Overview

The Roland RDH-100A Noise Eater Bass Drum Pedal is engineered specifically for electronic drummers who need to keep noise levels down without compromising on playability. At its core is Roland's Noise Eater technology, integrated directly into the pedal's base plate to absorb the kinetic energy from each foot strike before it travels through the floor. For drummers practicing in apartments, shared houses, or rooms above living spaces, this can be the difference between playing comfortably and getting noise complaints.

Beyond its noise-reduction capabilities, the RDH-100A is a genuinely well-built kick pedal. The dual-chain drive delivers smooth, linear motion with minimal side-to-side wobble, while the adjustable spring tension lets you dial in exactly the resistance you prefer. The self-aligning beater eliminates the need to constantly reposition between sessions, ensuring consistent triggering every time you sit down to play. A brushed metal hinged footboard adds to the pedal's durability and premium feel. It is compatible with all Roland kick trigger pads, making it a straightforward upgrade for any Roland electronic drum kit setup.
