Sweetwater has to know how lucky they are to have Nick on their staff. I watch every video he's part of every time. What a beast of a salesman and even better drummer.
And singer, and bass player, and guitar player, and keyboard player…and, is a drummer that I never get tired of his musical skills.
Yep 👍
This guy is such a sick drummer,literally play with anybody in any genre. Hard to imagine anybody else really taking that kit to the level that he showcases it on. Even the kits I hate he still makes me sound cool. Nick knows a lotta tricks.
After having owned & played truckloads of acoustic kits from all major manufacturers ~ I’m now 100% Roland digital.
me 2 vst
I'm still rocking the TD-30KV after 10 years. Still holds up.
With SD3 -that's how I run my 30KV
@@johnnycashlesscomedy8616 how is the latency?
@@johnnycashlesscomedy8616 like does it FEEL as good as playing with the standard module? Or is there a disconnect?
I got this kit a few weeks ago. The digital instruments are a game changer. Buy it!
on the fence as 2 years ago i got a td17kvx, but this looks awesome!
@@CruxalYT What is really nice is the snare. All the digital pads are great but the snare is great.
@@CruxalYT.. I also got a TD17kvx a few years ago and love it. The mesh heads are so responsive it's like cheating. Aside from the improved functionality and pads and cymbals on this unit one of the big things I notice is how much cleaner the interface is on the controller compared to the TD17 with discreet knobs for common functions rather than using the spinning wheel for adjustments. Nice.
@@Ripperx121 the ride is pretty great too
@@christopherpederson1021 Yes didn't mean to leave that out. Just perfect response. This kit has made me a better drummer.
Great demonstration Nick sounds like an excellent set of drums!
I feel like part of the reason it sounds so good is the dude playing it lol
lol this always helps
Still rocking a TD-15kv here for the past 10 years. I'd love to get this kit, and combine it with my current one and daisy chain the modules... and create a monster kit.
Nick, I don't know if you'll see this comment but I would like to thank you for writing the song "There was a time" from the Spock's Beard album Octane. It's still one of my favorite songs!!
i still sing to it to this day - my favourite Spock's era was definitely when Nick was on lead vocals
I used to really hate the sound of electronic kits, but after I’ve come to the realization that it’s really all that is feasible for my environment, I’ve just started to mainly focus on the build quality of kits. Any cheap module can sound good with trigger software but a cheap kit won’t be built as well. In terms of sizes and the build quality of this kit, you’re getting something solid here.
I always enjoy Nick’s drumming and reviews
Happy to have picked one up for the studio. Wanted a VAD 507 yet this kit saves quite a bit amount of space as the studio is piled up. So it really checks off a lot of boxes. I. am coming from a TD11 and will be using Superior Drummer 3. Cheers! 🙌 🔥 🥁
Ha! I’m in literally an identical situation 😀
@@1Soumynona cheers! I get it. If I had the space the VAD507 all day. Heard nothing but good things. Yet on recordings it really doesn't matter as they will sound the same
Been using mine for a long time. I beat it pretty hard, and it’s still as good as new
OMG! Electro drums! I have the same sounding drums on my TD-8! I guess Roland likes to recycle a lot of their sound samples...
even though the build quality is top notch, the sound quality is still not quite there, I tried the TD-50 at a music store, and was blown away with the response of the USB snare and hi hat, but the sounds are still their signature synthetic drums, they're not bad if you use them for practice or in a venue, but for recording, I wouldn't use them, Alesis on the other hand, has better drum samples, tried their strike pro SE, and it was far better sound wise
The problem is Roland won't commit to huge memory storage and deeply layered samples. They do record real drums but they rely on digital trickery to "fill in the blanks" between the samples they've actually recorded. That tech is definitely getting better and better...this sounds WAY better than my TD9 for example. But it still doesn't quite measure up.
This happens in the sample world to. Play on EZ drummer and even Superior drummer samples and then compare them to Platinum Samples packs (on the BFD system) who use up to 256 velocity layers (actual recorded sounds) and you'll hear a difference there too. EZ drummer/Superior also use a scaling system. Granted theirs is amazing compared to the module sound and still very well sampled....but nothing really compares to just laying down sheer numbers of sample variety in the studio in my opinion. Even in the Platinum samples packs you can tell a difference between the drums that have more layers.
