Honestly, I would not have been able to put the kit together without your video (the provided instructions were so unhelpful). Thank you thank you thank you!

[@NickCostaMusic]

I really appreciate that, thank you! Glad this helped you assemble the kit. Reach out if you ever have any questions - enjoy! ✌️ 🥁

[@phartzabit]

Same here ! Thanks

FYI: That Bass Drum Beater is two-sided, felt and plastic. Felt beaters are NOT recommended for mesh drum heads as the felt can snag and eventually tear the mesh. Rotating the beater to use the plastic side will lengthen the life of the mesh head. Plastic or wood beaters are best with mesh-head electronic drums. With drumsticks, make sure you only use a dedicated set, not some that have already been used on an acoustic set, as those might have chips and dings in them from metal rim shots. Those chips and dings can also snag and tear the rubber and mesh parts of the electronic kit. Though undamaged wood-tipped drumsticks are okay, nylon-tipped are preferred.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Others have mentioned this as well - appreciate the reminder!

[@jakobh6257]

Great info

[@brandonroberts8008]

Definitely an IYKYK item. Great addition to a great video!

[@dansantospirito5310]

Many thanks. About to buy one of these, so good tip to have!

[@erickr.c.guiitar3974]

Thank you sir!!! You just save me from all these mistakes !!! I really appreciate it. 😁

[@paranoma87]

I watched this video a week ago, got my set yesterday and began assembling today. Thought I’d use the instruction booklet just in case he missed something. Got about 2 instructions in, bewildered by the tiny and grainy photos, and busted this video out. Soooo much easier. Thanks for the video. Btw, this kit sounds great!!!

[@NickCostaMusic]

That’s so rad to hear, Mike! Glad it helped you get the kit together - hope you’re enjoying it so far. Appreciate you checking out the vid - enjoy the kit!

[@CrazyHenkie777]

Same here! Thnx for the vid.

[@NickCostaMusic]

@@CrazyHenkie777 you’re very welcome! Appreciate ya checking out the vid

[@iSturg]

This was my exact experience. The booklet is slightly confusing and has few helpful diagrams. This video was incredibly helpful.

[@NickCostaMusic]

@@iSturg The instructions can be overwhelming for sure. Great to hear this helped ya out!

[@gerryjalove]

Thank you, Nick...you are the man! Also, for taking the 34 minutes plus out of your day to share this info with us...you're the best!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Many thanks, Gerry! Glad it helped and happy to help. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@flex-ranger2]

Hi Nick, just bought my kit yesterday and wanted to personally thank you for uploading this video as the instructions provided were horrible. i was able to follow this easily and with confidence. So THANK YOU ❤️

[@NickCostaMusic]

Great to hear, happy to help! Thank YOU for checking out the vid. Enjoy the kit, and have fun!

[@markdiamond1288]

Thank you so much for taking the time to show how to put this drum set together. It would have taken me probably another hour or more to complete using the instructions that came with the drum set.

[@NickCostaMusic]

You're very welcome! That's exactly why I made this video - as a visual learner myself, I realized setting this up wasn't as complicated as I originally thought looking at the instructions. What do you like about your TD-17KVX so far?

[@winip9261]

Let me add myself to the list of people thanking you for this video. It would have taken me forever without your help. Excellent, excellent instructional video.

[@NickCostaMusic]

You’re very welcome! Great to hear it helped you get the kit together. Appreciate you checking out the vid, and enjoy the kit!

[@bhaveshsolanki6485]

Thank you Nick, just got the kit delivered to me about an hour ago, and I was dreading having to set up the rack 😫 but thanks to your video, you have made it look a lot more easier!

[@NickCostaMusic]

That's awesome! So happy to hear this video helped ya out, and that you got a killer new e-kit. Appreciate you checking out the video, and enjoy the kit.

[@MELINADRUMS]

Three years later… thank you SO SO much for this, a lifesaver, you’re awesome! This was so helpful. ☺️🤘🏼

[@NickCostaMusic]

You’re very welcome, glad it helped! Thank you for checking out the vid and if you have any questions on anything drum set related, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll try to help in anyway I can 🥁

[@JelmoNL]

I have set up this kit yesterday with this video on my tablet. Now I came back to this video today to leave this comment, because it deserves a big thank you! Thanks for the time it took to make, it’s a very good step by step and clear help.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Killer, Jelmer! Glad this helped you assemble your TD-17kvx. Have you had a chance to play it and if so, what do you like about it so far?

