Roland NE-1 Noise Eater

Noise Eater Technology for V-Drums!

The NE-1 Noise Eater is a sturdy plate that features multiple rubber feet with hollow cavities. The NE-1 can be used with kick pads, kick pedals and hi-hat control pedals from the V-Drums series. It's designed so it doesn't affect pedal action, preserving the drummer's natural playing feel.

For drummers who live in multi-family buildings, Roland V-Drums are the only professional practice alternative, since acoustic drum kits are often too loud. With the Noise Eater series you can further optimize that situation and cut down on secondary noise. Roland's innovative Noise Eater series is a useful tool for damping impact noise and vibrations that occur when a foot pedal is pressed. This lets you further reduce the playing noise of Roland V-Drums—already quiet thanks to mesh-head pads—and protect rooms on lower floors from impact noise and vibrations transmitted through the floor.

Roland conducted extensive tests and found that, when used in addition to other measures, the Noise Eater series reduces the volume of directly transmitted impact noise and vibrations by approximately 75%. This feature makes it possible to play V-Drums at home at unusual times (e.g., at night) without disturbing people in neighboring rooms or other apartments.

• A highly effective solution for reducing noise when using kick pads/pedals, hi-hat control pedals and hi-hat stands.
• Reduces impact noise and vibrations by up to 75% (based on Roland's extensive tests).
• Play V-Drums without disturbing family or neighbors.
• Ideal for drummers living in apartments or multi-unit buildings, as well as for use in music classrooms and recording studios.
• The NE-10 can be used with: KT-10 Kick Trigger Pedal, KD-9 Kick Pad, KD-7 Kick Trigger and FD-8 Hi-Hat Control Pedal.
• When using the NE-10 with a Roland KD-140/KD-120 V-Kick or a hi-hat stand equipped with a Roland VH-13/VH-11 V-Hi-Hat, place an NE-1 under each foot of the stands. This achieves maximum damping of impact noise and vibrations.
