    Hello
    Here I craqu has spent several years I wanted buy a drumkit but the problem "neighbors" to me empch. Then came little by little the idea of ​​purchasing an electronic headset on more emmerd ears ... with the adjacent population. After several tests on Yamaha and Roland I ended up choosing the Roland TD-3KV. First for the budget I m'tais fix. But also for sound quality that I find better than the DTX series from Yamaha.
    I could take the TD-6DX but I found the difference in cost too lev 500 more for possder a module, it is true a lot more performance, but which is serves little. When you have chosen sounds, you rarely change.

    Hello
    Here I craqu has spent several years I wanted buy a drumkit but the problem "neighbors" to me empch.

After several tests on Yamaha and Roland I ended up choosing the Roland TD-3KV. First for the budget I m'tais fix. But also for sound quality that I find better than the DTX series from Yamaha.
    I could take the TD-6DX but I found the difference in cost too lev 500 more for possder a module, it is true a lot more performance, but which is serves little. When you have chosen sounds, you rarely change.
    After a few days of use I do not regret my purchase (let it be said) and frankly I take my foot.
    Its defects:
    Charley: nothing to do with a real hi-hat I can not seem to recall the feeling of a true, the opening of the pedal setting is bizare I can not find the semi openings. The sound is very low when closing the hi-hat. And then the hi-hat cymbals, well it's not it's a cymbal pad, the bounce is different
    The pads are a reduced diameter but it is only a matter of habit, I still sometimes rattling chopsticks.
    His qualities:
    Sounds! sounds! Sounds !, can be its drumkit with the sounds you dessire small onions
    The snare drum pad (dp 85) FABULOUS small but Maouscosto, good bounce, bearings are alone.
    Tom pads are (identical to charley pad !!!!) will have much better rebounding are very correct, even surprising in the bearings.
    The cymbals: rebounds very correct, they do not move like real (this has been bizare) but I am satisfied, only small BMOL there are only 2 sounds. Sound bell when tapped on top is not reproduced.
    The Pad Bass Drum: THE PANARD I put a pedal TAMA, I have found no difference, I even found a much better now true.
    Module: This possde all the sounds I DSIRE. Branch complement in my walkman or my chain it gives me the feeling that I had when I was doing the scene (must close your eyes, I'm still in my little house) and allows me to play with the great last night i was with "LED ZEPPELIN". Its default when your on Channel 32 and you want to return to Channel 2 or 3 must be pressed again backwards many times. A small digital keyboard would was better.
    That is all this has to tell you that I m'clate and I recommend its purchase.

    Hello,

    I have now for one month and a half this electronic drum kit and I'm happy.
    This is a great tool, which allowed me to make rapid progress: Before I had an acoustic drum in my room and I could never play because I live in an apartment and my neighbors was a two fingers to kill me in pain ...

    The sensations of the drumkit are quite well: the mesh pad skin of the snare drum is a success, although it is much smaller than a real snare drum ...
    For the other pad, it's okay to work but it is far from being faithful to one acoustic, while the bass drum pad is fine with me!

    As for the hi-hat, I am very disappointed. The pedal works very poorly and shape of the pad is not very sui…

    Hello,

    For the other pad, it's okay to work but it is far from being faithful to one acoustic, while the bass drum pad is fine with me!

    As for the hi-hat, I am very disappointed. The pedal works very poorly and shape of the pad is not very suitable. To work's enough, but not to work the opening of Charley ... Must be pressed very hard on the pedal for the hi-hat closes.

    Finally, to the sounds of the modules ... it's okay but not great. There is little choice on the toms and they'll not like me. For the snare drum, there are two decent choices but they have defaults: the best snare sound change in a big hit, so he is not used to record since it would spoil the whole piece.
    I had to spend time on beautiful settings in the module, nothing to do: he disappears, the snare is more dynamic in the song.

    The cymbals have a good sound although the choice is fairly limited.

    Finally the sound of the bass drum is not bad, the one I took a punch and comes out well on my demos.

    The value for money seems okay but it's sad that Roland, left all competition, have a policy that forces people to buy their best models. They could have put the best drum sounds, but they are not made to be bought a TD6, see 12 or 20 ...

    I do it again this choice because the drumkit fully met my expectations: I work for 1 to 2 hours a day quietly, replacing a drum machine on my demos.

    in - of course you can play with headphones but the sound flat plastic strip / pad is super unpleasant for our roommates and neighbors (especially the pads and foot slap on the gc) ca is still a drumkit and AC makes noise) but we will not ask too much either

    in + / - MIDI control is not too bad (using a sensor for example) but for this we must have an external device to choose his death (bass drum) it's been live her little effect .. .

    for 1000 we must recognize that it is a hell of investment, the possibilities are enormous if we have a long or little imagination but for that price you can also get a combine acoustic ... the whole is to see what is going to do and reflect on the possible use of electronics (flat live enregistrment .....)

    I think I would take I'm still happy hyper

    Hi all,

    I have a TD3 KV for 3 months and I do not regret my choice. I will give my opinion here for those who are beginners like me and want to buy an electronic drum kit to play in an apartment and move faster than one per week and some practice outside.
    I begin with defects:
    - The charley: this is clear from the moment we have a pad that is not directly connected to the pedal and we did not feel open / close when we play with the pedal, c is not terrible ... I can assure you, the sound is still not too bad and I still have progress and work with charley.
    - Frustration: even if the sounds are good and the behavior at the hits quite well damn, it's not worth the good old drums that…

    Hi all,

    I have a TD3 KV for 3 months and I do not regret my choice. I will give my opinion here for those who are beginners like me and want to buy an electronic drum kit to play in an apartment and move faster than one per week and some practice outside.
    I begin with defects:
    - The charley: this is clear from the moment we have a pad that is not directly connected to the pedal and we did not feel open / close when we play with the pedal, c is not terrible ... I can assure you, the sound is still not too bad and I still have progress and work with charley.
    - Frustration: even if the sounds are good and the behavior at the hits quite well damn, it's not worth the good old drums that vibrate and feel of a real one. Against it by perhaps an advantage came on a acoustic one feels at ease and more confident.
    Assets:
    - Sounds: different, original, realistic ... There's something for everyone and it's worth it.
    - The provision, touching the pad with mesh head snare ... No problem for those who want to improve on that, I guarantee you it's a real drumkit and not a gadget.
    - Silence: little we played through headphones, the neighbors do not understand (the sounds on the pads are small plastic sounds hit very low, the neighbors do not understand even if you hammer to death). I have seen many who spoke of the problem of vibrations in the ground: I have a small thickness of rock wool (it cost 5 Euros per sqm and just slip it under the drumkit, no need to tinker with stuff complicated or spend even more) and the neighbors have never had anything to complain about.

    In short, I strongly advise: A tool like this for such a price is very good!
