- Roland's Steve Fisher came to Sweetwater Sound in Fort Wayne, IN to take us on a tour of the amazing TD-30KV V-Drum kit. In this video, he explains the TD-30's incredible SuperNATURAL Drum Behavior Modeling engine, and he demonstrates many of its wonderful preset sounds. Check out the demo and find out more about the TD-30KV kit here: bit.ly/xyYutl
04:48 sold me!
Classic 80,s :)
Wow that beat at 6:14 is unbelievably good
The same kind of people were critical of the automobile over the horse, the electric guitar over the acoustic guitar and digital photography over regular photography. I've combined my acoustic kit with my TD20. It's pretty flippin' awesome.
I played this today in my local music shop. its the most amazing electronic kit i have ever played :D
They should include a min van with the deal so, you can insure it with your auto-policy!
The drum and bass sequence around 6:20 was really cool. Good demo overall.
At this price I would get a 7-piece DW and let the neighbors figure it out...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love this comment how do you feel about this 8 years later
@@LuckySantora What do you mean? Didn't get neither. 😂😂
@@StevieArt Bruh, man actually replied. also lol
Played on one today, bloody beautiful sounds! Going to go for a TD-25KV if I had the choice though, money-wise...
good choice, practically no difference, great module
Yeah, TD 25 KV is a good choice.
Agreed. I just had the privilege to play this kit, and let me tell you, it's the real deal. Super professional in every regard, I would gladly use this as my only drum kit if I could afford it.
7.5K is a fair price for the best instrument/toy in the world. If u have enough money to have this beauty in your home/studio, lucky you! If don't, work hard, save money and buy it!
I had the same problem. When we were starting out, I could only afford one or two pieces at a time. Then, we started making money and I dumped everything I made back into gear. We finally played a huge show where I pocketed $2500 and bought a TD20 on ebay. Now, every time I get paid from a show, I put it all into gear, meaning I make NO money as a musician... but I got a GREAT kit.
Does this guy work for Roland or yamaha?
PS RMC Audio Direct has this kit listed for 5,999 shipped. Just pre-ordered mine. Vids as soon as it comes. ;-)
been waiting almost a decade, when are you going to post that video? lol
@@morejelloplease tbh I forgot. I still have it. It's currently in my basement as I use my acoustic mostly.
@@jrhager84 hell yeah he replied! And you still have it, nice! I just bought a like-new one yesterday.
Fantastic, Roland just keep getting better !
Well, it sounds like a much improved sounding electronic kit. I've played on a friends earier model Roland kit and it sounded more like a cheap drum machine, this sounds a lot more realistic, obviously I would have to play around with it in person, but so far, it seems like it's much improved.
I have an acoustic kit AND a TD20 kit. I've combined the two. Now, we can play straight acoustic ACDC and Skynyrd as well as the effects heavy Leppard and Prodigy. I look forward to getting the new TD30 kit..... just as soon as our garage band signs that million dollar record deal.
I don't have this set but I do have the older TD12 set and I can vouch not only for the flexibility but the durability of Roland equipment. I love what I can do with the sounds and the customization. I can tweak it to play along with any song and sound very close to the original equipment. There's just so much you can do with the sound set and the tuning. Acoustic just doesn't work for me where Iive. The electronic set has been fantastic for my situation and it is very enjoyable to play.
Amazing kit. Amazing drummer.
Wow this is pretty awesome e-kit!
This seems to sound better than the new d-50 kit to me. Will have to check it out a bit more.
They put all that effort in... while snare and cymbals seem to be under control, the tomtoms still sound annoyingly artificial. I own a TD20 expanded, and I only use it as a MIDI converter since I tried ROMplers. ROMplers dont have the ability to change shell depth and stuff, but the sounds are unbeatably realistic. Its the real drums, its the real studio with all possibilties that a studio has. Nothing can beat that.
I love this V-drum !!
Awesome Drum Kit!!!
How modular is this kit for, let's say, adding another cymbal, tom, or even another ride?
I'm used to my friend's double-ride acoustic kit, and it's been bad for me, I guess, LOL.
nice and clean playing!
@Forevertreedude
You can use sample libraries *with* this kit... Why do people not see this?
@Forevertreedude
It's the pads that I enjoy. Being able to take advantage of better sound libraries will be awesome as well (you know that vst drum makers are going to capitalize on the improved pads' response).
