## Description

Product Description Featuring innovative new technology from Roland, the KT-10 provides authentic feel and playability in a low-noise kick trigger pedal for V-Drums sound modules and other electronic percussion instruments. The all-in-one design offers fast, fluid response and a unique reverse-action trigger mechanism that makes the pedal not only compact in size, but also far quieter in operation than a kick pad played with a standard pedal and beater. With its small footprint, the KT-10 is ideal for use alongside an acoustic kick pedal in a hybrid drum set, and it also works great for expanding the capabilities of an SPD-series percussion pad or the HandSonic HPD-20. Of course, the KT-10’s pro feel, noise-reducing features, and portable convenience make it perfect for use with any V-Drums kit as well.

Review: Excellent trigger pedal, works with Yamaha DTX6K3-X electronic drum set - I have tried both traditional beater trigger pedals as well as one of Yamaha's beaterless trigger pedals. The beater triggers worked with the K90 pad however they did not replicate the bass drum sounds as accurately when compared to using the electronic trigger pedals. Maybe it is in the conversion of the mechanical trigger to an electronic sound, not sure. The Yamaha trigger pedal did not provide as much tactile feedback and rebound as it uses a spring mechanism. The Roland trigger pedal was very close to the feel of a beater trigger pedal and more accurately reproduced the bass drum sound. In my opinion, paying the significantly higher cost for the Roland was well it. I am extremely satisfied with the Roland trigger pedal. I am not sure why it is so difficult to find out what trigger pedals are compatible with the various electronic drum sets that are available. It would be nice if the manufacturers provide more in-depth info on compatibility with electronic drum sets other than their own. This trigger pedal is compatible with the Yamaha DTX6K3-X electronic drum set. I ended up using the audio cable from a Yamaha trigger pedal as I experienced a bit of cymbal sound on top of the bass drum sound when using the cable that came with the Roland trigger pedal. No clue as to why the different cable influenced the sound.
Review: Surprisingly heavy-duty, solid pedal. About as loud as two people having a conversation - I was surprised when I unboxed the pedal. The pedal is about twice as heavy as I expected. Like many, I initially felt it was overpriced, but I now understand why. The majority of the pedal is made out of heavy, solid metal. This thing feels twice as durable as my real kick pedals, which have lasted +15 years without issue. The main reason I got this pedal, like most people, is for the quiet playing. It is indeed quiet. I thankfully have had no issue with squeaking as I saw one reviewer complained. I would feel comfortable using this pedal in an upper story apartment complex without worrying about neighbors' complaints (I've been there and experienced that). I unscientifically measured the sound level with a dB meter on my phone as I played just the pedal alone. I held my phone's microphone by my head to simulate what the drummer hears. The pedal registered between 53-68 dBA, which would make it quieter than a shower or dishwasher, and about as loud as two people having a conversation in a living room - perfectly reasonable for an apartment. When I received the pedal, I immediately adjusted the spring and beater to their maximum "heavy" setting, and I'm quite pleased with the feel (those max adjustments feel the closest to a real pedal to me). It has a similar feel to real pedals, the only subjective difference to me being the actual impact. The impact feels about 25% more responsive than a real beater. I think that makes sense, since a beater hitting a real drum head experiences a bit of 'give' as the drum head bows inward toward the drum's interior against the force of the beater. Obviously this doesn't happen with this pedal. But the other aspects of the action feel the same as a real pedal. I'm very pleased, and when budget allows, I'll be getting a second pedal to daisy-chain and complete my setup with double-pedal functionality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this kt-10 work with my alesis strike multipad?**
A: I have used it with the Alesis Sample Pad with absolutely no issues.  I am sure it would work with the Strike Pad as well

**Q: Will the kt-9 work as the kick pedal for the Yamaha DD-75 portable digital drum set?**
A: Nope! I had my doubts but bought it anyway, and it does NOT work with the DD-75.

**Q: Why are there two trs-connectors?**
A: One connection is the output to the percussion module you are using. The other is a mix-in -- that would be added to the kick drum signal that is then sent through the output.  I only use the output connection.  The motion and weighting, BTW, is really good. I use it in an apartment, and I get no complaints from the neighbors.

**Q: can i use a KD-10 kick pad plugged into this for double bass?**
A: You should, it's got a quarter inch jack to plug another pedal into.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The quietest bass drum pedal
*by D***R on October 3, 2023*

I own a Roland SPD-SX Pro that I use for practicing in my apartment. I am able to play even late at night with headphones or with my amplifier set to low volume. The KT-9 is excellent for drummers who live in apartments with neighbors who live above, below, and next door. The only adjustment you have to live with is that you lose the “slap back” feeling from your foot triggering the bass drum. If you have to have that “slap back” feel of hitting the bass drum, then I would recommend that you buy the Roland KT-10, which would give you that. The sacrifice is that the KT-10 will be noisy if you’re playing late at night and the neighbors might hear you and complain.
