We must not forget that a drummer must be able to maintain a tempo before knowing how to play complicated rhythmic figures. But working on the basics can still be exciting, because they provide a solid foundation for the rest of the skills to be learned. And let’s not forget that measuring your progress is also very motivating. The TD-17 module includes a Coach mode to help you work daily. You can warm up, develop your sense of groove, tempo and placement, and even work on your regularity, all while obtaining a score that tells you the degree of success of the exercises done.
Authentic gaming sensations, tools to improve
An acoustic drummer should not need to change their playing technique to use an electronic kit. You can use the same playing techniques as on an acoustic drum, without compromise, thanks to a 12-inch diameter snare pad • and a hi-hat pad with natural reactions**, which can even be mounted on a hi-hat stand standard. And thanks to the technology inherited from our high-end TD-50 module, the sounds you trigger faithfully reproduce the characteristics of acoustic sounds, with an identical response speed.
• PDX-12 12-inch snare pad only included in TD-17KV and TD-17KVX kits
*• VH-10 hi-hat only included in TD-17KVX kit
Join your favorite group, without auditioning
Playing an endless drum solo is really fun, but it won't make you a good drummer. However, you can improve greatly by playing with your favorite bands, or by rehearsing the songs you will soon be playing on stage. You can listen to songs broadcast wirelessly from your smartphone using headphones from the TD-17 module. You can even record your playing and listen to it again, to decide what areas need improvement.
*TD-17K-L is not compatible with Bluetooth.
Prepare to perform on stage
When rehearsing, it is important to play with the same sounds that you will use on stage. The TD-17 incorporates a wide selection of modeled and expressive drum sounds inherited from our high-end TD-50 module. This way you can be sure to find the perfect drum sound to prepare for the concert.
Learn at your own pace with online courses and desktop apps
In addition to studying with a drum teacher, you can benefit from many online courses or computer-based learning methods. The TD-17 is designed to help you improve, however you learn.
Pressure-free performance for years to come
Roland V-Drums are reliable, from the sound module to the pads to the pedals. Each component is designed to satisfy you in all circumstances, whatever your playing style. The pads and pedals of the TD-17 range are built to last while remaining playable. As you progress on the instrument, you can upgrade your TD-17 setup by adding a crash cymbal or a second snare drum, while being assured of using equipment used by many professional drummers.