[@markusthedrummer8143]

I'm a long time drummer and I benefited from watching this, thank you for saving me tons of time

[@NickCostaMusic]

You're very welcome! Great to hear it helped you. Thanks for checking out the vid.

[@artnelsoncreative]

I can’t thank you enough for doing this video. I would’ve never been able to put it together by just looking at the printed instructions. I see that you are a music teacher. I bet you’re great at what you do. Thanks again.

[@NickCostaMusic]

You're very welcome @artnelsoncreative ! So happy to hear this helped you assemble your kit, and thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate the positive feedback, especially when it comes to my teaching - THANK YOU🙏🏻🥁

[@gianluigidautilia6417]

whitout this tutorial i would have been lost only look at the horrible paper included i would have returned it!! this was gold!

[@adamdavidson3046]

Thanks for making this video, it was SO much easier to follow than the printer instructions. I got my kit setup in about 2.5 hours, the first 30 mins was using the paper version before I went to KZbin. I only made one mistake and got the HH and HHC leads the wrong way around but after that I was drumming! It really is a great kit. I've only played acoustic kits before and I'm amazed at how good electronic kits are these days. Time to teach my kids to play. Thanks again.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Awesome - glad it helped! This kit is great to hash out new ideas. My students really liked how you could customize the kit with different drum sounds, tunings, and loved the built in teaching tools. Best part - the Bluetooth connectivity for their phones! Thanks for checking out the vid - and enjoy!

[@nijmegen1975]

This saved me so much time setting up the kit....way clearer than the directions in the box....thanks! 👍

[@NickCostaMusic]

Great to hear - glad it helped. Thanks for checking out the vid, and enjoy the kit!

[@BBFKTECH]

Thanks for this video!! The instructions that come with the kit aren’t that easy to decipher. You saved me a lot of time with this tutorial. Thank you so much!!! 🙏🙏

That's great to hear, glad it helped you with assembly. Thanks for checking out the video, and enjoy the kit!

[@yelltempus]

Oh man, I'm visually impaired & have been trying to set one of there kits for over a month. THANK YOU! You've been a huge help.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Well there ya go! Glad to see this helped, and enjoy the kit!

[@ianwillis5292]

Wow, this made the assembly super quick and easy. Thank you much sir! Solid.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Glad it helped! Enjoy the kit, and appreciate you checking out the vid!

[@johnnybalb]

This video was incredible helpful. I was so overwhelmed when opening the box and it felt like nothing was labeled. Following each step was very easy. Highly recommend this video.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Totally understand the overwhelming feeling opening this thing up. The excitement turns to fear real quick! Thank you for the kind words, and happy to hear it helped you assemble your kit!

[@812cp]

I'm thinking by buying one of these kits and watched this to see how it all comes together. I don't know what's more impressive here: the quality of the instruction, or the fact that you assembled that whole kit with one hand!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Lol - I appreciate it! Definitely will use a tripod and 2 hands next time.

[@bill40409]

Your guide saved my son and I a ton of time today, Christmas day. Thank you very much!

[@NickCostaMusic]

You're very welcome, Bill! What a great kit to get on Christmas - enjoy 🙏🏼 🥁

[@patrickwade757]

This is exactly what i was looking for. thank you so much!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Glad it was helpful, and you're very welcome! Enjoy the kit, and thanks for checking out the vid.

[@dougcarson5202]

Very good, step-by-step guide to setting up this kit. Don't know what I would have done without it, since the directions that came the kit were quite weak. Just one suggestion to clarify the set-up even further. In order to get my right leg to fit between the snare and third tom, I had to angle the kick drum slightly to right of center of the line of the posts of the frame. I previously had assumed the kick drum should be centered with the line of the posts of the frame, which caused the leg interference with the snare. The way I figured out that Nick had actually done this was by doing a freeze-frame of the set-up of the kick drum from behind the kit. I then spotted that had actually done this.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Thanks, Doug! Great to hear this had helped you setup the kit. Thanks for checking out the vid, and enjoy the kit!

[@catmlr]

Thank you so much for this really useful video, I would not have been able to assemble the drum kit without it. You saved me a lot of frustration and time. Really grateful!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Happy to hear it helped! Enjoy the kit, and thanks for watching

[@ShaneWhaley]

Wow, this video is a lifesaver!!! I dont think I could have put this kit together without it. I am new to drums so I am looking forward to digging into your content! Thanks again!

