As a professional drummer, you know that drums that don't sound or respond perfectly will hinder your creativity. Introducing the Roland TD-50K, the flagship of our famous V-Drums range, created to provide the best possible performance on stage, in rehearsal and in the studio, whatever the musical style required. Built on the foundations laid by the new TD-50 module and its Prismatic Sound Modeling, this electronic kit produces the most comprehensive and impressive Roland sounds to date. Its advanced processor is complemented by new snare and ride cymbal pads, featuring multi-element sensor systems communicating high-speed digitally with the module. The kit also offers high-end tom pads, crash cymbals and hi-hats, connected to a module which allows numerous sound modification options and has versatile connections. By offering total playability and unparalleled expressiveness, the TD-50KVX constitutes, to date, the most impressive V-Drums kit for the stage.
Prismatic sound modeling to bring your game to life
The best drummers need the best equipment. At the heart of the TD-50K is the TD-50, an all-new powerful sound module featuring original Prismatic Sound Modeling technology, ensuring that every detail and nuance in your playing will be faithfully detected and reproduced. Paired with the TD-50K's pads and cymbals, the TD-50's high-resolution sound processing provides you with the most authentic, resonant, and expressive sounds you'll hear on an electronic kit.
Customize your sounds for gigs and studio
Playing in a wide variety of styles is no problem for the TD-50 module, which offers a choice of on-board kits capable of meeting all demands. This new advanced module also offers detailed editing of its sounds, such as the choice of skins and drums, the superposition of samples integrated or developed by the user, the adjustment of overhead and ambient microphones. For even more control, the compressor and three-band EQ can be adjusted individually for each pad, while three independent multi-effect sections give you the choice of treating specific drum elements with any of 30 drum types. effect: delay, flanger, saturator... The two-band multi-compressor and four-band equalizer allow you to adjust the balance and output volume, depending on whether you are in the studio or on stage. And the new Snapshot feature provides a quick way to evaluate and compare your changes before making them permanent.
Play like an acoustic snare drum with the 14-inch PD-140DS
The TD-50 sound module is paired with the PD-140DS digital snare drum, which takes your snare drum playing to new heights of expressiveness. An all-new three-layer Mesh head is installed on a classic 14-inch barrel size to provide authentic bounce and feel, and feels immediately comfortable on it. And today, thanks to the all-new multi-element detection system technology, your shots are even more finely detected according to their position on the skin, and your playing dynamics transcribed with even more detail. Rim-shots and Cross-sticks are automatically detected as the pad “senses” your hand and responds accordingly, producing a natural, detailed sound full of character.
Apply your advanced cymbal techniques with the new Ride CY-18DR
The Ride Cymbal is one of the most expressive elements of a kit. So we at Roland have developed this new CY-18DR that adapts to your playing style. With a familiar size of 18 inches and a natural rocking movement when played, this new digital cymbal fits happily to your kit. The high-resolution multi-sensor detection system embedded in this cymbal pad continuously detects every hit, from bell to edge, working in conjunction with the TD-50 module to deliver dynamics and response never before heard on a cymbal pad . Challenge the CY-18DR cymbal by applying your legato techniques, or delicate strokes on the bell, and listen to the results. You can even muffle the sound by pressing your finger on the cymbal!
Play with your own WAV files and easily record in your Home Studio
As a creative drummer, you'll appreciate the TD-50's open connectivity that lets your inspiration flow without restraint. With the SD memory card slot, it's easy to trigger WAV format audio files from anywhere on the TD-50K. You can loop or layer your WAV sounds with internal sounds, while controlling their characteristics and volume from the TD-50's front panel. When you like your groove, simply connect the TD-50 module to a Mac or PC via USB for multi-track recording on a computer. Up to ten tracks can be recorded simultaneously, then easily edited to adjust timbre and color, with the choice of sample rate: 48, 96 or 44.1 kHz.
Be more effective on stage with the direct connection to the PA and the eight Direct Out outputs
If you perform on stage every night, the TD-50K will help you save time and effort on setup. The TD-50 is the first V-Drums module to feature a balanced stereo XLR Master output, plus eight Direct Out jack outputs, sending a balanced signal directly to a PA system. Assigning a pad to one of the individual direct outputs is very simple, while the Master and Phones volume controllers and group faders instantly adjust the output volume of each pad. You can even send the signal into the headphone output to control the level of your monitors without affecting the sound sent to the console.
Training exercises to develop your technique
The TD-50K is the choice for professional drummers, and it allows them to improve, too. This new kit not only highlights your technique, it helps you work on it with training exercises that will allow you to get the most out of your instrument practice sessions. Whether you want to improve your timing with the built-in metronome's Quiet Count feature, or import and play along to playbacks stored on an SD card, it's easy to stay inspired, even when you're working alone.
