it amazes me how many people don't like the sounds on these kits. Don't get me wrong, they are not perfect. However, the sounds are good enough that I can play along to pretty much anything and it sounds decent.
I agree and I'm amazed at the sounds of the TD27 on the VAD-507 kit which can be as realistic as you want them to be. Take any acoustic set and place it in a variety of environments and it will go from great sounding to crap depending on the room. That's the beauty of edrums, you can make them sound however you want regardless of room acoustics.
Most folks don't configure the trigger settings adequately. By default sensitivity settings are quite low so you have to hit very hard to get this sound. Every one has their own dynamics so it's key to adjust that to make them sound good.
If you hear this kit played through Superior Drummer 3 the difference is night and day, the ONLY reason I have a TD27 is for the digital snare, Ride, Hi-Hat and if I could get positional sensing without it I wouldn't have got the TD27 at all it's not garbage it's just bad sounds.
Hey Mark! Thanks so much for checking out the video. I do think that Roland’s sounds continue to improve with each software update. There are certainly a few kits that caught my ear!
I've mastered the TD 25 I've had for 6 years. It has a couple decent kits. Out of all the sounds on there.. there's not a lot. I really need to buy this module as an upgrade for my kit.
I guarantee all the people who say that the sounds are terrible, wouldn't be able to tell the difference between acoustic or electric in a lineup...lol That's with or without a band playing behind them. Not if you got the levels right, through a decent sound system. Live or otherwise, the sounds in this kit are amazing, and the kit plays/feels better then any ekit to this day minus the TD-50. There's so much to tweek and too much you can do to every sound in this module. You can spend hours on just one snare, tom or cymbal and get it to sound any way you want. Try bringing an acoustic kit to play house music or techno style stuff, or, especially a gig where you need to watch your volume level or you loose the gig if the drums are too loud. Plus you fold them up, stick them in a bag with wheels and it only takes up 1/8th the room of a acoustic set in the car, van or whatever yer riding in. Quicker to set up, and always in tune...lol With that said, of course you can't get all the rim shot variety of sounds and every facet off every ping on the high hats, cymbals... Etc... but hey... This new digital stuff is getting very close !!! There's definitely a place for both, and that's the spice of life !!!! And it's only gonna get better and better !!! Personally, I'd rather be able to play at home and not bug anyone, then never able to play because I bother everyone... Hahahahahahaha And by the way, that was super impressive drumming on every setting !!! That was great !!! Thanks for the video !!!!!! :-)
Hey man! Great thoughts. I tend to agree that when you hear isolated drums it’s not a completely fair assessment. Drums that sound good IN THE MIX sometimes sound whacky on their own. Yeah. I’ve been forced to go the electric route to control volume. Honestly, I have been very pleased with it and haven’t looked back! Thank you for the compliments about my drumming. Very kind of you! 🙏🏻
Your Roland 503 with extra floor Tom is also my exact dream drum kit!!!!! The 1 up 2 down with 16” crash and 18” ride looks freaking amazing add an spd-sx pro and you can play just about anything
@@ChontosDrumLessons thank you for demo of all the new kits. I absolutely love the update for td-17. Roland fantastic job with the new kits and the new EFX in update are great !!!!! I also have a Yamaha DTX6 kit. The dtx pro module sounds are fantastic. I especially love the 3 zone snare pads. The TCS snare pads feel fantastic. Very responsive and great rebound. My ghost notes have never sounded so good. My half time shuffle sounds killer.
What’s an spd-sx pro? I’m still trying to figure out if the TD27 will support the one over two tom configuration as well as ride, snare, HH, and two crashes. Can’t seem to get a straight answer 🤷🏻♂️ I figured out what the spd-sx pro is… 👊🏽
@@tx2jbh81 the TD27 comes with a loom that supports the 3 toms and a single crash, there is also a output at the back for a second crash and the ride/snare are digital (usb) on this kit
Great demo and fantastic playing. Still very recognizable Roland (unnatural) sounding kits. Getting better, but still far from the likes of Efnote or Pearl. The open hi-hat sounds are terrible, in my opinion. I'd still buy Roland e-drums for the build quality and not the samples - which is sad considering the asking prices. I would rather just sit and play the drums without having to use VSTs.
These sounds are 100 x better than my TD11KV - their isn't one decent set of toms - unless you like the sound of acoustic drums with all the over - ring they bring. This has some great dry kits.
Thanks for this. Having just loaded the Version 2.0 update, on 03 Standard and 07 Vivid Reso, loops start playing when I hit the kick pad. Is anyone else getting this? Any suggestions on what might be causing this? I'm sure they're not meant to be there!
@@ChontosDrumLessons they're definitely not meant to be there! I've sort of figured out what's happened, but I don't know why. After I did the factory reset, and then reinstalled my back up (which included several custom kits) I realised that my backup reinstall had overwritten all the new Version 2.0 kits... so I did another factory reset, and when I started going through all the new kits, I noticed the loops on some of the kits and thought it seemed strange. So this morning I've done another factory reset, but this time ticked the "Reset with User Sample" box, and everything seems back to as it should be. It seems that somehow all the samples in my custom kits had got randomly integrated into the new Version 2.0 kits when I reinstalled my backup. I don't know why!
