The TD-50KV from Roland is the new high-end flagship of the V-Drums series. It is an absolutely professional e-drumset with infinite expressiveness and variety. The heart of this kit is the brand-new Roland TD-50 sound module with Prismatic Sound Modeling technology, which flawlessly delivers even the finest details, providing the best drum sound, characterized by lively and powerful signals.
Other highlights are the new Roland PD-140DS Digital Snare in 14" with a sensitive multi-sensor system that allows the drummer to perform any imaginable playing technique with perfect drum sound and great dynamics. The CY-18DR Digital Ride also features Roland's new multi-sensor system, and the newly developed connection protocol between the pads and the module delivers a drumming feel like you have never experienced.
As the first drum module in the world, Roland's TD-50 module is capable of sampling. Loops in the WAV format can be played via the module, tracks can be altered independently and combined with the internal sounds - a professional live and studio drum performance is guaranteed.
Exclusive extra: Music Store customers receive a free Simon Phillips soundpack on SD card with high quality drum samples, recorded by the ex-Toto drummer himself!
With the PD-140DS snare pad and the ride cymbal CY-18DR, Roland introduces two completely new components to the exclusive e-drum range. The 14-inch PD-140DS digital snare pad does not only look like an acoustic snare, it also plays like one. Thanks to the completely renewed multi-sensor system, it allows virtually any kind of playing technique. An extremely sensitive response and the enormous dynamic range give the snare pad an expressive power, which can hardly be distinguished from an acoustic snare drums.
The CY-18DR ride pad comes with similar quality, because the 18" cymbal pad offers high-resolution sound triggering of previously unknown quality. The pad can be played over the entire surface from the top to the edge and reacts with the corresponding sounds.
Via SD card, the TD-50 module can send up to four separate sample tracks and then integrate them into your own playing, mixing them with the internal sounds. No additional sample pads, etc., are necessary and the entire band benefits from the Roland sound module. Via USB you can connect the module to a PC or MAC to control DAWs and make professional recordings. For concerts and live shows, there are eight balanced direct outputs which can be individually adjusted in volume and also be assigned with 3-band EQ and several effects.
Many drummers prefer a regular bass drum for optical reasons and because of the playing feel. The TD-50 module, combined with the KD-A22 Kick Drum Converter from Roland, transforms every 22" bass drum into a kick pad with an amazing feeling. Make your acoustic bass drum a part of your Roland V-Drums setup.
As an exclusive extra for Music Store customers, the TD-50 sound module comes with an extra sound pack on SD card with high quality drum samples, created and recorded by ex-Toto drummer Simon Phillips himself. The high-resolution samples offer tremendous dynamics and are not to be surpassed in sound quality and expressive power. With these features, the Simon Phillips samples are a great addition to the module's internal sounds, enriching the TD-50's sound offerings. In addition to the two Simon Phillips drum kits you will find two more kits on the SD card. This is a synth kit and a kit with drums from the 80s. There are also three songs on the SD card, which demonstrate the kits with original MIDI triggers from Simon Phillips.
The fifth drum kit on the included SD card is an exclusive sound package by Marco Minnemann, a German drummer, who now works as a musician in Los Angeles. Back in Europe Marco Minnemann played with Paul Gilbert, Udo Lindenberg, Paddy Kelly, Terry Bozzio, Chad Wackerman, Wolfgang Schmid, Kreator, Mike Keneally and Nena. In the USA, bands such as "The Aristocrats", tours with Steve Wilson and Joe Satriani, or the project "The Mute Gods" by Nick Beggs, the bass player and singer of the group "Kajagoogoo" followed.
