Best value:
Correct
I use this drumkit intensively for more than 6 months and so far nothing wrong, it's really good quality (despite a somewhat 'cheap' to 1 first)
Before buying it, I played on an acoustic (first), and on and TD-9 TD-20 (good for sure, this is not comparable)
I also compared with the TD-4 and DTXplorer.
My choice fell on the HD-1 for two main reasons:
- First is the only drumkit silent, with which we have no trouble with its neighbors
- A Roland electronic drum level and they are the best
The strengths of the HD-1:
- QUIET! through a system of pedals mounted on rubber feet, and especially without bats, that's the only drumkit that can truly boast of being silent
- Compact: the size when folded is ridiculous! and above the rack does not really place
- The sensations are pleasant, especially with regard to the snare and cymbals
- MIDI output, which allows the shot to make the HD-1 scalable, because everything is wired internally to finish on a DB-25, and especially the kick and the HH use a different protocol other Roland batteries, so the output MIDI is the only way to connect another module on the HD-1
- Solid drumkit, you can type like a nag, we are not afraid to break a pad
- Super easy to use, you turn, you play
- 5 levels of sensitivity to play louder or softer
Negative points:
- The arms a little short, would have deserved a few cm above
- Feel the pedals not necessarily ideal, but that's what makes it is silent
- The module is too limited, especially as regards the metronome unusable. There are not many kits available (10), but it is quite sufficient to train, and otherwise just pass by the south to change sounds
- A standard wiring would have been ideal to change the HD-1
- All pads are simple versions trigger, suddenly no rim shot, no nuances in the cymbals, or choking or other
I find the correct value for money, 100 euros less than nine would be perfect, but quality has a price.
With experience, I do it again this choice without hesitation. It's really the ideal flat drumkit. And when you feel limited, simply plug in another module, now I have a TD-8 above and it works really well (and 2 modules communicate perfectly noon, you can even change kits TD-8 from the buttons on the HD-1)
