I bought the full TD-6V.
Very good quality for the price!
However, there are a couple of snags:
- Not many crashes. And the variations are very limited. You hit...or you don't hit. It's hard to get good nuances.
- The module is to tear your hair out.. It would've been nice to have a wheel or numeric pad to be able to enter directly the kit or music you want...because it's really slow. It takes way too much time!! Another headache is when I fiddle with the songs. Say I pick Song 4. If i get the wrong kit and tap a pad to trigger a sample, the Song stops to go to Sample 110...and then you need to go back hammering the button to start the song right from the beginning. It's not well thought-out.
- The reduced number of customizable kits: One.. Actually, every kit can be customized but then you lose the original one (although you can always go back to the factory settings). You only have kit 99 available as a "User Kit." That's not very nice.
Other than that, I have a ball. I have it connected to a PM-10 (which is perfect for an apartment). Many kit sounds are useless, but that's always the same for all modules. But all others are quite satisfying. Be it for rock, metal, Jazz or techno, you can surely find what you want: The snares sound pretty real (I started out playing acoustic drums) and the kick drums have a lot of presence.
