does it work without a drum kit?

Hi Steph, It's an electronic trigger pedal, velocity sensitive, that can play any electronic sound from a sound module that can receive its trigger signal on a 1/4 inch jack. Most of these types are drum-centered modules. It does not require a drum kit, but needs an electronic sound module plus an amplification system of some kind, or headphones, to hear it. This pedal does not send a Midi signal.

Will it work with Alesis drum pad?

As far as I know, a beaterless, silent kick pedal like the KU 100 doesn't require a drum pad. -If it's striking against an Alesis drum pad...it wouldn't be silent! so if you meant "will it work with Alesis drum MACHINE" -I'm not 100 % sure it will work with an Alesis, but I bet it will. My friend used the Yamaha KP65 kick pad on his Alesis with no issues, so if that KP65 works on yours, then I'm guessing the KU100 will also - I've checked youtube videos for compatibility before, they can be so helpful! -good luck, I hope you get it going! -peace.

Could you use 2 of these using a splitter?

Probably. It's passive, so that should work. But this pedal is terrible and no one should waste their money on it.

will this work with a SoundX model??

It's just a trigger, so it should work. But it should also be better in general. If you're looking for a good kick trigger, this is not it.

本来の使い方とは違うと思いますが、rolandの電子ドラムセットと組み合わせてツーバス仕様にして使っています。踏み心地はちょうどよく、重宝しています。

Much cheaper than the Roland branded pedals, and works great including velocity sensitivity on the trigger ports. The kick pedal is not particularly stiff in terms of it's springiness, but playable and sounds great.
