Avatar HXW KD 2.5 Bass Drum Kick Trigger

The Avatar HXW KD 2.5 (often paired with sampling pads like the Avatar PD705 or PD708) is a compact, high-performance electronic kick drum trigger and pedal assembly. It is specifically engineered to provide a low-noise, highly responsive bass drum solution for hybrid setups, electronic drum kits, and multipads. Features & Specifications Trigger Surface: Features a 2.5-inch Real Silicone Trigger Puck (Pad). The high-grade silicone pad is designed to absorb impact efficiently, minimizing physical rebound vibration while preserving an authentic acoustic bass drum response. Acoustic Realism: Designed with a robust double-chain single pedal mechanism that ensures precision, stability, and zero lateral wobble during fast double-tap or heavy-footed playing styles. Sensitivity Control: Includes an onboard adjustable sensitivity knob directly on the trigger chassis. This allows you to fine-tune the dynamic response and velocity tracking without having to dive deep into your sample pad or drum module settings. Noise Optimization: Engineered for low-noise and low-volume operation. The combination of the silicone dampening pad and the included right-angle felt beater reduces the standard “thud” associated with hard plastic kick triggers, making it ideal for studio tracking or home practice. Connectivity: Uses a standard 1/4″ TRS (Stereo) Jack Input. It includes a 6.5ft right-angle TRS signal cable out of the box for immediate plug-and-play operation. Portability & Footprint: Compact, low-profile tower body with retractable floor spikes or high-grip backing to prevent the pedal from sliding forward on stage carpet or studio mats. Rigging & Compatibility Multi-Pad Integration: The KD 2.5 is fully optimized as an add-on expansion for the Avatar PD705 and PD708 percussion pads. However, because it relies on standard 1/4″ piezo trigger signals, it is universally compatible with major industry drum modules and sample pads (such as Roland SPD series, Alesis, and Yamaha) via their external kick trigger inputs. What is typically included in the bundle: 2.5″ Silicone Bass Trigger Tower Heavy-duty Kick Pedal (Double-chain drive) Right-Angle Felt Hammer/Beater 6.5ft TRS Signal Cable Best Use Cases Expanding percussion pads with a dedicated kick trigger. Silent home practice setups. Live electronic drum performances. MIDI drum triggering in recording environments. Portable drum and percussion rigs. This setup provides an excellent, budget-friendly hardware upgrade or backup kick tower for any working hybrid percussionist looking to maximize stage space while retaining a solid, tactile feel.
