Roland TD-1K V-Drums

The TD-1K features 15 ready-to-go drum kits for playing many styles. Unlike typical entry-level sets, the cymbals in the TD-1K incorporate the advanced expressiveness that is a hallmark of all V-Drums. The crash and ride include bow/edge sounds, support for cymbal chokes, and have a natural swinging motion when played. The hi-hat provides organic sound variation from tightly closed to fully open, and users can play heel splashes and other traditional techniques as well.

The TD-1 sound module includes a wealth of built-in functions to encourage learning and enhance practice sessions, including a metronome and Coach Mode. A variety of internal audio songs allow users to enjoy playing along with a complete band. Pad configurations for the TD-1K include a snare, three toms, crash and ride cymbals, and a hi-hat with an accompanying control pedal. The kick pedal’s all-in-one, beater-free design provides far quieter performance in the playing room than a traditional pad/pedal combo, an important benefit when playing at home. Street: $499.
