Overview

The Roland MH2-14 Powerply Mesh Drumhead is a 14-inch replacement head designed specifically for the Roland KD-140 V-Kick electronic kick drum pad. Built with Roland's dual-ply mesh construction, the head features two layers of woven mesh material that work together to provide a balanced combination of durability, rebound, and trigger sensitivity. Over time, mesh heads on electronic drum pads stretch, lose tension consistency, and degrade in their ability to accurately trigger sounds—the MH2-14 is the factory-spec replacement that restores the pad to its intended performance.

Installation mirrors the process of changing any standard drumhead: the old mesh is removed from the shell, the MH2-14 is seated over the bearing edge, and the hoop is reattached and tensioned evenly. Because it is an OEM Roland part, the mesh weave density and ply thickness are matched to the KD-140's trigger sensor, ensuring reliable and consistent triggering across the full dynamic range. For KD-140 owners experiencing reduced sensitivity, uneven response, or visible sagging in their current mesh head, the MH2-14 provides a direct, no-guesswork replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Roland MH2-14 compatible with electronic kick pads other than the KD-140?

The MH2-14 is specifically designed as a replacement head for the Roland KD-140 V-Kick. Compatibility with other Roland pads of the same diameter may be possible, but Roland lists it for the KD-140.

What does "Powerply" mean in the context of this mesh head?

Powerply refers to Roland's dual-ply mesh construction, which uses two layers of woven mesh material for increased durability and a more defined, controlled rebound compared to single-ply designs.

How do you install the MH2-14 on a KD-140?

Installation follows the same process as a standard drumhead replacement—remove the hoop and old mesh head from the KD-140 shell, place the MH2-14 over the bearing edge, reattach the hoop, and tension evenly using a drum key.

Does replacing the mesh head affect trigger sensitivity?

A fresh mesh head typically restores the original trigger response of the pad. Over time, mesh heads stretch and lose tension consistency, which can reduce sensitivity and playing feel.
