Comfortable, Quiet Mesh Head

The RMP-series pads are outfitted with a great-feeling, tunable mesh drumhead for realistic and quiet performance. Just like on an acoustic drum, the RMP’s head can be adjusted for tension. The result is a true acoustic feel, but without the noise. By plugging in headphones, drummers can enjoy silent, concentrated practice without disturbing others.

Fun, Friendly Features

The large LCD provides easy-to-read instructional
information, complete with a smooth-flow onscreen
tempo meter that bounces from side to side. Large
buttons and a clearly labeled front panel simplify
operation. Each RMP has a built-in speaker for the
metronome sounds, and a Mix In jack for playing
along with external audio. Use the RMP on your lap,
a tabletop, or best of all, with Roland’s convenient
PDS-2 stand (optional).	stand PDS-2

Expanded Features with the RMP-5

Great Sounds Onboard!

Breaking the boundaries of pre-existing practice pads, the RMP-5 includes 54 of Roland’s finest snare, kick, hi-hat, cymbal, and percussion sounds for you to play. It also provides an assortment of metronome sounds, including a standard click, human-voice count, rhythmic patterns, and more.

Connect Kick & Cymbal Pads

The RMP-5 provides a dual-trigger input that can be used to connect a Roland kick trigger and a cymbal pad, such as the KD-8, CY-8, etc (optional). All together, these three components form the nucleus of a small electronic drum kit. Now you can train not only your hands, but your feet as well.

Your Own Personal Rhythm Coach Included

The RMP-series is equipped with Roland’s famous Rhythm Coach exercises, which challenge and score your playing in fun and friendly ways. Put your skills to the test with Time Check, Auto Up/Down, and Stroke Balance, for example, to help develop consistent stick technique. Adjust the workout level according to your abilities and goals.
