Feel &
Features
The
RMP-3 is outfitted with a great-feeling, tunable mesh pad for realistic
and quiet performance. A small pickup is mounted inside the pad,
enabling you to monitor your drumming through headphones, along with the
metronome and coaching audio. You can play along to external audio as
well, thanks to the Mix In jack. Position the RMP-3 on your lap, a
tabletop, or mount it on a stand, such as Roland’s PDS-2.
Rhythm
Coach
As a
free-standing practice pad, the RMP-3 is a pleasure to play, but it’s
the built-in Rhythm Coach that really makes this unit shine. When
activated, the Rhythm Coach challenges drummers in a fun and friendly
way with functions such as Time Check, Auto Up/Down, and the new "Stroke
Balance" mode to help develop consistent stick technique.
Audio/Visual
The
RMP-3’s large LCD provides easy-to-read instructional information,
complete with a smooth-flow onscreen tempo meter that bounces from side
to side. Large buttons and a clearly labeled front panel make using the
RMP-3 a snap. It has a built-in speaker for the metronome sounds, or you
can monitor your drumming, metronome, and internal audio through
headphones if privacy is desired.
Rhythm Coach
function - Time Check
Your
ability will increase rapidly with the Rhythm Coach function. In sync
with the metronome, this exercise encourages you to strike the pad with
accurate timing. The display informs how accurate your shot was in seven
levels.
- Rhythmic
Notes
This
provides basic training by changing the rhythm type every two measures.
Particularly useful for pre-practice warm-up, this exercise helps you
master the timing of various notes.
- Stroke
Balance
The
display indicates how strong you play by using metronome needle. You can
improve the balance and accent with both hands via visual assistance.
A mesh practice
pad for realistic feel and quiet practice!
Mesh
drum pads have the distinct advantage of being quiet and realistic in
feel. The secret is the material, woven from special fabric. This
material is very durable, and provides a remarkably natural touch, just
like an acoustic drum head. Now you can practice in silence without ever
having to worry about sore wrists!
How mesh head
works
When an
acoustic drum head is struck, the surrounding air vibrates and a sound
is produced. The harder it is struck, the more the head moves and the
larger the sound. With a mesh head, the air is released from the gaps in
the mesh fabric, so the surrounding air does not vibrate. This is what
makes a mesh head so quiet.
Head made by REMO
U.S.A.
Roland’s
patented mesh head was jointly developed with REMO USA, a top
manufacturer of acoustic drum heads.
