Yamaha KP100 Kick Pad

KICK IT UP A NOTCH

Finally a kick pad that keeps up with you when you’re at your best. Introducing the KP100, a digital kick pad built for players who demand stability and accuracy that is consistent with their level of playing.

The KP100 features a softer, more responsive head for an improved feel that will enhance your overall performance. The entire head has been reinforced with a protective coating, bolstering durability and extending the life expectancy of your kit, regardless of your playing style.

With its enlarged surface area and sturdy construction, the KP100 can easily accommodate Double Foot Pedal, giving you the improved stability and accuracy you need for double kick performance and allowing you to play to your fullest potential.

Our extensive research and development has resulted in a design that features a smooth depression surrounding the drumhead, effectively preventing vibrations from being transmitted to the surrounding body. Now you – and anyone within earshot – can benefit from a significant reduction in unwanted during your practices.
