The PD-10P delivers professional playability and acoustic realism in a compact 10-inch pad. Its chrome hoop design, responsive rubber rim, and triple piezo sensors ensure natural stick rebound and precise dynamic response. Engineered to eliminate hot spots and deliver consistent triggering, it’s perfect for both snare and tom applications in any V-Drums setup.

PD-12P V-Pad (12")

With its larger 12-inch playing surface, the PD-12P offers increased control and expression.

Ideal for drummers seeking a balance between comfort and performance feel.
