What is a mesh head?

Mesh drum pads have the distinct advantage of being quiet and realistic in feel. The secret is the material, woven from special fabric. This material is very durable, and provides a remarkably

natural touch, just like an acoustic drum head. Now you can practice in silence without ever having to worry about sore wrists.

Perfect for Compact Kits and Roland Percussion Pads

Thanks to Roland’s FD-8 Hi-Hat Controller, drummers can get realistic hi-hat sounds with smooth transitions between open and closed. The updated look makes the FD-8 fit perfectly with the striking look of the V-Tour®and V-Compact®Series.

How it works

When an acoustic drumhead is struck, the surrounding air vibrates and a sound is produced. The harder it is struck, the more the head moves and the larger the sound. With Roland’s patented mesh head (multi-layered for superior feel and strength), the air is released from the gaps in the mesh fabric, so the surrounding air does not vibrate. This is what makes a mesh head so quiet.
