I bought the TD12 2 months ago. I am really pleased especially as most of the basic adjustments had been made by Tommy Snyder at a show.
With an acoustic kit also quite large and inevitably noisy, I could not install it in my apartment: the problem was solved by the TD12. I find the pads low noise except the GC but I do not think there is enough to disturb the next door neighbor ... The module is very comprehensive and I am far from having exploited all. The factory sounds are not representative of what can the TD12: you get really close to the sounds of acoustic but it takes time.
I play a lot of CDs to train and what is it that you can connect a CD player directly to the module and adjust the volume independently of the pads.
On pads, it's good stuff, solid at first glance (the time will tell). The cymbals are working well but the dome of the ride you still have to hit hard enough, it lacks nuance. The hi-hat, once properly adjusted, is pretty amazing.
You get used to quickly meshed skin but at first I found I was getting tired faster than on normal skin.
Regarding the quality / price ratio, I think it's still expensive compared, not the quality of the elements, but in relation to their size: I think for 3000 euros, Roland could have put the pads 10 "for toms and 12 "snare and a cymbal 15" for toms, but you get used to the snare drum is really fair and the ride is hard to play jazz in particular. What is bad for the snare is that the pad 10 "does not allow my mind to get the most out of different areas of typing.
Finally, to get a kit where you feel really comfortable, we add a lot of money: 3000 Euro base (rack edrum + + module) / Pad 12 "(350 euros) / Cymbal 15" (250 euros) + pole Roland (70 euros) / amp (600 euros) = 4270 euros
In conclusion, the TD12 is a beautiful instrument but which is very expensive and that is for certain privileged that I am one.
Despite the price, I do it again this election ...
