Frequently Asked Questions

The mesh head provides a dampened, more responsive feel, lacking the 'bounce' of an acoustic head but offering a satisfying, consistent impact.
It utilizes a standard Roland connector, but compatibility with other brands will depend on the module's trigger input capabilities and adjustment options.
The foam insulation drastically reduces acoustic noise, but it's still a trigger; the module's volume and sample will still be audible.
