Absolutely STUNNING drumkit!! Geez, I need to get my hands on one of these someday! I mean, I'm still impressed by just the TD-9! Roland makes the absolute best percussion stuff.
Now is the time to go find this kit. With the new TD-50KV out now you can find the 30KV in an affordable range. Many shops want to get the demos of the floor too. The 30KV is amazing and well worth the money!
I bought a TD 20 and the damn thing is pretty amazing. Trouble is, after spending $5000 in the kit and module, I didn't have speakers worthy of it. That cost another $2500. And even after spending all that money, I prefer my acoustic kit.
No... I'm sorry to inform you. You do NOT need $2500 speakers to pull any decent level of potential out of a TD-20, which, just as this kit does, uses computer algorithms to express digital sounds. A snake-oil salesman lied to you if you think you need $2500 to blast single-source emulated acoustic audio from a mid-range drum module. Hopefully you are talking about additional audio equipment for other uses.
Oh god, corporate people like this guy make my skin crawl... lol... So condescending and full of it lol.... It's like listening to a used car salesman. Trying very hard to be charming and just coming off as a douchebag. lol But the drums do sound great.
Thanks - I know. I was using slang "dial up" offhandedly to mean actual physical size... more stage presence of seeing larger drums. The small pads don't have much presence. Sorry about the confusion.
Nice bit of kit played this a while ago so natural stunning sounds, if people like mr N Peart use it it's gotta be good simple as that enough of the amature negative comments
Im stil undecided how much this behavior modelling really matters... when it comes right down to it... when I trigger my BFD samples which are unbelievably realistic... I dont seem to miss the complex behavioral modeling.
Sam Robinson So one of these kits costs $20-30,000? Unless it’s a used car with 200,000+ miles on it and fading paint and banged up. I’m thinking in the $5-6,000 range. A little disciplined saving or a few thousand down and finance the rest with a reasonable payment for a few years. I’ve saved for one but don’t know which one I want yet. Don’t want more than I can handle or need. Happy drumming!!
Not sure if your still on here but am curious if you can help me with the direct outs? Similar to my strike pro, when using direct out, seems all effects, eq, ambience and compression are gone, just the dry signal. I know most sound engineers in the clubs I play at don't have the time or interest in dialing these sounds in so feel like I need to send the LR to the FOH. Is this correct and is there a work around? In my experience, some of the ambience and compression cant be reproduced in a club mixing board? Figured, I could always send the LR of the full mix too and they could add some kick snare or toms etc but not pull sounds out?
Supernatural drums are in the FA keyboards, among a thousand other sounds: £700 Supernatural drums in a v-kit: £5000 Honest question, What gives? is a metal frame and pads that expensive to make?
I bought a roland td 25kv and I went from an acoustic to electric. When I had my Acoustic kit, I hat 2 hi hats (my main one, and a permanently closed one that i could play while rocking the double bass) So i bought a second hi hat for my roland kit, but I cant have the second hit hat closed pertinently. It mimics the main hi hat. I asked Roland directly and they told me I cant have 2 hi hats with 1 closed and the other open, (i also asked them the same question im asking you, but no reply) Can I have a second closed hi hat with the roland 30 and or the roland 50? or do you know if i can use the TM-2 to fix my problem? If you know please respond. Thanks
this guy is ...great drummer...great salesman.. just wish his selling technique was a little less forward and traditional. I'm sure the company loves this dude!
YES! this kit awesome but for 6 grand you could buy a brilliant Acoustic kit with top of the range cymbals... AND an SPD-SX for your triggering delight!
and for 4k more, you could have an infinite number of kits that you can create any time you want right at your fingertips, I know personally I'll never need another drumkit as long as I live, simply because I can get any sound I want on a whim.
Greetings! Maybe I'm wrong, but with the original settings in the module (td30) my pad pdx 100 sounds much poorer than when I expose him for setting pd125. Also, with the toms and the bass drum. Little marketing tricks. Roland Bravo!
the most natural in this set is the cost of 3.500-4.000euro's to buy it and naturally one set in this price must respect the customer and put the best results in to it!!!
Menashe300 True that. I spent about $5000 on a TD 20 kit and I still didn't have an amp. I had to spend another $2500 on a mixer, amp and speakers to drive it.
i use one of these for home practice www.ebay.com/itm/Technics-EH-750-HiFi-Stereo-Tuner-Amplifier-Sound-Processor-5-CD-Tape-Deck-/171828358753?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2801c4ae61
Superior Drummer 2 sounds a lot better than the on-board Roland sounds still. The snare sounds very artificial. The chokes on the cymbals sound a bit off too. The toms usually sound okay. I'd still love to own one of these for the hardware, but I'd use Superior Drummer for the sound library.
This sounds really great and has a lot of needed features. The only problem I see is that I could set up a real drumset, install a booth, and get decent mics set up, and get real drum sound, with infinite sound options, for less money.
***** Because you're not limited to whatever samples someone else made. you could get a snare sound that just sounds like slapping a wet piece of paper if you wanted, but with samples you'd have to compromise and make something else sound like a wet piece of paper. Then you'd have to get the rights.
love them but for the price, id rather get an SJC kit custom built or a DW kit. I do not believe anyone will ever make an electric kit that gives the same sound or feel as an acoustic kit will, NEVER.
modules suck shit... it's all about laptop + alesis I/O trigger module + presonus firebox + your E kit or E heads on acoustic kit, or just to your triggers on an acoustic kit to get some amazing live triggered sounds if you are into that shit... metal drummers use it for dual kicks a lot for live shows
Scott Murphy - They’re best for home recording, practice, apartments, churches, small stage venues. Some people would never get to play without a silent option.
Roland drums are great but you're right. You gotta sell a body part to afford these damn things. Which is funny, when you think about it. You could build your own electronic kit for under $1,000.
