Roland

Offering a level of realistic precision and control uncommon in electronic drums, the PD-14DSX from Roland is a 14" digital snare drum with multiple sensors for highly detailed positional sensing and over 16,000 velocity variations across the head. With a true-to-life strainer that lets you turn your snares off and adjust tension, the PD-14DSX is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.The PD-14DSX is designed for use with the V71 drum sound module or the TD-50X (with limited functionality). This snare is built for professionals seeking precision. It sports a head sensor, three positional sensors, a rim sensor, and three cross-stick sensors, which detect your hand automatically and switch the drum technique mode seamlessly. This means you can engage in deep or shallow rim shots, get different tones when hitting the head in different positions, and engage in classic techniques like cross-stick rim playing and brush sweeps. The triple-ply mesh head features a floating mid-layer structure, which provides a highly realistic response, and the head can be tuned via the eight tension lugs for optimal bounce. The triple-flanged hoops provide stability, and the rim is at the same height as standard acoustic snare drums. The PD-14DSX includes a connection cable and a drum key.Realistic Look and Control A newly designed pad structure provides a natural look and feel, with a rubber hoop set inside of the triple-flange hoop and rim height like a standard acoustic snare. The PD-14DSX is fitted with a throw-off mechanism to turn the virtual snares on or off with the quick flip of a lever, while the strainer knob enables you to dial in snare tension with a twist. Additionally, the knob includes a button to control assignable functions in the module and an LED indicator to tell you when the snares are on or off.Compatibility The PD-14DSX is specifically designed to be used with the flagship V71 drum sound module. When paired with the V71, you will get the full amount of expression and precision out of the snare drum that only it can offer particularly in regard to positional sensing.The PD-14DSX can also be used with the TD-50X module. Use with alternative sound modules may result in the loss of some functionality, such as positional sensing and some strainer controls.
