Kick triggering (Roland KD-120)
Hi guys, I am curious to know if the Roland KD-120 is compatible with the Nord Drum 2?

Re: Kick triggering (Roland KD-120)
Hi,
Most probably,
I presume it's technically not very different from other Roland pads, the ND2 has a dedicated setting for Roland pads, but in fact even any simple piezo is compatible
I'm currently thinking of selling my noisy rubber Yamaha kick pad, and will be looking for a beaterless 'silent' bassdrum solution. Roland and Yamaha both make one, but the Krigg by Triggera, seems the perfect solution for me; installed on your own bass pedal it's supposedly very silent, and it is extremely affordable!
Cheers,
Albert

Thanks for your response! I will consider the Krigg by Triggera.

Re: Kick triggering (Roland KD-120)
I am very tempted by the Roland KT-10 pedal for my ND2 but I am wondering whether it's going to work without any glitches
Did you have a go with any trigger pedal ?

Re: Kick triggering (Roland KD-120)
A bit late but here is the follow up:
The Triggera was very easy to install on my bassdrum pedal, but I had a horrible retriggering problem with it at first.
Perhaps it was caused by vibrations in my bassdrum pedal (e.g. the spring), so I had to experiment quite a bit with trigger type and threshold settings, but once that was sorted it worked quite well!!
I prefer the Nord Pad over my rubber Yamaha Pads. Both are equally noisy, but the Yamaha pads were constantly triggered by my acoustic kit, which I could fix with thres/sens. settings but then the pads became horribly insensitive, as a result i started hitting the pads harder..which made them noisier.. On top of that the Nord Pad is way easier to set up than a bunch of pads..
So the Triggera + Nord Pad is now my favorite combination!

Re: Kick triggering (Roland KD-120)
Received my Krigg just this past Friday, installed it on my trusted good old Pearl Eliminator and it works perfectly. No retriggering issues so far but this is a very sensitive thing, moving the pedal around alone can trigger the ND. But when it's in place it works great and opens up new territories with the Nord Drum/Pad combo. It also comes at the most affordable price and with Triggera's excellent sales/customer service. The price/value ratio seems ubeatable here.wartaler wrote:A bit late but here is the follow up:
