RolandKD-A22 Kick Drum Converter
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bring a regular 22-inch acoustic bass drum into a TD-50K or TD-50KV setup with the KD-A22 converter. The retrofit replaces the drum’s head and hoop, adding a front head, sensor-equipped batter head, metal hoop, and shock-absorber cushions. Roland’s air-damper mechanics work with the acoustic shell, preserving the acoustic-kick playing feel while creating a visually substantial electronic-drum setup onstage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- TD-50K or TD-50KV players converting an existing regular 22-inch acoustic bass drum.
- Electronic drum setups that need the look and playing feel of an acoustic kick shell.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Acoustic bass drums that are not 22 inches.
- Electronic drum setups other than the named TD-50K or TD-50KV configurations.
