Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MH2-12 fit my Roland V-Drums pads?
Yes, the MH2-12 works as a replacement mesh head for most V-Drums V-Pads. The only exceptions are the PDX-8 and PDX-6, which are not compatible.
Can I use the MH2-12 on an acoustic drum with a trigger?
Yes, it is specifically designed to be compatible with Roland RT-30 series Acoustic Drum Triggers, letting you convert a 12-inch acoustic tom or snare for electronic triggering.
How much quieter is a mesh head compared to a standard drum head?
Mesh heads produce significantly less acoustic volume than traditional mylar heads, making the MH2-12 well suited for home practice where noise is a concern.
