Roland PDX-12 12" Dual-Trigger Electronic Drum Pad

Bring authentic acoustic snare feel into your electronic kit with the Roland V-Pad PDX-12. Purpose-built for drummers who demand lifelike response, this 12-inch electronic snare pad delivers natural playability and expressive performance, making the transition from acoustic to electronic smoother than ever.

The dual-trigger system provides precise detection across the entire playing surface, capturing everything from delicate ghost notes and buzz rolls to dynamic rimshots and cross-sticks with remarkable accuracy. Paired with a Roland V-Drums sound module (sold separately), the PDX-12 unlocks a fully customizable snare experience — adjust muffling, tuning, and strainer tension to shape your sound exactly the way you want it.

Its tunable two-ply mesh head allows you to dial in your preferred rebound — whether you like a softer, more forgiving feel or a tight, articulate snap. With its 12-inch diameter, the PDX-12 feels close to a real acoustic snare, making it easier for drummers to adapt their technique. Plus, the shallow-profile design ensures it integrates neatly into any drum rack system, while also mounting easily to a traditional snare stand for added flexibility.

Whether you’re practicing quietly at home, recording with precision, or performing live, the Roland PDX-12 brings professional snare realism to your V-Drums setup.