I'm ordered up, and should have it in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to unbox it!!! (RUclips videos ensue!)
Roland is doing some amazing things.
Yeah Dennis. Way creeper man.
Way creeper???? WTF? LOL
LOL
Real = Acoustic? That's a new synonym, thanks for evolving the English language on your own.
Its' really a good and powerful drumset!
Who is stlll using it?
Question - Can you plug headphones into these so that only I can hear myself play and not bother anyone else because I am moving into an apartment soon and cant have my acoustic drums for obvious reasons, advice is appreciated
yes you can
Pretty sure thats one of the main reason people want electronic drums!
Could do away with all beep, bloop, timg, whiz drum kits.
Good for you, dude!
I'd like to know Roland earnings after selling THIS specific model. And then I'd like to know their earnings after the top Td9 kit.
5:41 That reverb is addictive.
Love the Jungle beat at 6:20!
This is where Steve Fisher shines... ROLAND!!!
Arcade games jam at 7:50. I remembered the nights I spent playing Street fighter LMAO :)
does this use real drum samples like superior drummer or are thet synthesized drum sounds?
I don't even play drums and I want one of these now!
So you can get 500+ sounds out of your acoustic kit? How much money did you put into it in order to pull that off?
I'm thinking about buying Superior Drummer 2.0 to use with my TD9 kit.
less wires all over, just makes for a cleaner look.
ESO es todo Steve , un saludo
i will get one for sure
I hav dis kit it sounds amazing especially when u play rock band on extra hard
While I own and love a digital drum set, I do find it upsetting to hear people disregarding the traditional acoustic kit as something only older people would want to play. After all, all the greatest drummers use/have used them. Each to their own I guess!
are you able to add more cymbals? for example add on the zildjian electronic cymbals to have more cymbals at once?
Yea
@jrhager84 I do. Though I think paying the Money they want for the built in sounds is insane
It is a great tool and if you use software drum sounds like BFD you will sound as good as any acoustic kit professionallty mic'd in a pro studio
Roland's amazing, and the quality has no peers, but to think this is worth more than a top tier acoustic kit is insane. Digital kits are cool, but until they can bring the price down, these are just silly. An older version, used from ebay, coupled with superior drummer is a better deal. Hell, you could buy a new PC for the kit and still come out ahead of this thing. Roland, I love ya, but you're smoking the crack with these TD kits...sad but true.
Right. Sad but true.
True, but I would say they can defend their prices because of the presets
I agree. Im not impressed with the presets either especially for that price point. Id still be skeptical if it were in a 1,500 price range. If it were about $700 then I'd really be considering it.
@jpf1138
I actually went the pearl eliminator demon drive pedal route... lol
Man I would love to get these. Too bad they're suuuper expensive
can it be used with plugins such as
addictive drums ?
No one sells this anymore :(
@hueseph Totally agreed!
I had a TD12 which I sold because it sounded too synthetic to me and for that reason just didn't motivate me. I wanted a real acoustic sound. I wish I could own a real acoustic set but living in an apt makes that an impossibility. The TD-30 really sounds like they are almost damn there. I think the toms still have a bit of machine sound to them though. Also, you won't pick up on the real differences between real and electronic until you actually spend some time with them.
is the VH-13 physically as loud as the VH-12? one of the problems with the VH-12 is that it's just physically loud when you hit it/when you do foot splashes (when the top and bottom piece come together).
The biggest advantage to the Roland V drums is they give you great control over your sound. It is a lot easier to get consistent sound with the hassles of micing. The only disadvantage is the cost to add more cymbals, it is not really possible to do. But, to have all what you really need and to be able to get amazing studio quality drums live is really what this appeals to. I agree the cost should not be more than automobile. It needs to be accessible to more drummers. Other wise they will cry, just get a real set!
It's gonna take me months of working part time to actually afford this kit.
MSRP $9K but it's not too hard to find it on sale for about $6800.
Compared to some custom/classic guitars and limited production synths, it's comparable.
Would the 25kv be more worth it?
There are four on ebay from $1500-$2000... The new one costs $2100. Changed my mind after looking deeper. Saw it had a USB slot & assumed USB-3 which might control VSTs with less latency than MIDI... It's USB-2.
