My drumkit is not the Roland TD-6KV original because it has been modified by me. I started on drums for several months having always preferred the guitar for several years now. However, this document will provide personal kit I hope some ideas to improve and upgrade kits exist at lower costs.
First, I went to an offer proposed by the now famous German site Thomann, namely the model MILLENNIUM PRO MESH HEAD / TD-6 SET € to 1333 with a 3 year warranty.
It is initially composed of the following on a TD-6KV:
-1 Roland TD6 Module
-1 Rack Dixon
-3 Drums Millennium 10''
-1 Drums Millennium 12''(including 1 snare and 2 floor toms bass)
-2 CY-8 (Crash / Ride)
-1 KD-8 kick drum
This version is an excellent deal in terms of price compared to full models Roland with rubber pads (also very good but without the bounce and feel of a real skin mesh) because it is a good springboard to more elaborate arrangements for those who can not afford the kits ultimate TD-20 (sigh ...).
My upgraded version is now installed with the following (photos available on my avatar):
Roland TD6-1module
1rack-Dixon
-3 Drums Millennium 10''
-3 Drums Millennium 12''(including 1 snare and 2 floor toms bass)
-2 CY-8 (Crash)
-1 CY-5 (Splash / China)
-1 CY-15 (Ride)
Roland TMC-1module-6
1double-pedal double chain Gibraltar 9611
Gibraltar-1siège 9608
Charley-1pied Gibraltar 9607
Gibraltar Snare 1pied-9606
1pied-wrinkle Gibraltar 9609
-1 KD-8 kick drum
The primary advantage of this kit is the aesthetic was really like working on a real acoustic kit drums through 12''and 10''Me too shallow. Gridded skins are good qualities and we can easily change models with V-Drum Roland brand. Everything is adjustable on those drums like real (voltage skins).
A module that has proved itself: the Roland TD6. Lots of choices even when using only 3 or 4 kits futures on the 100 offered. Everything is configurable to infinity and especially envy.
On the hi-hat, it is the Roland VH-11 model that we put on an equal standard charley: I chose a model for its 9607 Gibraltar multiple shooting settings, the quality and reputation of the manufacturer . With this hi-hat, it really feels to play a "real". The feeling is there and the action of a pedal is true for many. Certainly, the nuances are not possible because the module should be replaced by a model TD-12 or ideally the TD-20 (but not for all budgets ... pity) but there is something to take his foot (this is the case to say ...).
All models are cymbals Roland (2 CY-8 crash in home, 1 CY-5 in Splash / China CY-15 and 1 in wrinkle added to the original kit). They are relatively strong and does not appear to suffer the blows of their sticks I Assen. I hope this rubber milled aged well and does not use too much because these are the components that are the most expensive on this kit. The sensations are very good especially with the CY-15 which is closest in size of acoustic cymbals. All effects are recognized (choking, punching intensity, motion, ...).
The rack mount is a trademark Dixon and comes with the clamps needed. I have expanded with the addition of an aluminum bar of the same brand and Roland MDH-10 clamps to mount toms Thomann 2 new 12''to act as a bass toms (even congas on configurations different from my sound module).
Finally, the addition of the module Roland TMC-6 trigger inputs for its further required to set up home made kit. Clarification on the CY-15, it works beautifully in 3 areas with the TMC-6 (configuration bell / edge / top) according to the manual provided some settings and easy to perform.
I will complete this review as and when my musical experiments in this kit.
