[@laotzu1111]

It would be nice to see the dynamic range of the kit... everything played was like 1000% attack lol I think all electric kits sound nice, the value in them comes from their dynamic range and sensor ability.

[@drumtecTV]

Hi, many of the new V2 firmware kits are indeed very rock and/or electronic sounding, so a lot of those kits didn't feel like playing subtle / low dynamic styles to me. Yet, for example the "Warm Jazz" kit at 1:49 gives a pretty comprehensive overview of dynamic range & subtle articulations, that the TD-17 module & VAD307 pads are able to deliver. Kind regards!

[@astronaut2005drummer]

Thank you so much Ralph for this upload. The new sounds, for me, are a great adition to the TD-17 module (2.0). The new 20 drum kits sounds very good. Once again your drumming is amazing.

What is the best triggering between VAD307 and DTX8K? Impossible for me to trying side by side (too far away from drumtec… and music store in my town don’t have this two drumkits in stock!)…! Ralph you are one of the best drummer in the world!

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you so much Mike :) Triggering/playability is great on both kits, yet Roland is superior (especially on hh controller, cymbals & Snare). Yamaha has some great sounds on the module though, yet sound preferences are really subjective. You might upgrade the VAD307 with a nice 18" drum-tec diabolo series Real Feel bass drum for much more authentic playing feel/rebound and way less noise than with the Roland 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 custom kit configuration including international shipping if you like.

I own the VAD307 and previously owned the predecessor to the TD-17, which is very similar. I would say the pads on the VAD are a significant upgrade. It feels like you are playing on an acoustic kit.

Is it possible to upgrade the components on this kit with say components from the 500 line? Like if I wanted the bigger ride cymbal or eventually the 14" snare, would it work with the TD17?

[@ThiagoCosta-vw4qr]

If you want bigger ride, you should take td27 kv2, flagship hi hat, flagship 18’’ ride and 14’ snare, only the floor tom its smaller but you can easily upgrade it. And that 3 pieces are digital pads, that means you will have positional sensing.😃

And no will not work I think because these 500 pads have usb cables

Just wondering if there is a preferred hi hat stand to use with an electronic kit (when the hi hat is standalone, and not part of a rack). Thanks everyone! Drum on!

[@DiegosaurusThesaurus]

As I understand it the new crash cymbals are thinner and can be choked, as well as the ride which was not possible with the 306 thicker version? Also the new ride is 3 zoned and the old one was only two? Aside from the hardware and the new thinner slicker crash cymbals and three zone ride is there anything new? Does the module on the 307 come with the forthcoming update?

[@drumtecTV]

Hey Diego, the older cymbals already had the choke function & the 13" had three zones too. The new ride is 14" and both cymbals have a thinner profile (like the CY-16R-T and CY-14C-T), that I really like. The older models feel kind of "bulky" in comparison, I think the thinner ones play more realistic. All new TD-17 based kits (TD-17KV2, TD-17KVX2 and VAD307) come with the TD-17 Gen.2 update. Kind regards!

The TD-17 module has one more trigger input free, or you might also use splitters to have more input channels available (then those will be single zone though): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWbMpqiupNdmaNk Kind regards!

Wow...all these years since I sold my TD-10 and I still think Roland drums sound like glorified casio keyboards. Would have thought by now things would have changed.

[@robotman5105]

Roland has a more diverse audience than Efnote does. Roland has players of hard rock, punk rock, metal and everything in between. The sounds are more processed but they have a satisfying oomph to them. Efnote is better for the softer genres of jazz or blues, even rock n roll, where there’s some more finessed playing going on. And if you take the time to fine tune your own custom kit you can make something sound less processed and more dynamic on the Roland. Efnote however gives you little to no editing at all, you’re stuck with what they provide.

I'm beyond disappointed in Roland at this point. Are these the best acoustic sounds this module has??? It's one thing to not have thousands of kits (which is a trend now), at this price point. Its' something else entirely to have NO kits that sound good. Every sound I heard in this video sound synthetic, and overprocessed. The bell sounded decent. Is this module truly that bad??? Or, did the player pull up sounds thinking it was showing off the various samples this module offers?