What a fantastic demo and an amazing kit. This is a totally new level of capability from an electronic kit. Having heard a top end roland demo a few years ago, I was inclined to think that electronic kits had hit a brick wall, snares were still 'machine gunning' and there was a synthetic bloom to all the sounds. This though is a completely different animal!
Wish this kit sounded more realistic out of the box like efnote.
I understand the name brand and quality of items that makes the price.. but for almost 3 grand shouldn't you get the stands for the hi hat, and snare at least? I mean the bass drum pedal is really expensive if you need a nice one too
Reaally considering getting one. Been watching every single video on this kit multiple times and will soon be making a decision on purchasing this kit, which is quit a bit of money. Plus theres the need to sound proof my flooring as I live in an apartment.
As much as I like this new tech this stuff needs to come down massively in price, you literally have MIDI from 1982 on these units!!
MIDI is MIDI what do you mean? The price point for Roland kits is pretty high! From everything I’ve seen they make the best hardware by far. But not everyone needs the best hardware and there are plenty of cheaper electronic drum options. You can even get some of the great Roland stuff for cheap used if you keep a lookout on reverb, eBay, etc.
@@MoboMata This is now 35 year old Technology so no excuses for these prices.
@@danfuerthgillis4483 you have no idea what you're talking about
The man the myth, di legend
lovely playing!
What a cool MIDI controller for GGD! Awesome
is it really? you can't even choke the cymbal on a Roland kit and have GGD register the choke...
Can you do this on other brands? Looking into buying an e-kit and I will mainly use it for GGD.@@TylerHNothing
The toms sounds like thunder ⛈️👍
These are great and fun to play. No issues.
This set up looks Ideal for my pupose as I want to use it soley for recording and nothing else.
Roland V-drummer for a LONG time here. And I have just sold everything and invested in the vastly superior Yamaha DTX10
Awesome playing as always Nick.. I bought one about a year ago.. Kinda bummed I missed out on the digital hi hat which is about $1K now by itself.. I've been very happy with mine, using EZDrummer 3 for the sounds..
Shopping around. Grandma passed away recently, found out I'm getting a large check soon. I've always stayed away from edrums due to price. But now I've got a good opportunity to acquire one.
I was all about buying a Roland one day...until I heard the Efnote 5 kit. That's the closest sound to an organic kit I've ever heard. Roland's are nice for the hardware, but man... Efnote... So good
Is the Efnote really that good? I am considering this TD27kv2 or the Efnote kit. Only problem is I can't try one out anywhere around here.
crazy that they didn't add the stands.... thinking about buying this one or the Alexis strike pro se
Nick is a skilled drummer, and a great présenter in marketing. Both are required skills in the YT business.
Wow... These look and SOUND great! I've wanted an electronic drum kit ever since I played the FIRST V-Drums that came out, lol... I've gotta get some of these... The side stick feature, and the real hats, the response of the pads, and even how it looks is awesome!
That snare sounds like an ak47
Old and rusty...?
@@isihernandez9752 😂👍
Ya sounds like a machine Gun 😁
What, you want snare to sound like AR-15? pfft
Is that good or bad thing?
The set sounds great, but I wish Sweetwater would share tutorials on how to properly set it up on the most popular mixers, like the Behringer X32 ( EQ, compression, etc) What we hear in the video is not what is sounds like live going thru main speakers without that. I am using the TD27 with my VAD506... Any suggestions Sweetwater ??
All of the kits that ship with the modules are already “mixed” and generally speaking ready to record or play without modification. You can dig pretty deep into the settings for EQ, compression, micing, ambience, etc if you want to. Personally, I’ve found it’s much easier to use the kits more or less as they come and fix anything that needs it (usually very little) after recording.
Next stop for Roland: fix those machine gun toms!
I just wonder, why those toms still sound like that. Kick snare and cymbals are pretty nice.?
lmao exactly! fake as hell sounding
I love acoustic drums and B20 alloy cymbals only thank you very much.
Thanks so much for taking the time to let strangers on the internet know you don't plan to buy this product. It's VERY important that we know.
I know that the roland drum set are the best but is alesis crimson ll similar to roland? (Just curious)
Nowhere near the quality. Just by experience, Roland stuff is usually better built.
Agreed. That's why Roland sued Alesis to end fair competition.
Right out of the gate; wonderful playing, great kit hobbled by inferior drum sounds. Roland has really got to get with it as far as their samples go.
Yes the sounds from the default kits are crappy. You can get closer if you create your custom kits. The key thing is the ambience and the eq.
No. The key thing is the people at Roland are absolutely blind to the fact that drummers actually want their $5000 edrums to sound like...wait for it...ACTUAL F***ING DRUMS. Not processed, out-dated, mechanical trash.
@@mattdrewdrums i understand your frustration. Actually I've been there myself. Thing is there's no solution else than diy. And if you know what you are doing you can get there. It's pretty flexible
Just think, one day e-drums will have real drum heads and play and sound so good, you won't even need the interface! Just like a real drum set
Exactly, who needs a module when you have superior ones even on your phone or tablet.
Just ordered mine 🫠
I have the version one of this kit. I can not stop playing it. Its so addictive. But a million times better with superior drummer. hate the roland sounds
Yeah looking for an electronic kit, I can't believe how bad even the top models sound. For sure playability of these kits is excellent, but they should really do something about the samples
I’d buy one tomorrow if the sounds were better. I’d want to use it for function gigs where acoustic drums are too much.
It’s a shame it sounds like a toy.
Use samples that studios use with real acoustic drums as plug ins.
I don’t understand why Roland can’t just create a few kits that sound like great studio kits that you’d actually want to use live.
They do have them, check out the Roland Cloud for extra kits or VExpressions Ltd. for packs. I have a TD-50X which is this 27's big brother and you really have to dedicate time to setting up kits/sounds that work with your band's PA. You won't get it out of the box. I have used mine live and paired with dual 18" subs and 15" tops you can really get a huge sound. Good luck!
@@progression_decibel agreed. Many of the kits sound great, and you can add whatever sounds you want. I use both the 50X and 27, and have always found the 27 kits to be more useful “right out of the box” where there’s much more tweaking to be done with the 50… although you certainly get the benefits if you put in the time.
I used to have a Roland kit. I set it up to sound like Pantera's Far Beyond Driven album. Awesome.
the on board sounds are the least important part by far though. Who cares? use a vst. If someone ever comes out with a great module that sounds amazing, i still wont buy it, because i already have a VST, and all that rnd will have been pointless :)
Nice kit. Is there a gong to go with this type of kit?
What, you don't have any brushes at Sweetwater? And does it sound different with different stick weights? I'm not a drummer and I still consider these important enough that their lack here was jarring.
I keep hearing people say, "the module sounds amazing if you spend time editing," yet I have literally never heard any kit from a Roland module sound even close to an organic drum set lol.
90% of the time organic drum sets sound like trash that's why lol. Have you ever seen the amount of compression, mic adjustments, eqing, mic placement, tuning, and bus eq/comp that goes into an acoustic set? Getting acoustic drums to sound good is a skill set in its own right that takes years to master. Much easier to just get SD3 or some other software and skip the pain in the ass tuning acoustics is. You're never going to record or play acoustics raw unless you're playing a coffee shop or grungy bar. And from live shows it's all too apparent that most drummers can't tune their drums to save their lives.
Have in mind, that all electronic drum kits are recording ready. That means the sounds are gated, compressed and optimal miked. When you play your kit, it is the natural sound without mikes and treated as in a recording studio. To understand it better, play your electronic kit to a song you like. Record both together and listen to it afterwards. You recognize now that the electronic kit sounds perfect because all studio work has been done when sampling sounds.
@@MrHabSpass Well it makes way more sense to offer an organic drum sound, so people can modify it in post however they please. Plus, idk what Roland is doing to the samples, but whatever it is, it sounds like garbage. A company like EF Note has the right idea. Their sounds are all very organic sounding. If they could step up the sample quality and round-robbin bs, they'd lead the industry.
@@mattdrewdrums Thanks for feedback. I will check it out.
It sounds like how my dad tunes hims drums, but it sounds outdated
Hey Roland, the 90s called, they said they want their crappy digital tom sounds back.
Why haven't Roland figured out how to make good sounding toms? You can almost forget he's playing a digital kit... Until the toms come in.
Also, plastic is pretty cheap, enough with the small pads. It's long past the time for 20" ride, 14-16" floor tom, and 16-18" bass drum.
I bought generation 1 a year ago. I’m so glad I was able to download the software to 2.0 . Roland is awesome, now if I can only get my SPDSX PRO I’d be super happy. But unfortunately they are all on back order.
Why would you need an SPD SX Pro (for another $1000) when you have a full Roland kit? You can always add pads. Even other brand/cheaper pads work with the Roland module. And you can use whatever samples you want with the module, so what’s the benefit?
Ya me too, I have been coveting one of those for a year. Good for creating loops and sound expansion. It would be especially fun for solo or a drum off scenario.
They should've called it tha AR-15. It's a machine gun! They just can't get the sounds, that every other sampler has. I wouldn't mind getting it to trigger SD3, of course.
Considering this over the Strata Prime as I can get one for less than £100 more. What accessories would people recommended for this?
Is there a slight bit of latency or is it my imagination ?
LOOKS LIKE YOU WERE HAVING A LOT OF FUN!!!! I ENJOYED WATCHING IT!!!! I WANT ONE!!!
Bought a VAD 306, and honestly I regret my buy. I originally intended to get in the new Yamaha kit. Next time I wont compromise.
In which aspect do you regret? Still deciding between this Roland and Efnote 3X...
@@AerisVelivolus honestly the module is not what I expected as far as its interface and mapping. 5 of the kits may be useful sound wise, and my ride (which I’m on my second one) bell never triggers consistently and that’s just the start of it
I bought a TD-27KV six months ago, and the hi hat sucks. I’m totally bummed that I need to spend another grand and do a software update to get the better hi hat now.
Which I high hats do they come with and which ones are you buying to upgrade? I’m glad I saw your comment because I will be seriously upset if I spend this much money on this kit and don’t like the high hats.
@@bigpapa8635 1st gen comes with VH-10 hats, which are the weakest part of the kit by far, and a total disappointment compared to the excellent ride. 2nd gen comes with VH-14D, hats which are the ones described here. If you wanted to upgrade a 1st gen kit, it is about $1,000 to get just the new VH-14D hats, which is nearly 1/3 the cost of the entire kit-plus a software upgrade.
Thank you so much for the quick response. What is your opinion on the VH 12s hi hats? that came with the TD 20? You seem very knowledgeable so I’m just gonna ask you, I have a TD 6V right now from like 2001 that I’m upgrading. I’m torn between buying a new TD 17 or going with a TD 20 for $1500 that’s like brand new and has DW pedals and high hats stand with vH 12 hi hats. I hate to drop $2500 on the TD 27 and not like the high hats. If you were me what route would you go? Used or just buy new and if you were going to buy new what kit would you buy? I do like the thought of having Bluetooth on the newer models. And I do worry about the display going bad for $1500 on a used kit. Thoughts?
@@bigpapa8635 I’ve never used VH-12’s.
I'm torn between a TD 27KV (v.1) and an Efnote 3X and the reason that still keeps me away from choosing the Roland is the VH 10 as you say, because it's digital ride and snare are the best in the e-drum market (or so they say... ). Is this hi-hat really THAT bad? Should I pick the Efnote in your opinion? Thanks a lot, I will appreciate any help because I can't decide properly!
No individual outs?!
Great Drummer !!!
I .d. l .E Drums .
Simmons Drums are real E Drums
issues i have with these kits is the bass drum .Its small moves a lot and doesn't last if you play a lot of DB .They need to a bigger not so expensive larger more stable version. other than that they are great
I have the same kick pad and though it is small, I would prefer a bigger pad, I have no issues with it moving or durability on my side. I’ve pounded double bass into that thing for hours on end and it’s still going.
@@journeyseb i use wood beaters and i had to have it repaired like 3 times i wish they would make an affordable larger kick
Roland I’d the best u want better buy an acoustic drum set
@@Tdrums8 I don’t doubt that you needed to have it repaired but that is simply not my experience with this kick pad or any other kick pad from Roland that I have owned. I’ve owned the, KD-120, KT-10, KD-8, KD-9, KD-10, KD-A22, KD-200 and have never had any issues with them. The only Roland parts that have ever broken down on my end are CY-6 and CY-5 cymbal pads.
I currently have the 507 using the KD-200 as my home kit and a KD-10 on my travelling kit which is a mashup of different parts on a TD-15 module.
@@Tdrums8 I've had 3 roland kicks - KD8, KD10, and the KD140. - The 140 is what your'e looking for if you want professional quality.
still I've never had to repair any of my other KD8/10 kicks, so maybe you need to adjust your pedal and sensitivity? I've got hundreds hours on each and they still work fine.
As for moving around, nothing a 50lb kettle bell can't fix.
That’s definitely a nice kit but I don’t have $3500 to spend on a drum kit unfortunately. As a first time “drummer” and getting my first kit, I’m going with the cheap option of the Simmons Titan 50!
Agreed, this is not a first kit for drummers ...and realistically it just starts at $3500. I bought a TD-27 G1 2 years ago and I have well over $10k invested in it (lots of expansion pads, top of the line hardware and lots of amps) ...and now I need the VH-14's to true up to a G2 (at least I am convinced I need them). Regardless of all that spending, I do believe I made a good choice with the model. The TD-50's started much higher and model 50 & 27 are realistically where ALL the R&D is being dumped in to at Roland this year (or 90% of it).
Get a year or two in to a basic mesh head E-kit ...if drumming sticks to your brain, consider going a little big with model 27 so you don't outgrow it, and/or the supported technologies. I had been looking at Roland kits for a over decade (observing with very little change to the platforms less the highest level). I saw the TD-27 come out. I knew early on that this one was a game changer and pressed the buy button, with very little hesitation. No regrets.
If you were not aware, Guitar Center owns Simmons these days.
Good luck on your journey.
I own a Roland TD-11 and when connected to my DAW, all pads' sounds are recorded to one track only. Can this Roland TD-27KV2 output each pad's sound to a separate track on any DAW as audio or midi files? Thank you.
Hello, Javier! Yes, when connected to a DAW, the TD-27KV2 can send audio and MIDI data via USB. To set up the TD-27KV2 to output individual drum sounds to separate tracks in your DAW, you will need to configure the audio and MIDI routing settings in your DAW.
Thanks for the interest!

It's a shame the VAD506 didn't come with the VH14 Digital HH. For the $$ it would have been a nice inclusion.
Same for me with the TD-27-generation 1. Talk to TJ at Sweetwater, That's all I can say. Buying VH-14's next week when he is back from vacay,
@@mikebeste9408 I'm in Canada so no sweetwater up here. But I do have a guy on the lookout for when they might come in.
What does a setup like that cost, dare I ask.
Hi hat , cymbals , and snare just not up to scratch .
I ❤ my td50x & digital snare 🥁
hello. which one is better roland 4td or that one? thanks
I have a TD 30. Will my current stuff work with the new TD-27KV module? Or am I screwed?
Same crappy Roland drum sounds. If i bought this kit the first thing i would have to do is figure out how to get some external realistic sounds hooked up to the kit. I wish i knew what Rolands problem Is in making a realistic sounding electronic drumset. How long does Roland have to make electronic drums before they can do what should be the obvious..
Once you stop chasing acoustic sound with electric drumsets you'll be open to a whole new world of synth drums that can do what acoustic drums can't do
Do you see any electric guitarists chasing the acoustic tone? No. You don't. Because an electric guitar is good at being electric.
Why don't people understand
Sure, but not everyone is up to a new Approach to drum sounds, we still chasing the sound of excual drums.
I dunno... I have owned a lot of Roland digital drum gear over the years (I still have a TD20BK) and no matter how much "better" it gets, they still sound like electronic drums and not real drums.
You ever try it plugged in into a VST like Superior Drummer?
I agreed. Played on the flagship at church for a while. The sounds were meh at best and trash at worst. Machine gun snares and kicks with unrealistic toms and cymbals that still sound triggery. Even after tweaking all the parameters and running all 16 outputs through processing in our board, it still sounded fake. We all had to play the drums differently to compensate for the sound.
In Roland's case, I think they tend to give the best natural feel and playing rather than improving their sounds, which I'm totally okay with considering we have great VSTs now!
100% agree. The sounds from this unit still sound synthetic and over processed. Roland's V-drums have the best tracking and feel of all the brands, but it's too bad that the sounds their modules produce are so awful. Yes, as someone else pointed out, you could use it to trigger Superior Drummer, but for the prices Roland changes for their e-drum kits ($3,500 in this case) they should sound AMAZING with out the need of anything else. (also, for the record, I own a TD30 kit - I'd upgrade to a newer model if it actually sounded good)
@@jeffb5798 I agree on the pricing. They really should look to a third party to get them better samples. They would be unbeatable then.
is it just me, or does Nick have a total Casey Kasem timbre to his voice in this video?
What's the diff between version 1 and 2. It's not too clear to me. Press clarify thanks
Not a word about VH14D? :D
EVERY Edrum manufacturer had a problem with HiHats, as there was NOTHING close to accoustic HiHat feel.
You just simply couldn't do much of techniques, you could do on accoustic. It was one of a main reasons why people prefered accoustic over Edrums.
Since Roland released TD-50X, and now TD-27KV2, Every other Edrum set is worthless (in comparison) no matter the price.
