Description from Woodbrass :
Practicing drums at home can feel like an uphill battle. You ve got an electronic kit. You re using headphones. But still there s a problem: the sound of the kick pedal mechanism each time you depress it, and the audible thud of the beater as it strikes the kick pad. Roland s new KT-9 Kick Trigger Pedal is the answer. Designed for ultra-quiet home practice, the KT-9 features a beaterless design and a patent-pending link mechanism, resulting in a dramatic reduction in noise when played, without compromising the pedal s feel or the playability. With the KT-9 under your foot, you can go as hard as you like, as late as you want. Low-noise operation for late-night practice (85% less noise in your practice space and 63% less to rooms below, compared to Roland KD-9 beater-equipped kick pedal) Compact design, easy setup and small footprint for home practice Use alongside other noise-reducing Roland products, including NE-10 Noise Eater Isolation Boards and NE-1 Isolation Feet, for quietest-ever performance Play When It Suits You with Ultra-Quiet Link Mechanism and Beaterless Design Electronic drum kits are far quieter than acoustic kits, but there s still an audible sound when you depress a standard kick pedal, and another when the beater hits the kick pad. If quiet practice sessions are a priority, the KT-9 is a must, with its beaterless design and newly developed link mechanism* giving a marked reduction in operational noise (85% less in your practice space and 63% less to rooms below, compared to the Roland KD-9 beater-equipped kick pedal). The KT-9 works even better alongside the low-noise mesh heads featured on Roland V-Drums, plus our NE-10 Noise Eater Isolation Boards and NE-1 Isolation Feet. Compact Beaterless Design Fits into Your Studio and Stage Setup You ve set up your kit to suit you, and with its compact beaterless design, the KT-9 fits right in, taking up a minimal footprint and leaving room for all your favorite percussion gear. Quick to set up and compatible with any V-Drums sound modules featuring ¼-inch trigger inputs, the KT-9 is the ideal addition to your electronic kit, bringing professional kick pedal feel to a low-noise practice scenario. Allows Advanced Techniques and Supports Your Drumming Style Whether you re practicing at home or playing out, it s important to have a kick pedal that picks up all the subtleties of your drumming style. The KT-9 is a great choice for expressive players. The unit s feet ensure total stability, letting you work the pedal as hard or soft as you like (with the sound module picking up every nuance). With a familiar toe-stopper to set your foot position, the KT-9 s smooth pedal mechanism delivers authentic kick feel. It s your ticket to an energetic drum practice that won t disturb the neighbors. Create the Ultimate Percussion Setup with Connectivity to Roland Gear As your percussion setup evolves, you need a kick pedal that can keep up. Designed for open-ended flexibility, the KT-9 is compatible with Roland s full range of electronic percussion gear, from the OCTAPAD SPD-30 to the HandSonic HPD-20. It s the compact, ultra-quiet kick pedal that does it all. Accessories - Owner's Manual - Weight - Screw - Connection cable Option (sold separately): Noise eater (NE-10)
