    I see this kit doesn’t have a mesh bass drum pad. It may be an idea to invest in one as they are a lot quiter.

    SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

    Hello mark.king

    Thanks for your answer.
    So something like a Roland KD-85BK, KD-120BK or KD-140.
    I assume they all 3 have mesh pads yeah?
    Would a KD-85BK do just fine? They’re all a bit expensive, 120 and 140 are way expensive though o.O .
    Thanks.

    I would try before you buy.
    I’m sure the mesh head will be quieter, but perhaps not as quiet as you hope.

    Hello Whitten

    I would guess the mesh heads on these bass triggers are the same as my toms? The KD-8 is REALLY loud because of the hard ruber surface it has.
    I could easily imagine the mesh head on a KD-85 would be a lot quieter, not completely silent no, that I wouldn’t hope for.
    But yeah I would check it out before buying, for that amount of money I ain’t just gonna buy it just to get let down.
    Thanks.

    You may also have to consider a riser. I saw a very interesting DYI one here on this Forum, built with tennis balls.
