V-Drums Quiet Design is a revolutionary advancement in home drumming, delivering the lowest playing noise in the history of V-Drums. Born of decades of Roland testing and development, the V-Drums Quiet Design pads, stand, and pedal bases work together to keep in-home playing sounds and vibration transfer in check without sacrificing feel and response. Noise is reduced by an astonishing 75 percent compared with a conventional V-Drums kit, which was already among the quietest in the industry. The NEQ-K is a noise-isolating kick pedal base newly developed for the V-Drums Quiet Design series. The carefully engineered isolation board material and rubber feet dramatically reduce noise transmission, keeping your foot-stomping thumps and vibrations from transferring to the floor and other rooms in your living space.
