Roland RMP-12 Electrifies Your Drumline

April 17, 2008
Roland RMP-12

Anyone as inspired by the 2002 blockbuster smash Drumline starring Nick Cannon as the sharply witty Devon Miles will appreciate the new Roland RMP-12. It's the first ever electronic marching-percussion instrument that uses Roland's multi-layer mesh head technology.

Furthermore, it has a built-in sound module and Rhythm Coach, so you can channel the wise words of Dr. Lee. It works well for quiet practice in addition to indoor and outdoor performance while featuring some tools you won't find on your regular snare.

  • 12-inch pad with rim triggering and a great acoustic feel
  • Unique mesh pad lets drummers practice longer without the typical strain to their joints they typically suffer from traditional acoustic field drums
  • Newly designed module with a variety of sounds
  • Mode Selection for Marching Live and Practice
  • Built-in Rhythm Coach to enhance individual or group practice
  • Simple, friendly operation
  • Lightweight and portable with battery power
  • Connect to other battery-powered amplifiers for mobile practice and performance capabilities (such as the Street or Mobile Cube amps)
  • Mix input and audio output for personal and professional use
  • Easily attaches to standard marching carriers or standard concert snare stands
  • Headphone output for quiet practice
