Roland | Bar Trigger Pad | BT-1

The Roland BT-1 Bar Trigger Pad is a compact, professional trigger designed to add electronic versatility to any drum setup. It mounts easily onto the side of acoustic drums or V-Drums pads, allowing you to trigger samples, backing tracks, or effects—from percussion sounds like tambourines to full loops.

Its curved design fits naturally into your existing setup, while responsive sensors deliver accurate triggering and minimise crosstalk from surrounding drums. Lightweight and easy to position, it’s ideal for drummers wanting to expand their sound without changing their kit layout.

Once connected to a module such as an SPD-SX or V-Drums brain, the BT-1 can trigger sounds or control functions like start/stop, loops, and more. It’s a simple and affordable way to integrate electronics into an acoustic kit or add extra triggers to an electronic setup.
