The Roland KD-180 is a V-Drums 18" bass drum designed to deliver the look and playability of an acoustic kick for drummers at rehearsal, in the studio, or onstage. It features an 18 x 12" 7-ply birch shell with custom chrome shell fittings and pre-installed kick trigger electronics. With accurate triggering and a natural playing feel, it is optimal in electronic kits and alongside acoustic drums.

Q: 2. Since this has a built-in preamp, would you connect it to line input? Also, wouldn't it need phantom power since it's a condenser mic?

Q: 4. Hello, with this Nodal Rail is nothing more necessary? I mean, do I put the Nodal Rail on my tripod, and can I use it for panoramic photographs? Or do I need to buy something else to complement it with the Nodal Rail?

A: You would need two of the other rails to build the full panoramic shooting rig. An easier alternative would be to get an L-Bracket and a tripod head that pans.

Q: 8. would this work on a practice pad with a metal rim?

Q: 9. Does this work with the TD-30 Brain?

A: Yes, the Roland KD-10 Kick Pad can be used with the Roland TD-30.

Q: 10. Does this rail have laser etched or painted on marks?

A: I'm not sure how to tell the difference between painted and laser etched, yet the numbers that are present (on each side of the rail, as well as the top) appear to be high quality and durable. The nodal rail also has a nice feel (weight) in the hand, and is solidly well constructed. I'd recommend the purchase. The only thing missing is a marker system to mark your settings once you've establish them for your particular lens. My work around for this has been some black electrical tape to mark my key positions, or to write the numbers down on some paper I keep with me.
