Roland RMP-5 Rhythm Coach

The Roland RMP-5 Advanced Rhythm Trainer with Built-In Sounds.

The RolanD RMP-5. The RMP-3 made headlines when it was announced in early 2005. Today Roland builds on its winning rhythm line with the RMP-5. Sharing a few key features in common with the popular RMP-3, the RMP-5 has a convenient one-piece molded body with integrated pad and brain, along with a great-feeling, tunable mesh drumhead. The RMP5 strides to the front of the class, however, with its 40-plus onboard PCM sounds (including snare drums, cymbals, and percussion instruments; the RMP-3 has no built-in sampled sounds) plus an external dual trigger input so you can add a kick and cymbal pad for drum kit practice. The RMP-5 also features an advanced, expanded Rhythm Coach mode.

The main features of the Roland RMP-5 include:

• PCM sound engine with more than 40 sounds onboard
