[NAMM] New Roland Drum Lessons

The DT-HD1 Drum Tutorial teaches introductory drum patterns and techniques in ways that are fun and easy for any entry-level drummer.

This new software integrates with the Roland HD-1 V-Drums Lite electronic drum kit. The DT-HD1 drum tutorial software bundle includes a USB-MIDI interface and an audio cable, allowing drummers to learn while practicing with the HD-1. Players can learn how to perform basic drum patterns from different genres of music, all the way up to playing full songs with a backing track. Users can load their own favorite song data (SMF) and jam along.

In the Notation Screen, a bouncing ball guides players through the patterns and demonstrates which pads to play and which hands to use when playing a fill. The software also allows drummers to slow or speed up tempos, repeat sections, and select specific pads for playback to help them learn more difficult patterns.

The DT-HD1 drum tutorial software is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista.