[@NickCostaMusic]

That's fantastic to hear, Shane - both that this vid helped you, but more importantly that you're getting started with the drums! If you ever need anything, never hesitate to reach out to me on my website and I'll try to help in anyway that I can. NickCostaMusic.com

[@patked-music]

Many thanks for this video. I managed to mount the TD17KVX in 1:30. If I had done it with the ROLAND documentation, I think I would have spent the whole weekend there, and again 🙂 I'm new to drums (I'm a guitarist) and I'm going to study all your rhythm demonstrations. Well done and thank you again Patked

[@NickCostaMusic]

Right on! Great to hear the video helped ya assemble your kit. If you need any resources feel free to reach out. Happy to help in any way that I can!

[@josephbeckett2868]

Thank you very much for this. I just picked up a 2nd hand TD17kv and your video helped me get all setup correctly. Cheers to you.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Fantastic! Glad this could help - sometimes these kits get setup kinda funny 😅

[@cristinalviana]

I tried to assemble the kit using the paper instructions... Impossible!!! I'm really grateful for this video, otherwise I really don't know if I could have done it! Thank you so much for the time you spent on it and for the clear and detailed instructions. Hats off to you!

[@NickCostaMusic]

So great to hear this video helped you - that's why it was made! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the vid and leave a comment. Enjoy the kit!

[@Surge_LaChance]

Thank you for producing and uploading this! I have one of these kits on the way and your video is already very helpful. I give you an A+. 🙂

[@NickCostaMusic]

Great to hear, Surge! Thanks for checking out the vid, and enjoy your kit!

[@frankwinkler9856]

Hi Nick, watched this before I bought the kit. I am probably one out of ten guys in the world who look at instruction manuals to set up an electronic device. When I looked at these ones delivered with the kit I thought, this will be "fun". Well, I remembered your video, and thanks to it, it was easy to setup the drumkit. One of the best instructional videos I have come across. Thanks a million. Greetings from Spain.

[@NickCostaMusic]

Comments like this are the reason why I made the vid. So great to hear this made the assembly easy. Enjoy the kit! 🥁

[@sydneydonovan8694]

You are a life saver, i was struggling with the directions.

[@NickCostaMusic]

So glad to hear this helped! Enjoy the kit, and thanks for checking out the vid.

[@michelkant]

100% 😁! Thanks for this. So much easier than the guides that came with it. They should link to your video in the books 😅

[@NickCostaMusic]

Roland is more than welcome to do so! Great to hear this video helped you assemble your kit - enjoy. 🥁

[@michaelk8642]

Thanks for the highly detailed video regarding putting this kit together. I was looking on the Roland YT site for a video like this and couldn't find anything except for all other kits besides this one. Because of you, I now have a reference to a step by step guide on how to put this kit together. As mentioned, thanks a bunch!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Fantastic, Michael! So happy to hear you were able to find the vid, and it helped you assemble your kit. Appreciate the kind words, and enjoy the kit 🙏🥁

[@germanviewpoint]

This is one of the best and most useful videos on KZbin!!! It helped me a lot and saved me a lot of time and frustration!! Thank you sooo much and may God bless you!!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Many thanks! Great to hear it helped you assemble your kit - enjoy 🥁

[@jeffcampbell6298]

Spin your bass beater around to where the plastic is hitting the base trigger instead of the felt. I read somewhere that the felt is bad for the mesh head.

[@ZmannR2]

This is VERY true....Rolands actual kick hammer is just solid plastic

[@msl2796]

But this model does not have the mesh head.

[@Varocka]

@@msl2796 except it does, the KD10 is a felt//cloth mesh pad.

[@ButchHudson]

static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/TD-17KV_V2_eng01_W.pdf ROLAND says: A variety of commercially available beaters can be used, including felt, plastic, or wood types. However if a felt beater is used, the felt may leave marks on the striking surface.

[@BlisterBang]

I've always heard that, too. But after 5 years it hasn't made a difference on either kit I play on. Maybe there's more to it than the generic "felt" issue?

[@Markroyale]

What a great guy! You nailed this: nicely paced, sufficiently detailed and most welcome! Thanks a lot 👍

[@NickCostaMusic]

Wow - thank you, Mark! I really appreciate the kind words. Thanks for checking out the vid, and enjoy your kit!

