In this opinion, I will not be a technicality on the TD-6KV as many before me have already described with precision and clarity.

Overall, everyone agrees that the price / quality ratio is good for the TD 6KV, I think Roland is a leader in their product range in the market for electronic batteries now (waiting for the offensive against other firms ).

Personally, I bought ECTT drumkit for the following reasons:
I began the practice of the drumkit 10 years ago about a sound at home in my room-mates attic rehearsal with the titanic amps and soon the neighbors were freaked out (police + noise = fine day)

I then opted for an electronic drum kit because no opportunity to develop a cave ...
I did a tour of a famous magazine drumkit monopoly Panam and tried all the electronics and batteries only one caught my attention: TD 6KV I found the sound pleasant to the headphone (the was trying to adopt) to € 1,450 (an investment anyway) with a lot of thought, I decided to buy it in September 2005

After a year of use, here is the criticism I can make:

I must say that I have gained experience and technology with the ability to work a lot of pattern in the headphones without disturbing my new neighbors (since I moved)

About the module, I must say that I find very uninteresting and unusable KITS (I have to use max 5) and I set myself a kit with the sounds that I found the most realistic drum sounds and cymbal ( crash, china, ride, splash) are well represented. Snare can do better, and toms and hi-hat sounds to be reviewed.
The headphone, the whole is more than adequate.
I then used this drumkit in rehearsal group by connecting the module with mixer, computer and using the speakers of my hi-fi.
(I could invest in the SYSTEM AUDIO ROLAND PM-3 to € 869 too much for my taste).
I must say that the sounds are completely different in the headphones and speakers, and I had to find a new kit to get an acceptable sound and workable (and audible with other instrumentals).

About the physical part of the drumkit, Ulises de la meshed skin is nice and a little closer at the touch of an acoustic drum. However, the rubber pads is not recommended because it distorts our learning when we go back then on an acoustic drum. On an electronic drum kit, we spend less, the bounces are different, the pads are very tight, and you hit less hard.
Quan, we go back on a drumkit Acoustik, what a surprise! It is no longer the same game at all (eg, typing month high on the toms, it easily catches cramps, etc.)
In conclusion, I recommend a beginner to make their learning solely on a drumkit or Electronik then complement with acoustic drums!

Otherwise, I find the bass drum pad is very noisy, it resonates in the floor (there is room for improvement the above). The rubber around in my snare mesh skin is cracked across (a weakness).

I use the CLICK systematically repeated in just taking the module and the headphone, when I play on a drumkit Acoustik, very useful!

Now my next goal is to utlise some elements of the TD6KV by integrating it with my acoustic drums. Do you have tips for me?
Soon
