Best test so far. Noise oriented test just as the product shoul be tested.

@longandmcquade Ай бұрын

Thanks! We think we did the best test as well, but of course we're biased. 😆

life changer....seriously. Finally drummers can do what keyboard, bass players and guitarists have been able to do for over 1/2 a century! Practice anytime!

@ElBoyoElectronico Ай бұрын

Exactly! I always wanted to enjoy the freedom that other instruments have. Luckily I already built my own floating platform in my apartment which makes it possible to play drums during most times of the day. This kit would be my go-to though if I were to start over.

Not really. The sounds are garbage

@oldmatttv Ай бұрын

Yes, and no I suppose. I really want to get more back into drumming, and am considering an e-kit because that just feels like the only way to not disturb the neighbouring houses, but then I start thinking about all the things I'd like to be able to do and the limitations in musicality and realise there's just no replacement. For basic bashing, these work great. For more creative playing where you actually make use of the physical / acoustic features of an instrument it just doesn't translate. So, I'm still wondering about what to do ahahah. Maybe just a cheap e-kit at home for basic playalong and practice, and then find an actual studio of some sort for the rest idk.

Well done for actually demonstrating how loud they are in the room, something Roland failed to do on their own video 🙄

@Iamadrummer Ай бұрын

Roland has several of these demo videos, and there is a comparison video with a similar e-kit for a sound comparison.

Superb demo!!! Thank you....Hey Roland... this is how it's done!! 😆

Finally some innovation regarding loudness. It's the number one reason why people go for edrums. Hope they will make a TD1 version with these silent pads as well.

@milesgibbons9287 Ай бұрын

You can get a version of this kit without a module, and pair it with any V-Drums module you’d like.

@annekedebruyn7797 Ай бұрын

@@milesgibbons9287 Sadly the way the pads are mounted isn't compatible. :(

This is so cool! Great review too!

@StereoAnthony Ай бұрын

Pretty amazing stuff. I always thought if a company came up with a fully decoupled riser it would be an easier fix, but then they go ahead and redesign all the pads instead. Roland for the win, again.

@Iamadrummer Ай бұрын

I do not find this to be a big win. Most higher-end pad based e-kit are fairly quiet, just not as quiet as this kit, but quiet enough in a closed room you are not going to disturb anyone. Also, if you put any e-kit on a tennis ball riser, it eleminats the vibration noise from the whole kit, not just the pedals with the sound eater pads. This kit is just a quiet version of a lower-end e-kit for more money. A practice pad set is just as quiet for a hell of a lot less money.

Excellent test demo. Right to the point and we can see and hear it. Thanks

@longandmcquade Ай бұрын

You're welcome Mark! Glad you liked our demo.

@kaizerkabir5152 Ай бұрын

Nice one . But If I already have an v drum I guess no need to change the entire kit rather I can use a rubber tip on my stick. What will be more effective rather this VQD raw sound.

Excellent review. About the product: rolands claim of reducing 75% of the noise is not true at all!!!

@kelvinfunkner Ай бұрын

wow! finally an electronic kit that you don't have to turn up louder than a real kit in the main PA just to overcome the nasty sound of the pads!

@mikey2111 Ай бұрын

The problem with my set is the KD9. The sound of that seems to travel through walls. The normal pads and cymbals seem to be alright tho. Maybe i'll get the KDQ-8 to replace my KD9

@longandmcquade Ай бұрын

The new KDQ-8 plus the noise eater pads will make a big difference!

@phaedraforcet4808 Ай бұрын

HELLO MILES. THANKS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU CAN PROGRAM A SOUND ON THE TOM PADS RIM LIKE THE 50KV2?????

@longandmcquade Ай бұрын

No, the tom pads are single zone only.

@philliamproject8113 Ай бұрын

Are these electronic drums easy to hook to an interface and Logic or Garageband? Love how quite they are.

@milesgibbons9287 Ай бұрын

Yes! You can connect any Roland V-Drums module to an audio interface if you want - for this module, you'll need to use a Y-Cable (1\8" stereo at the module, to dual 1\4" mono for the interface). However, you can plug this kit directly into a computer with a USB cable, to send and receive audio and MIDI from any DAW or VST you might use. All of Roland's current generation of V-Drums modules have built-in USB interfaces (and many modules from previous generations).

@Iamadrummer Ай бұрын

As said, you can hook up this e-kit to a computer and use a VST, but that would only give you more sound options and not improve the e-kit as this e-kit is just a quieter single zone version of a lower-end e-kit. Higher-end pad based e-kits are fairly quiet, mabe not as quiet, but you will get a better, more realistic drumming experience. If you put any e-kit on a tennis ball riser, you will eliminate the vibration sound from the whole kit, not just the pedals with the sound eater pads. A similar e-kit may be accusticly a little louder, but you can get more playing zones and save money. As I said, a tennis ball riser is the way to go with any e-kit as the vibrations through the floor and walls are the biggest problem with e-kits as most of the good e-kits have accusticly quiet enough pads you are not going to disturb anyone.

@Iamadrummer Ай бұрын

This may be accusticly the quietest e-kit on the market but... All the pads are only single zone, the playing area is over paded and a bit spongy, making the pad quiet but gives an unrealistic playing feel, also as with most Roland modules the internal sounds are not that great. Basically, this e-kit is just an expensive practice pad set that can make drum sounds. Although this is a very quiet, accusticly e-kit, most good and higher-end e-kits are fairly quiet, accusticly, just not as quiet. The sound eater pads are cool and do keep the pedal vibration noise to a minimum, but you can buy these separately and use them on any drum kit or just put the kit on a tennis ball riser that would eliminate the vibration sound from the whole kit. I'm not really sure who this kit is really marketed for as most drummers that want or use an e-kit want one that is as close to an accustic drum set as possible for a comete drumming experience. I think this quiet e-kit is a nice idea, just not really practical for most drummers as this is just a quieter version of a lower-end e-kit that most drummers refer to as just toys of a drum set. The real trick that most drummers would want is this quiet technology to have a more realistic playing feel, to be integrated into a higher-end e-kit with multiple playing zones, and a hi-hat on a stand. Until that is possible, I do not see this kit as selling well since similar lower-end e-kits(although a little louder accusticly) can be purchased for less money.

@URAZKIVANER Ай бұрын

that beater has been around for some time which I have been using with my TD27 kv2. Nothing new. The noise eaters do not work as well as a visco pad foam. For that amount of money you could buy a king size Visco Pad matress and put an MDF board on top and raise all of your drum kit 🤣

@longandmcquade Ай бұрын

The noise eater pads are way easier and more practical. Apartment landlords typically don't like tenants bringing two 4x8 sheets of 3/4" MDF up the elevator, cutting it down to size out on the balcony with a circular saw, and drilling out a grid of holes for tennis balls to sit in and dropping sawdust on the units below. Ask how we know. 🤭