[@reubenk7331]

Fantastic, no fluff, straight to the point. This was concise but not dry. Thanks a lot for this detailed instructional video.

[@NickCostaMusic]

You're very welcome! Appreciate the kind words - enjoy the kit.

[@georgechabalewski6503]

Just purchased a td-17kvx and used your video to set it up. I can only say that after initially reading the instructions Roland provides (which are not horrible, but could be better), I am grateful for your video. Simply put, your video made the job much easier. It took me more than two hours to do so, but without your video, I would probably still be working on it. So, once again thanks.

[@NickCostaMusic]

So great to hear, and I'm glad it helped you assemble the kit. Thank you for the kind words, and enjoy the kit!

[@irisathena3916]

I'm getting this kit in a week's time, so this was extremely extremely helpful. I am terrible with manuals 🤣

[@NickCostaMusic]

Perfect - this should help ya get it together in no time!!

[@GBCCSMusic]

Fantastic tutorial - really thorough, fast enough to keep things moving but not so fast that I had to pause a million times, and everything was explained exceptionally well. Great work, thanks so much for the extremely helpful video!

[@NickCostaMusic]

You're very welcome, Wil! I appreciate the kind words, and happy to hear this helped you get your kit together. Enjoy it, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. I'll try to help as best as I can.

I believe you might have already heard this a time or two but, thank you so much for creating this video. It was super easy to follow and I didn't have any pieces left over at the end. Big thanks!!

[@jerzyflix]

Thank you. This was a perfect setup video - right up to the hi hat part! I have the KV not KVX kit & one major difference is the hi hat - any easy tips to set that one up??

[@NickCostaMusic]

With the KV make sure you leave an extra clamp to the left of your crash cymbal. Use the shorter arm, and have it come inwards towards you, then flatten the ball joint. That will keep the arm out of the way of your leg. Place the foot pedal directly underneath, follow connect the HH cable to the cymbal, and the HHC to the pedal. Enjoy!

[@michaelsinanis3022]

dude you rock...! just got my TD-17 KVX and I was going to pay some banana head from Guitar Center to set it all up, thanks to you, im good now.... great video my man!!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Excellent! Glad it helped ya get the kit setup. Just like an acoustic kit sit with the proper height, and place the components of the kit where it's natural for you to reach/hit. You got this!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Killer! So happy to hear this helped you. Just make sure that the plastic side of your bass drum beater hits the kick trigger. If you use the felt side it will damaged the kick trigger overtime

Great to hear - enjoy the kit, and thanks for checking out the vid!

[@dc2694]

In case no one has mentioned it, your instructions also work very well for the KVX2. The only real difference is that Roland seems to be recommending the shorter crash on the right-inboard and the taller ride cymbal on the right-outboard side. Thank you for the valuable time-saving video!

[@NickCostaMusic]

That’s awesome to hear! Wonder why they would want the longer stand for the ride? Either way if it works, then great! 🥁

[@MrBrandoss]

​@@NickCostaMusicI have my ride above Tom 2.

[@MrBrandoss]

I've had it set up for over a week and realized I left the metal plate and felt pad on the HH stand. It plays better now. Thanks!

[@NickCostaMusic]

It might not help the top hat pad from spinning, but it does make the bottom trigger more accurate. Enjoy the kit!

I'd just like to re-iterate what people have said below - I don't think I could have put it together from Roland's instructions, but your video was clear and simple to follow. Thank you!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Excellent! Happy to hear this helped, @captainbluebear !

[@keithhaldane9794]

Brilliant video! I am thinking of getting one of these and it was great to get a complete overview of the setup. Thank you!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Awesome! It's a great kit to have - has plenty of options to customize sound(s), and a few tools to help you improve your craft. Appreciate you checking out the video!

[@storminsea]

Thanks so much. This was a major help with setting the kit up👍🥁. Roland should be grateful to you!!

[@NickCostaMusic]

Great to hear it helped! Thanks for checking out the video, and enjoy the kit.

[@danielcichello4421]

Roland is great at everything EXCEPT manuals. Thank you so much. I was afraid I didn't have enough cables because the instructions for the cymbals said it had cables included with each which were not in the package. The snake cord had them all, and Roland did provide the one extra we need. Thanks so much for guiding us through the set up!!!
