Review: It works if you use it right - When I purchased it I saw a lot of reviews talking about how it only worked if you hit it in the center, or how it just wasn't as loud as other pads when you struck it. I pulled it out of the package and plugged it into my TD-27, and started to see what the people were talking about. I was all set to write a bad review when a light bulb went on in my head, "Let's try and see what pad it's set for in the drum module". It turns out it was set to a two zone cymbal pad. All the sudden ... it worked as expected. The rejection of the pad is great. I hit the stand it was on several times and while it didn't trigger, the ride and tom attached to the stand did. I would feel comfortable putting it on one of my toms without worrying about it accidentally getting triggered from me hitting the drum. The build quality and design are well executed, and I don't really have a lot to complain about. I purchased this when there was a price drop, so I got it for around $80. If i had acted a day or two earlier it would have been closer to $70. The current price seems to be holding at $135 now, which is what it's cost when I've looked at them in the past. I think the Roland PD-8 is a better deal at retail prices, since it's a dual zone trigger, but at the lower price I purchased it for, it's a good deal. The versatile mounting system makes it a good fit for applications that the PD-8 wouldn't work as well for. It's a good trigger, just make sure to change your trigger type in the drum module.
Review: Sounds Great - Awesome! Works Great and easy to set-up and use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is contact by drum-stick loud or quiet? (got a mesh head set for quietness of contact & hoping this would be quiet as well)**
A: It can be loud or quiet depending on how you play it. It responds to stick velocity just like other Roland pads do.

**Q: Is it compatable with roland td 30kv kit**
A: Yes. I had a TD-30 kit and used two of these.

**Q: Can this plug into any of the wires coming from sound module of either my TD-25 or td-11?**
A: Because the BT-1 is a single-trigger pad, you should be able to use any of the cables that were connected to a pad on the set. The TD-11 and TD-24 sound modules both have an AUX port that you can plug in the included trigger cable and trigger a variety of sounds with the BT-1. Unless you do not need one of the existing trigger pads that were included with your set, the AUX port is a good option.

**Q: will this fit a TD 11 module if the extra crash 2 input is taken?**
A: Yes you can plug this into any roland module with a 1/4” input connection and then select any sound to assign

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds Great
*by Z***R on December 14, 2025*

Awesome! Works Great and easy to set-up and use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome addition to drum kit!
*by C***N on December 25, 2020*

I LOVE this extra trigger for my TDK 17! It’s been great as an added cowbell or tambourine sound. I installed it on the arm of my first Tom (just above the Tom pad) so it’s within easy reach but also doesn’t interfere with other drums or cymbals. Getting the pre-installed plastic piece off the bottom of the install bracket in the first place was a bit tricky but I found some online info or a YouTube video that helped. As far as functionality, the only caveat is that occasionally it takes a few “warm up” hits on the pad before the trigger starts working and I get sound from it, but this doesn’t happen often - and once I start playing during a given drum session it works consistently with no issues. Overall I’m very happy with my BT-1 and only wish I had more auxiliary inputs so I could add another one to my kit!
