All user reviews of 4/5 for the Roland TD-9K

I have this model for over 4 years now, and I must say that this is really what I needed model here:

General:
- Palette of its more than correct (with tone controls for each sound)
- Possibility to expand the base set (I added a wrinkle CY 12R / C, and there is still an entry free)
- Ability to choke cymbals after the strike.
- Possibility to use a double pedal
- Easy grip module
- Easy navigation through menus and implementation of various functions
- Possibility to create 50 possible sets (100 with the latest firmware update)
- Adjusting the sensitivity of different sensitivities triggers
- Adjusting the mix of all instruments
- Setting the surround effect

To work over pieces USB key is very convenient (mp3 only supported with the updated firmware ...)
Monitoring tools are less convenient because readability is not terrible. But it can always help.

Gameplay:
Regarding the gameplay, so do not expect to find the feel of an acoustic drum. Even if a mesh snare skin was not quite the same and made the same accuracy as a real skin. That said the response varies in intensity with the strike force. It is possible to play while sensitivity. The demo video Johnny Rabb convince you.
on the other hand, whatever tom, the sound remains the same regardless of the location of the strike pad or skin. This is an advantage for some and disadvantage others. More with electronic drums, whatever the type, the sound is good. Ironing on an acoustic, you must rework the shot before it sounds ... !

And ultimate happiness: you can spend several hours again without getting tired ears. The volume remains under control!

To conclude, this drumkit is very versatile in its range of instruments and sounds on offer, and all available settings.
It can be used for both work from home (small size) in a group.
After that remains a drum. The dynamic response lacks a bit of realism, and the effects of the shot ood selected for each pad sounds.

With experience, I would do without this choice problem. This range of Roland perfectly meets my atentes. But I would love to test the successor module TD-9, TD-15. A priori the game feel has been improved, and the metronome click can finally be sent to the headphones only instead of being hopelessly mixed with the stereo output.
