the bass drum perfectly in place and make it easy to adjust. Despite its generous dimensions, it fits naturally into a V-Drums configuration, bringing a more organic feel to electronic playing. The result is very similar to the behaviour of an acoustic drum kit, with a more realistic feel to every pedal stroke.
