Powerful and versatile
I solely used this as my percussion instrument while touring Europe for 2 months. It's small, light, and packs a punch for what I was doing musically. The ability to upload my own sounds, create kits, edit sounds and play them was a breeze. Sometimes the issue was either missing the small pads around the perimeter or them not triggering as well because I was slightly off center. Otherwise, a very solid product. I love Roland and all their gear!

Roland HPD-20
Very playable and great sounding Pad. Many features, easy to carry around and thanks to the soft pads - not painful for your fingers.
Steep price but one of the best! Don't forget to buy stander!

This is magnificent!
If you are a percussionist, this is the best companion piece to a portable live performance. Easy to carry and light. No cons really. It's an electronic instrument but the bongo and conga sounds are pretty much realistic.

Room for improvement
It's a very decent machine. At the time I bought it, it was considerably cheaper than the current price. For the current price, I don't think it's worth the money. The pads are OK but playing softly doesn't always trigger a hit. The quality feels a bit cheaper and more plastic than how it comes across in the picture. The onboard sounds are okay but nothing to write home about. Using it as a controller for sounds from for example Toontrack, I found it never really translated well despite fiddling with velocity curves etc. Perhaps it's just me, but I never found it to work really well. Always loved the old Roland synths but this doesn't feel like it's in the same class.

Roland Handsonic hpd20
The PhD 20 truly meets all my needs and some.
The options I now have are only limited by my imagination I now feel I have a piece of kit that lets me grow.
Roland have thought of everything with this pad which gets me thinking and that is not a bad thing!
