Played this drum kit today for first time at a music store and it was amazing

[@RAGEStudios2012]

The ghost notes are just too good!

[@kooijbas]

That is one tasty way to start the demo 😲 3:03 Felt a Honor thy father vibe.

Ralf is my drum hero! Another great video. This is the kit I would want if I had stupid throw away money.

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you so much Michael & have a merry christmas!

I'll definitely be saving up for this roland kit!! Looks nice and sounds nice. I have a simmons 1250 at the moment, but I miss the roland feel and sounds.

[@raysmith3488]

I wanted to see how to connect the digital components eg. the high hat, snare and ride digital components. Digital port #1, digital port #2, digital port #3. Which port is for the high-hat, which port is for the snare and which port is for the ride cymbal?

[@jollymollyist]

I’m switching from the Alesis Strike Pro to this kit and I’m so excited.

[@metall301]

I wanted to get the Alesis Strike Pro and now I just got interested in the Roland 507. What made you choose this one over the Alesis?

[@SFUPodcast]

@@metall301 the build quality on the 507 is far better. 2 toms 1 crash and the snare broke within 2 years on the strike pro. There’s a plexiglass piece the piezo triggers are on and it breaks and the cones no longer make contact with the mesh head. Plus the hi hat on the Roland is far superior.

[@Horrordrums]

Holy balls this dude RIPS! 😮😮

[@stephprime]

Awesome Kit!! Ich hab aber ein paar negative Sachen über die Bass Drum gehört - gerade mit einem Doppel-Pedal! Habt ihr da irgendwelche Probleme feststellen können?

[@dewayne5533]

I have the td27kv2 and when i play a kit sometimes im like, "man, this kit doesnt sound good with anything." Then i come to drumtec and see you kill every kit on here and realize how much i just suck!! 😂. If i can play half as good as you one day ill be so freakin happy lol!!!!

[@anteknezevic9394]

One important question that interests me. Can the VAD 507 shell set work with the Pearl mimic pro module?

[@chasterrell3421]

Not the digital pads like the snare, hi hats, or ride. They only work on the Roland TD-27 and TD-50X

[@PhoenixHull18]

Are the seller at drumtec reliable just wondering since I want to by this kit when I ever get the money to afford one lol!!:)

[@666rbr]

How can you fit a 8” cymbal for splash between the crash and the ride into the center? On what stand or holder? As well as a 10-12” cymbal for China to the right somewhere around the second crash and floor tom?

[@PhatSimey]

Really wish they'd make this available in the white sparkle too ;-)

[@daveclarkson5519]

Great video (and playing Ralf!) I am torn between this and a td50kv that is currently on sale, reduced to the same money. It will be for live use, can’t decide if the td50 is massively more punchy or not.

[@tallnotdeaf]

Td50 mate

[@mauriciocortezbowles6446]

I would honestly go with this one out of the two, this new update really did improve the sounds surprisingly. Plus the VH-14D.. Nuff said

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you so much Dave! I really like my drum-tec pro series / TD-50X setup, that I have used on tour this summer a lot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6eVo5iXa66Egrs To me the TD-50X is way more flexible because of the amount of ins/outs & the physical faders, also I prefer the TD-50X sound to the TD-27 by far (even after this upgrade). You can listen to some nice drum-tec Sound Edition demos for the TD-50X here if you like, the Live Sound Edition actually comes for free with the purchase of a TD-50X module/kit from drum-tec: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoCxg3-YhLiBq6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIrReoGnmth3fbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHenaZudd7RondE Kind regards & merry christmas!

[@pedrolsantiagosr5092]

Okay, i have this same kit but it does not sound anything like these kits? Where can i get them?

[@FeniaMM]

What would you need for extra. Do I need an amplifier? Sorry I am totally new in this area 😂

[@alieninstallation50]

I wish there was a section of the video showing how loud it is to others. Many of us need e kits so we don't annoy others in the house or next door.

[@jamessullenriot]

Last spring I bought a VAD 506 and then added the VH14 HH and even an extra floor tom (I got a good bonus at work for 2021 and instead of saving it like I normally did I spent it all and them some 😂) - anyway, I guess I can say I have the 507 then since its basically a 506 + HH?

[@agusg.t.8950]

You need to update the module and you are 90% there man (the cymbals are slightly different too)

[@drumtecTV]

@@agusg.t.8950 Hi Agus & James, the cymbal models have only changed on the TD-17 kits actually :) So yes, if you add the TD-27 V2 firmware update + VH-14D you have a VAD507 kit (apart from some minor changes, that have been done to the hardware/stands). Kind regards!

[@ComanderCancan]

Would you prefer this over the alesis strata prime?

[@AmazingDogShorts]

Hey, can you please tell me what Roland drum mat you used in this video? What size is needed for the 507 kit? Thanks!

[@drumtecTV]

It's the Roland TDM-20: www.drum-tec.com/roland-tdm-20-large-sound-absorbing-drum-carpet Kind regards!