Hey there! Sure. Honestly, I didn’t play very many of the old kits before the update. I mainly played third party drum sets that I installed to the module. However, I will tell you some of my favorites on this new update! I really like: the Deep Studio Kit (1), the Speed Metal kit (9) and the British Rock kit (28??). All the Jazz Session (4) kit is really nice!
Hey there! I’m not sure I understand the question. In this video, I am demonstrating all of the sound options that come with the version 2.0 update. Are you asking Which drum set is my personal favorite?
How tight do you keep your snare pad? I am wondering if something is wrong with mine. Just got it and I get positional sensing from outer edges to the center but yours sounds more dynamic between light and harder hits.
Hey there! Great question. Honestly, my snare is not super tight. I’d say it’s approximately the tension of a medium / medium-low tuning on an acoustic snare.
So I did the update to 2.0 did not backup anything. Just wanted to start fresh. Now my triggers and outputs are all over the place. Drum kits sounds like like garbage metal every time I hit any drum. Any suggestions on that ?
Hey there! Sure thing. Yes. I have the extra floor Tom assigned to the “AUX3” input in the TD27 module. On most of the drum sets, “AUX3” is used as a second floor Tom.
Awesome Jared thank you for replying but may I know in the td27 module do you update to the version 2.0 and which type floor tom sound do you assign it to?
Hey! Ok, here’s the answer: after updating the module, I simply plug the extra floor tom into the AUX3 input. I do not change anything else (except select the correct pad type for the floor tom). I have not assigned any sounds at all to the floor tom. They are just the stock settings!
However, I can look later today and see exactly what instrument is assigned to AUX3. I imagine it’s just a floor tom sample that’s been tuned very low.
Awesome Jared could you help me to check which type of pad is suitable as a second floor tom as well as the tuning like how am I suppose to do the tuning for all the pads as well as the second floor tom
Can anyone give me professional advice on what I need to do or buy to make my Roland TD27kv2 (at home) sound professional and rich. I already had the PM200 and PM100 monitors recommended by Roland, I currently have a Yamaha BRD 12 (active speakers) and my drums still sound very "dry" - like I'm playing on cardboard boxes. What should I do with that? With kind regards.
Hi there! Thanks so much for commenting on the video. Here’s my suggestion: I HIGHLY recommend you check out “The E Drum Workshop.” He makes custom drum kits you can download into your TD27 module. They sound fantastic. I use them almost exclusively.
hello and thank you for the answer, but that's not what I meant (I don't need Drumer 3) I'm looking for SOUND EQUIPMENT - the most suitable for this type of Td 27 kv 2 drums. Can anyone give me some advice professional advice?
There are some slight improvements to the sounds. The BIG difference is there are WAY more pre-made drum kits in this version compared to the first version.
Good question! I think with the proper adjustments, the Roland sounds are awesome! Definitely takes some work and shaping, but it can be done. And the Roland triggering is superior!
I owned a PMP and several Rolands before (atm: TD27 with all the 3 digital pads) and find that the PMP sounds WAY better. But the Roland plays better IMO. Since the TD27 sounds are so terrible, I ended up triggering Superior Drummer. Great feel and sound.
@@ChontosDrumLessons Is another crash cymbal input? My ideal is snare, kick, HH, ride, tom-tom and 2 floor toms and 2 crashes. Is this ALL possible w/ the TD27?!! PLEASE say YES 🙌🏼
I truly do not understand or agree with all the hate Roland gets over the sound of this module. In my opinion, I'm not looking for a non-studio sounding kit like you get with Efnote. Sure, that style of sound is amazing when practicing by yourself, where you want to recreate an un-produced acoustic kit as accurately as possible, but the Efnote sound is NOT amazing when playing in a band through a PA where you want everyone to sound perfectly mixed as though you were in a recording studio. Under that circumstance, I absolutely love the Roland sounds. They cut through the mix better and don't get lost in the mix ever. I'm a producer, guitarist, pianist, and drummer, and I literally love the sound of Roland toms and cymbals over other brands, and within the Roland brand, I specifically prefer the snares and kicks on the TD-27 over the TD-17. (and I only enjoy about 2 of the snare choices on the TD-25) So it really confuses me how frequently people trash talk the Roland sounds on the TD-27 when it's legitimately my favorite out of all their modules. It's most of the quality from their TD-50 without the higher price. Isn't it interesting how one person can deem these sounds "trash" while another one thinks they're pretty great?
Hey man! I don’t disagree with you!! However, I will say, I have been surprised at how good some of these Roland sounds mesh with songs. In a mix with other instruments, the sounds fit pretty well.
@@ChontosDrumLessons It's there but it's only about 30-50% as wide as it should be. Listen to this guy playing a TD-07. I know they aren't panned that way but your ride and far toms are like almost dead center in your recorded audio. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GO__F0C4i94.html
@@ChontosDrumLessons Yes. How are you sending the audio output to your DAW -- USB, headphones or direct outs? If not USB, describe your intermediate interface connections.
Hey man! I totally get what you’re saying, and in general I agree with you. However, you’d be surprised how great some of these kits sound with music. Some of the newest kits in this update really sound nice in the context of a song. But! You’re not wrong. 95% of the time I use third-party drum kits by either Drum Tec or the EDrumWorkshop.
