Overview
While not exactly a conventional drum kit, the Roland Octapad SPD-30 V2 gets a special spot on this list for being an add-on tool for drummers, while still being a capable and easily portable stand alone kit.
It is often used as an add-on tool by drummers on stage, especially in worship and pop music circles. But it can also work as a compact electronic drum kit complete with a kick trigger pedal and a hi-hat control pedal.
At its core are the SPD-30 percussion pads that utilize the latest technology that Roland has to offer, as seen in their premium V-Drums line.
For easy setup, the unit comes with a double-braced tripod stand with height adjustments.
Whether you’re looking for a portable kit, or you just want to expand your sonic palette, the Roland Octapad SPD-30 V2 will get the job done.