[@JaelleJaen]

mannnnn this playing is tasty what kind of exercises do you do to start to learn to be able to do fills like these? i play mostly metal and i really want to start adding some dynamics to my playing and your fills just sound so good

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you so much, that's a rather complex question :) I've been playing the drums for 32 years now actually, including musical studies of jazz & popular music for 5 years at the music collages Mainz & Hamburg. So I had quite some time to work on different styles, establish routine for certain techniques etc. In the end, it's all about practice/routine, and having a teacher at hand, that guides you through the process, without skipping or rushing things. Kind regards & merry christmas!

[@JaelleJaen]

@@drumtecTV Thanks for the clear answer! you merry christmas too!!

[@luanlopes4054]

Which one of these 3 would have the best natural triggering specially for the Hi-hat? Roland VAD504 - EFNOTE 5 - ATV artist series Standard. Awesome drumming 🤘🤘

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you Luan! The triggering / playability of the Roland VH-14D is hard to beat in my opinion, also CY-18DR is a sensational e-cymbal. So I guess, I'd rate it just in the exact running order that you used :) Yet, there are even more options, as you might actually get any customized kit configuration from drum-tec! Please also check out the 100% Roland compatible drum-tec pads, especially the diabolo/pro series Real Feel bass drums, which play outstandingly authentic & are way more silent than f.e. the Roland VAD KD-200/KD-180L: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqsmGRorL14ibM Feel free to get in touch through [e-mail] for further assistance and/or an individual quote on any kit configuration including international shipping if you like. Kind regards!

[@luanlopes4054]

@@drumtecTV Thanks so much for your reply 🙂

[@GunpointSyndicate]

I’d easily pick the Roland VAD out of all of those for one really big reason: product support. Roland isn’t going anywhere as a company. Ef Note is a small company with limited distribution. ATV no longer services North America (to the best of my knowledge) and is dwindling.

[@GabrieleLoparco]

keep up the good work, a question... how do you record the original sound that comes out the v drum? pls I need this good video😁😁

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you very much! I record the stereo out of the sound module directly into an audio/midi interface, which is connected to my Macbook running Logic Pro Audio for recording. Kind regards!

[@GabrieleLoparco]

@@drumtecTV u use the printer cable?

[@Anonyomus]

How loud is this kit acoustically? Like how much noise it makes? Other than that looks and sounds pretty freakin' nice. For home studio and using MIDI with plugins you can make relatively lively and organic sounding recordings, when real acoustic sets are out of question

[@Fishplants]

It's quiet, The bassdrum is the one with the most noise but the snare and toms are really silent 😎🥁

[@drum7989]

Does this version of the td27 module have improved sounds too? The standard kits seems to sound better than the vad 506..Beautiful playing as always!

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you very much! We'll be releasing a sound demo featuring all new onboard kits of the TD-27 V2 shortly :) kind regards!

[@rizatamin]

This or DTX10K-M? I know they’re not at the same price range,but i really want to know which is better in feels/playibilty and which is easier to use to record to macbook

[@edgaracosta9976]

I’m no expert but from what I’ve researched the Roland hi hat and snare technology is the best in the entire market. May be worth looking into

[@jurimusic88]

Can you use the VAD507 with EZdrummer?

[@drumtecTV]

Sure, you can use any electronic drum module with a midi output for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIGyiquvr8hnsNU kzbin.info/www/bejne/aorMnqWpqLeEoNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHutZ2WPhd13Y9k Kind regards!

@@drumtecTV Thanks!! 👌

[@jameslovatt804]

How close is this hi-hat to a real one? Is it much better than the vh-10?

[@drumtecTV]

Hey James, absolutely. In my opinion, there is no more realistic option than the VH-14D, although the VH-10 also is a great hihat controller for its price. Kind regards!

[@mrmimicofficial]

Ralf is phenomenal but these Roland modules just sound so terrible. How is this acceptable at that price point when Superior Drummer 3 exists in the same time period? The only thing that's gonna keep Roland alive going forward is owning the patents to the digital USB pads, in my opinion. What a shame to see such a big name edrum brand fall so far behind, even behind companies like Alesis. Hell, who would've thought Pearl's drum modules would kick Roland's ass? Damn shame.

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you very much! I like the Roland modules for their state-of-the-art triggering/playability, the mentioned digital pads and also features like the positional sensing on snare/hh/rc. I also got very nice results from the TD-50X on tour last summer, but wouldn't have used it for any genre though. In the end I guess it really comes down to what you need and what kind of musical styles you'll be playing mostly. If it's any kind of rock music, the Mimic will just sound way more authentic all the way. For some more electro infused / pop / groove genres, I'm happy using my drum-tec pro series / TD-50X setup (and also in the studio for midi out), and then there's jazz for example, where I wouldn't use an electronic drumkit at all 😀 So, it depends! Kind regards & merry christmas!

[@laurentlanglois3309]

Roland plik plok pluk sounds....🤮

[@rolderdrummer2448]

It really doesn't matter much if your ear hears Roland sounds like that, finally the sound is subjective and just as many of us find Roland sounds good and also with many parameters to transform them as you want as a final product, there are those like you who try to make mufa and taunts for some unknown purpose.
