It connects to a V-Drums module or SPD-series percussion pad via a stereo 1\/4\" output, enabling drummers to trigger sounds and control performance functions - including start\/stop of backing tracks, phrase loops, effects on\/off, kit selection, and tap tempo - without rearranging their existing kit layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor drummers exploring the best add-on trigger pad for V-Drums or looking for an affordable way to add electronic triggers to an acoustic drum kit, the BT-1 delivers a uniquely low-profile solution. Its curved bar shape mounts directly to the side of a compatible Roland V-Pad or the rim of an acoustic drum via a standard tension rod - so it stays within natural reach without crowding the kit. Multiple BT-1 units can be added simultaneously for expanded control, making it a scalable option for hybrid drumming rigs of any complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BT-1 features an internal design engineered to reject false triggering caused by sympathetic vibration from surrounding drums and cymbals - a critical advantage in live performance environments where adjacent impact noise is constant. Compatible V-Pads include the PD-128S, PD-128, PD-108, PD-125, PD-105, PDX-100, and PD-85, and the pad also integrates with the full SPD-series line. For setups requiring rack-mounted positioning, the optional MDH-series Pad Mount provides an additional mounting solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features of the Roland BT-1 Bar Trigger Pad\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved Bar Form Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounts flush against a V-Pad or acoustic drum rim, keeping the pad within natural playing reach without altering existing kit geometry or cymbal placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFalse Trigger Rejection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal design eliminates unintended triggering from vibration generated by adjacent drums, pads, and cymbals - delivering clean, accurate performance signals in loud environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTension Rod Mounting System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs quickly through a drum tension rod with included attachment hardware, requiring no permanent modifications to the drum or existing mounting hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad V-Drums and SPD Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with a wide range of Roland V-Drums pads and SPD-series percussion pads for triggering sounds, loops, effects, kit changes, tap tempo, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScalable Expansion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multiple BT-1 units can be added to a single setup, enabling progressive expansion of control and triggering options without adding large secondary pads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo 1\/4\" Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects to any standard trigger input on a V-Drums module or SPD pad via the included stereo connection cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriggers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stereo 1\/4\" phone jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcceptable Rod Diameters:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.0-12.5 mm (3\/8\"-1\/2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible V-Drums Pads:\u003c\/strong\u003e PD-128S, PD-128, PD-108, PD-125, PD-105, PDX-100, PD-85\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-3\/4\" (170 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-1\/8\" (53 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-6\/16\" (60 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 lbs. 11 oz.
