Product description

• TD-1KV Overview

15 Drum Kits
• An acoustic drum kit needs to be set up to play a specific style of music, so you're stuck with one type of sound. But that's not the case with the TD-1KV. It includes 15 drum kits on board, so you can play any kind of music you want at the touch of a button, from rock and blues to jazz, world music, EDM, and beyond. At one practice session, you can rock hard with a heavy bottom-end sound, then instantly change kits to recreate the sound of your favorite band. Every kit reacts like the acoustic and electronic kits they emulate, giving you a range of variety in one standalone instrument

Responsive Pads and Cymbals
• Some drummers avoid electronic drums, worried they won't play like their acoustic counterparts. There's no need for concern with the Roland TD-1KV as it fully supports essential acoustic playing techniques, which is especially important for beginners to learn to play correctly. Every drum sound offers a wide dynamic range and natural tone, and the PDX-8 mesh-head snare provides an authentic feel with independent head and rim triggering. Unlike typical entry-level sets, the TD-1KV's cymbals include the expressiveness found in all TD-series V-Drums modules, including bow and edge sounds and support for cymbal chokes. The hi-hat reacts to the nuances of your footwork, bringing personality and character to your playing

On-Board Training Functions
• Built right into the TD-1KV is a number of functions to encourage learning, no matter whether you're teaching yourself to play, studying regularly with an instructor, or simply want to keep your skills polished. Think of this kit as your own live-in drum teacher and personal backing band, packed with tutorial features that develop technique, boost motivation, and help you get the most out of practice time. Play along with the on-board metronome to tighten your timing, and use Coach mode to build and maintain speed, stamina, and accuracy. Get ready for your first band by jamming with the internal songs in the sound module, or connect a smartphone or music player via the Mix In jack and drum along with your favorite tunes. With the on-board recording function, you'll get instant feedback of your progress as well as quickly capture and playback a new fill or creative groove

Beater-Free Kick Drum
• Traditional acoustic drums are extremely loud. Playing them at home is fun for you, but can be a problem for everyone else around! Quieter operation is a major benefit of electronic drums, and the Roland TD-1KV is particularly quiet where it counts, thanks to the sound module's headphone jack and the noise-reducing design of the mesh-head PDX-8 snare and the tom/cymbal pads. While many electronic drum kits annoy the neighbors as the beater strikes the kick drum, the TD-1KV reduces volume with a beater-less pedal design

Fits in Your Practice Space, Adjusts to Your Playing Style
• Inviting a supersize acoustic drum kit into your home is a big deal. Do you lose the spare room upstairs, or try and cram it into your living room? The space-saving TD-1KV can be a more practical choice, fitting into the tight living spaces. For added functionality, the sturdy, ergonomic drum rack is adjustable, allowing the drum positions to be set up for everyone from children to adults. In addition, the height of each cymbal and the angle of the snare pad can also be fine-tuned for your comfort and playing style. The TD-1KV is optimized for students, but it can also be used by the experienced drummer who needs a kit for home practicing or backstage warm-up

A Drum Set That Evolves with Your Playing
• As your playing takes off, you don't want your drum kit to hold you back. The Roland TD-1KV can grow with you, thanks to a range of optional extras that let the kit advance with you. You can add an extra cymbal with the additional OP-TD1C Cymbal Pad, or swap out the standard kick pedal for the KT-10 or KD-9 models used in Roland's more advanced V-Drums. With other accessories including the NE-10 Noise Eater, TDM-3 V-Drums Mat, and PM-03 Personal Drum Monitor, the TD-1KV is an electronic kit that can grow with you

Record on Your Computer Via USB
• The TD-1KV is not just fun to play by itself, it's also a great way to make music with your computer. Included is a built-in USB-MIDI interface, making it able to communicate with music software via just a USB cable, with no extra hardware needed. Maybe you'll transfer your playing into your computer-based recording software, capturing a live drum feel in your latest masterpiece. Or perhaps you'll use Roland's free V-Drums Friend Jam series applications, which offer jam tracks, practice features, and the ability to compete with V-Drums users across the planet. For more in-depth education, the powerful DT-1 V-Drums Tutor provides a fun, dynamic platform for learning notation and essential drum techniques

Streamline Operation
• With its clear layout, the control panel lets you access all functions quickly, and you can see info at a glance with the LED display and the metronome's flashing tempo indicator
