The Roland TD-4kx2s is a set I used several times because I didn't want to take care of a real drum set and it was also more transportable and I could plug it in to my recording equipment. I use this drum set almost every day and it is amazing. Unless your not willing to read a thin set up manual and put it together this takes no time to get set...
Roland is touting this as a beginner's set and on that level it completely succeeds. I've been drumming for 20 plus years and I wish I had started on something like this. Even the tom pads feel just fine and have very good sensitivity. The lack of individual outs is going to stop some players from using this in a live situa...
I have the older version which comes with: - TD-10 Sound Module - (3) PD-120s (snare & 2 floor toms) - (2) PD-100s (2 rack toms) - (3) PD-9s (cymbals) - (1) PD-7 (hi-hat) - (1) KD-7 (single kick drum) - (1) FD-7 (hi-hat pedal) The TD-10 module features: - Easy to use via ...
The Roland SPD-S is an electronic drum pad that's made for triggering samples. It's designed to be placed within the context of your drum kit so you can have access to electronic drum sounds on the spot. I don't own this and I'm not primarily a drummer so I don't plan on owning it in the future, but I recently did a recording session where the...
(Originally written by drumnono/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've been using it for one week. Cons first: No cymbal edge sound. All toms have only three volume levels. Almost no beater rebound. Average sound. It has a metronome but the control has n...
(Originally written by twit/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I haven't given up my acoustic drum kit but I did yield to the convenience of the TD9 three months ago. I've used it for several live gigs in locations where the volume had to stay low or when my back couldn't stand carrying heavy gear. I used it for a live...
(Originally written by achka/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I replaced my DTXPLORER with a TD9KX 2 weeks ago. With headphones: super sound and very comfortable pads. With a P.A. system: great punch, kick and toms with a full sound... In short, I'm ecstatic (except maybe for the metronome which started up on its own during two song...
This is a great drum kit for the standard electric users. I've had my kit for 3 years now and it still works good. I've have not had to replace anything on the set at all. I wish the stand that everything connects to was taller. The pads could be bigger. It could have more realistic hi-hat control with pedal and one more extra tom input. There i...
A PDX-8, and smaller (the pad is 8 inches with his strapping, and the drum head 6 inches). Dual zone. Used very little time (temporary need to add some electronic elements to an acoustic kit), I chose this model for its small size which is + optimized thanks to onboard sensors (which allows two sounds to the same pad), and the ski...
How long have you use it? About 1 year. Especially for the live electro. So I could not say whether the SPD-30 complements a true drumkit ... Finally, I think from a formation with only machines and other electronic instruments signed Roland and Korg. Have you tried many other models before b...
