The RMP-12 is the world’s first electronic
marching percussion instrument to incorporate Roland’s patented
multi-layer mesh head technology, allowing drummers to practice longer
with less stress and fatigue. The 12-inch pad with rim triggering
connects to a newly-designed module with 128 different sounds and
effects, including a wide variety of marching, concert, and world
percussion instruments.
The battery-powered RMP-12 is lightweight and
portable, and can easily attach to standard marching carriers or
concert snare stands. It also is perfect as an additional drum pad for
any acoustic or electronic drum set. The I/O features of the RMP-12
include an audio output for connection to a wireless system or direct
connection to an external amplifier or audio system. A mix input is
included to connect any audio source to the RMP-12, and a headphone
output for quiet practice.
The RMP-12 also includes the Rhythm Coach, an
invaluable practice tool that helps drummers improve timing, accuracy,
speed, and stamina through a series of unique metronome-based drills
and exercises. Seamless switching from practice mode to live
marching mode makes the RMP-12 the perfect instrument tool for both
performance and practice.
The RMP-12 marching percussion instrument is now shipping with a retail price of $699.
