ROLAND PD-14DSX 14" DIGITAL SNARE DRUM PAD

Roland PD-14DSX 14" Digital Snare Drum Pad

Unmatched realism meets next-generation electronic performance. The Roland PD-14DSX 14" Digital Snare is a flagship-level drum pad designed to bring acoustic snare feel and nuance into the digital world. With a full 14" diameter, ultra-responsive triggering, and advanced multi-sensor technology, this pad translates your playing with stunning accuracy — from ghost notes and buzz rolls to rimshots and cross-sticks.

When paired with compatible Roland modules, the PD-14DSX unlocks deep expressive control, wide dynamic range, and incredibly natural response. Its premium build and brushed metal shell deliver the look, feel, and presence of a real acoustic snare, making it a top choice for serious drummers and professional e-drum setups.

Features & Characteristics

• 14" full-size snare pad: Authentic acoustic snare diameter for natural feel and stick response.
• Advanced multi-sensor system: Captures subtle articulations with high precision — from soft ghost notes to powerful rimshots.

• Positional sensing: Accurately detects where you strike the head for realistic tonal variation.
• Dedicated cross-stick detection: Automatic, seamless switching between playing techniques.

Why This Snare Pad Stands Out

The PD-14DSX is one of Roland’s most expressive and realistic digital snare pads ever produced. With its full-size design and cutting-edge triggering, it’s ideal for drummers who want uncompromising accuracy and an acoustic-like playing experience in an electronic setup.
