cool it ain't, but it works great
you're not going to win any style points by using this, and if you're in a room above someone (apartment complex, etc), the down-firing beater transmits directly into the floor, so you may want to avoid this. Beyond that, however, it works perfectly fine, and doesn't take up much space. This is my second KD7, the first of which stopped responding to soft hits after about 3 years of abuse (5+ days a week, 2-4 hours a day, on average). I imagine I could've gotten away cheaper w/ a piezo replacement, but I figured I'd order a new one and try to fix the old one eventually. Anyhow... works great.

Compact Kick Pad w/adj sensitivity.
I'm no musician, just starting to learn the drums. I bought this to go with my Yamaha DD65 portable drum set, which I bring with me when I travel. The DD65 comes with tiny little foot switch which doesn't replicate a traditional foot pedal at all. A standard Kick Drum pad is nearly as big as the whole DD65! This was the perfect substitute. It's compact and works with a standard pedal. It comes with a custom beater. I can't judge the sound from my DD65, but this was a perfect match for it when practicing while traveling.

Great Unit, and A Great Company
Great unit. I purchased this for my Roland HPD-10, and it's perfect. A bit bigger than I expected, but still easy to carry around, and great sensitivity. What's not so great? Now I need another kick pedal, as it isn't practical to keep moving between my real kick and this, and the beater heads are different. Oh well, worth every penny, and B&H was the greatest to work with!

Great bass trigger!
Before buying the kd7 I bought the pintech ergokik and the kat percussion kick trigger. Both broke within a month. Not only has the kd7 lasted longer than both of those,the build quality is much better,and the triggering is much smoother and consistent. Don't waste time with the others. The Roland is a bit more money but definitely worth the extra expense.

Best kick trigger pad on the market
The only Roland trigger pad that was developed in the early 90's and still being sold today - and for good reason. The rock solid design, the impeccable tracking, and feel just can't be beat - even 20 years later. Leave it to B&H to sell it at price point others can't even touch.

I expect more sensitivity response
I expect more sensitivity response. Can't catch the small and quiet kicks. Maybe is because i'm plug it to a KTMP1. Will be more sensitive plugged to an Octapad? Someone should now how to increase the unit sensitivity. Help me please!!!

get em while you can! not many left !
I use this unit with an old beat up td5 as my second kick mixed into the first. Came with the reverse beater (not the pedal in case you are readin this) and was readily adaptable to any pedal. Seriously happy with it, NO ISSUES!

Great Product
Used the Roland KD-7 as a replacement for a damaged unit. B&H was fast at getting the unit to me for the weekend gig. Replacing the unit was a snap and everything came together. Thanks B&H for saving me again.

Great kick trigger at a great price
I've used an S&S Industries kick trigger with my DW5000 since 1996. The KD-7 was very easy to attach to my DW Pedal, plays just like my S&S, has wonderful sensitivity and sounds great with my TD-5 brain.
