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.

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.

With an optional kick and a 
cymbal pad connected to the 
RMP-5, you can build your 
own custom drum kit by 
assigning which internal sound 
you’d like to play on each pad.

famous V-Pads, plus a rubber rim silencer for ultra-quiet