Roland raised a bar of standart and ofcourse patented it :D
Now i don't see any reason to get accoustic, as edrums with this hihat can do exactly same and even more!
It is time to bring drums to appartament!
ATV have had optical sensor on their hihat for like 4 years? maybe there's more to it, but thats the latency problem solved for half the price
Nick rules 👊
I saw Nick.. I click
Damn didn't know Jon Lovitz could grove like that.
I am watching the bass drum pad wobble the entire time
The Roland kits do sound good, but they need more compression.. a lot more.
Man I wish I had the money to buy a nice Ekit like this
got the Gen1 for like a thousand dollars less at SW this Black Friday :)
I do love seeing the innovation and progression E-kits have made but man I just wouldn't be able to get used to looking over at a 10" and getting a big booming floor tom sound out of it. 😆
You do get used to it. I trigger software that let's me play Ringo and Bonham's old kits and I'm doing it on old 8" mesh pads and once you're playing it with the headphones on the sound overpowers your brain far more than the feel.
I upgraded my floor tom to a 12" 125Bk.
Roland makes great stuff!
Absolutely! The only thing I don’t like are the racks. A lot of plastic.
when are they finally going to have some on board reasonable sounds? Not everybody is a dance or metal drummer. When I want good sounds, I need to add a laptop with superior drummer ... I played the TD 50, tried all the sounds: I remember back in the day my TD6: that one sounded better, I don't get it ...
Yo, Sweetwater! It sounds great, what mics did you use on this kit?
😂
Just a couple of room mics...
Recorded on the phone voice memo app:)
Can you set multiple instruments to the same pad? Ex.) I have a tom sound I like but want the rim to function as a marimba or a splash instead of just having the standard tom rim.
Hello, sheepcolin! You absolutely can do this on the TD27 kit. For those triggers that have multiple zones (for example, snare head and rim or ride cymbal bell and bow), you can assign tones to those zones completely independently. All of this is done within the module itself.
Thanks for the interest!
Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com
What headphones are you using? Thanks
Sounds great but I'm just wondering how much are the kits sounds vs all the eq'ing, etc added after the fact?
Definitely more eq magic going on with an acoustic set. These are pretty much set and forget
own the kit, what you're hearing in this demo is what it sounds like straight out to phones. there's not eq/comp in this that I can tell. Still that's pretty easy to add either onboard or through a mixer/daw if you wanted.
Wow great sounding drums
Why would anyone buy this when supposedly just months away DWe is about to next level the e drum industry. And ironically Roland owns DW drums
That kick tower looks more wobbly than California during an earthquake.
At this point I think Roland trolling us with these sorta sounds in 2023
NOTE: the set up he is showing, specifically the drum frame is NOT how the directions and to a degree the out of the box it’s set up. Check the position for the brain here vs the Roland pdf manual. Why is this a problem? It’s not a deal breaker but you are going to need to really get clever w taking it apart or mod it to look like this. Fantastic kit but I wish I knew this and had a guide to ensure it’s not set up w the brain in the strike zone….between the HH and first Tom.
ROLAND has to do a better job on the appearance factor of their E.D.'s. Why do we have to see the hardware mount in front of each tom? The rack should be redesigned so the drum itself is only showing, just like a traditional kit. When will there be optional patterns & colors available to customize your own look. I hate the wires being exposed to the cymbals and drums. Also, for each 1/4" cord to have to be plugged individually into the back of the module is too tedious. There should be a port they go into so you can pull all out at once. They have to do better, after all, they're the best E.D. out there IMO. I'm not bitching here, it's just time to do some cleanup. I play the TD-20 at gigs constantly and the breakdown setup could be better expedited.
It'd be nice if the kit was "ready to go". No extras needed to make it a complete set up.
I'll take two please.
Or rather one for half the price
Nice product, demo has a little Steve Miller Band vibe to it.
Sounds like my td6
Can you use the Felt on the kd10?
Appreciate the clip... But it's a pity Roland are not investing time into the toms samples. These series in V-Drums are way to plastic sounding and make for a cheap presents. Thunderous, deep, warm, punchy analog replication should ALWAYS be the starting point to the reproduction of converting sounds into digital. Sorry Roland, but you have lost me on these series because you are too busy in post production sculpting plastic sounds and trying to make them analog. 🥱👎
I agree. At this price point, it should sound so much better than this.
Maybe you could record your own?