Awesome!!!!
great technology does not come cheap
This new Roland 30kv kit it's too expensive cause it's the new one..... but what about the vR td-25kv , it costs only $ 2,360 to 2,570 or the -11kv .... just $ 1,570 / maybe 1,359 on sales :) if you want to buy ....Roland is the best of all for me , by the way......, I'm looking to buy some kit perhaps the 25kv ......
I heard that the hi hat stand and kick pedals arent included, is that true?
After that please give us larger diameter drums. 14" shallow shells kinda minimal in stage presence.
wish I could afford one..
I've seen this for not quite $7,500. It is by far the best electronic kit out there which unfortunately puts it out of reach for all but a few.
What's the price tag on this puppy?
looks like they took a td20 and slapped a new pricetag on it
is it load or silent . when without modul !?
How much price of Roland 30KD V drum
I think it would be cool to get these pro drummers all together in a room blindfold them and see if they can hear and point out which is the V-drum and which is a real accoustic drum. Like a taste test.
it would be really really easy
By professionals, I meant vs. casual musicians who won't consider a $7500 kit reasonable unless they can expense it or if they just have cash to burn.
So what if the talented drummers you know can't afford it? Do they really NEED it or do they just WANT it? A talented drummer can use a box + take-out chopsticks and still make music. Better drums won't make you more talented.
Cost isn't the issue. This was never intended to be a "value" purchase!!! Roland is a business, not a charity...
how about some different camera angles so we can see the thing (!)?
Let's do some calculations:
$6,000 v-drum kit
$2,000 of tons of samplers and plugins
$2,000 macbook
$500 focusrite clarett 2pre interface and some midi cables
$10,500 in total...
$10K to get all the sound you want
it actually has a USB direct to DAW on the TD30 so more like 9.5K
Doni Dozh dont think a macbook is a necessity so just drop the price for regular laptop to like $500
That's quite right Doni, but then again, the Pearl Masterworks Heritage Accoustic one is like 9.950 US at my place...
I want Phil Collins Lamb kit.
its on there
Just shut up already and take my money!
Want it.
How much
Does the snare rim respond to cross sticking? Also does the ride cymbal have a bell?
+Shut Up and Drink yes and yes
@drumstick634
Steven Slate 4.0 - 'nuff said.
Sure.
...If you can name even 1 acoustic kit that can provide an equal range of sounds to a TD-30KV while simultaneously being played at full-performance effort as one's baby comfortably sleeps in an adjacent bedroom!
what kind snare did he use at 1:35?
I played them and their bad ass. Only a real pro should attempt
Now, if only they could afford to manufacture, market, and retail them that inexpensively. While companies constantly mark-up the prices of everything, in the end of the day, it still costs money to make things.
Plis drop the price
@jrhager84 Thats fare enough. I would wish they would sell it as a pad set with an empty midi rack, and save me the cost of the module
What is the kit at 6:50?
cool kit but way to much money
David Baca 7.5 thousand euros.
+David Baca Depends on use. Pearl Reference kit, same size - $3k, Zildjian K series cymbals $1k, rack $500, all the studio microphones to get pristine sound - $1500 - you'll be well on your way if you choose top of the line, pro choices. That's only one kit, one set of cymbals, no processors. The niche this Roland gear fills doesn't give as great stage presence (in my opinion), but for someone needing 12 different sounding kits, always plug-in ease to a sound system, no mic'ing up, change kits from rock to jazz during a set - it's comparable and makes sense.
+Peter Šori Good job man :)
Tabor 99 I saw for $6,000! Rip
yess... ..no worth it
sos el unico que responde algo coherente. Like
Still the best module ever created, I have the 1, 17 and 27. None compare at all to the 30, the 1 has the best sounds believe it or not, far better than the 17 or 27.
Edit: the 1 was a later release, it did not fall in line numerically as many who are newbies think.
My students refer to acoustic drums as "grandpa drums"
WHAT'S THE KIT AT 8:30?!
imo, if roland sells this for -let's say- $1500, it could sell a lot more kits, and at the end will get more money than selling it at $8000
these are still bringing $5k used today, ask me how i know :)
How loud/quiet are the pads when playing?
Thanks for the inquiry, Jason. Happy to help. They certainly do make some noise. But being mesh heads, they are fairly quiet. The biggest challenge is usually the vibration of the bass drum and hi-hat pedals. They can transmit through floors quite a bit, but there are some isolation units Roland makes to help that:
