Roland PDX-8
Product information "Roland PDX-8"
Two inches more for the same price! While the PD85 is a pure 8" pad, the PDX-8 is an 8" Pad with a wider outboard rim zone. Two inches in diameter have thus been added. RimShots are much more natural and comfortable to play. The trigger is now moved from the center to the edge, avoiding loud trigger strokes, which can occur in others Mesh pads occasionally in front of the trigger cushion (foam cones), and the significantly improved pad holder is softer, and the clamp works much better.

Roland was founded as a manufacturer of various musical instruments and studio equipment on 18 April 1972 in Osaka, Japan. Among the earliest products to reach the market were the first rhythm machines of the TR series, whose successors TR-808, TB-303 and TR-909 had a decisive influence on the techno, electro and hip-hop scenes. In the mid-1970s the JC-120 Jazz Chorus guitar amplifier was developed, whose ultra-clear sound together with the built-in chorus effect won over both Andy Summers of The Police and Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield of Metallica. Since then and to this day Roland have continuously expanded their catalogue across a wide range of fields such as digital pianos, grooveboxes, e-drums and synthesizers with high-quality and interesting products.
