Roland KD-7 Kick Controller
I bought this product a few months ago to use with my SPD-30. I find it very portable & very easy to use due to its size. One very big plus with this unit is it doesn't creep when hit due to the beater angle And very good quality velcro attached to the bottom of it when used on carpet. I have a Roland KD-80 kick pad also but find that will creep unless secured with string to my drum seat. If I usethe FD-7 on a wooden floor I mount the unit on a small car carpet which rests against the SPD-30 Stand. Playability of this unit is excellent, noise emmision (beater to pad) very good & I find quality of this unit very good .All things considered an excellent product & very good value for money.

Great quality
I owned a cheaper kick pad before this one and the difference is vast.
Firstly, this is a very solidly made piece and is deceptively heavy.
It can stand up to a lot of abuse. The trigger pad is also very durable and the sensitivity is great.
Another quality Roland product.

best kick pedal for hybrid kits
I've been using this pedal for years now and it's absolutely amazing.
While I mainly use Yamaha stuff for the rest of my electronic set up, I have to say that no other company can get close to Roland pads.
The unusual angle on which you hit the pad takes a little bit of time to get used to and I know a few drummer find it uncomfortable - but for me it absolutely does the job.
The best thing about this pad is that due to its design its very easy to integrate it into your acoustic set up. No other kick pad fits right next to your Acoustic kick pedal partially under your acoustic kick drum.
Build quality is great. Absolutely solid piece of equipment, ready to be thrown around on the road.

Perfect for us on acoustic kit.
Does what it needs to do. Use it as second pedal next to the kick-pedal to trigger electronic sounds from an spd-sx. Kind of a must have in modern music it seems. Have not had the need to use the audio in. The unit could be a bit more quiet in use but there are some easy hacks to fix that. But it most def. not overbearingly loud.

Such a great product
This is a compact and solid pedal. Good feeling, portable and low space usage.
