Great electronic drum. I have a td12 for almost 15 years. Never had problems. the screen on the module disappeared sometimes but not all the time.

[@sufc43]

This video is packed with so much useful (and correct!) info about the TD12. In particular I can add that yes I have removed the bottom bar of the rack, converted to a Yamaha acoustic kit with Rdrums and Jobeky triggers and am using the TD12 module with Addictive Drums 2 and it's such an improved experience! If you're thinking of converting, just do it, so much good info out there like Vdrum Tips, thanks man, I've learnt so much from you!

[@Vdrumtips1]

Thank you! Great setup btw! :)

[@tjhessmon4327]

If you have a TD 17, sell your pads and replace them with the PD105 and the PD85 pads, you will find the difference to be night and day. I have played the TD20 module through a PA, but not the TD 12. If the TD 12 is a mini TD 20, then it will sound exceptional for stage work. Further, you can always route it through Superior Drummer, to acquire even better sounds. Additionally, you can purchase a Midi to USB interface and connect the TD12 to your laptop.

[@Th3gam3phr3ak]

I wish I went this route before buying my 17KVX...Great channel!

[@samueldette6401]

Do you regret buying the 17KVX instead of this one?

[@Th3gam3phr3ak]

@@samueldette6401 Honestly? Not really. Its been 2 years, and I enjoy playing it once I got used to the pads. What really helped was getting DrumTec TD17 Module sounds. Loaded those in and the kit sounds super realistic compared to before and especially the cymbals now sound almost too good to compare to actual cymbals. Definitely such a great kit and very portable and easy to setup.

[@Vdrumtips1]

Mike Luke Yes, I noticed that some guys regret selling their TD-12 after releasing this video:D

[@SchwappSchwopp]

is this still the case?

[@SchwappSchwopp]

Is the TD 12 still the best bang for buck value when it comes to triggering Superior Drummer 3? Or should I go for the TD20W or 20X or TD30? Tried the eDRUMIN10 but that trigger Interface is to nerdy for me, can’t dial in the settings correctly

[@jwc3104]

I totally agree. TD12 kit is basically TD20 with couple less inputs and sliders. It has exactly same OS and soundsets, which is very good even by today's standard.

[@Vdrumtips1]

Yes, it is still a solid module.

Hello and awesome video. i have a question, on my td-12 on the snare drum i only can play in the centre of the head. could you show me how to set up better to be able to play on the entire snare head?

[@matthewskanes7074]

Thank you very doing this video. I have had this kit for 10 years, and play it every day when home. The only thing I have had to replace is one rubber hoop on a rack Tom, as I had some set up as a cymbal. After finally destroying the head on the kid-85, I went and bought a kd-9, and actually prefer the feel, big enough for double-kick, and barely moves!! I have destroyed rugs and floors with those spiked feet in the 85. My module does have the lines in the display screen, but totally useable and works no issues. For the past 1.5 years I have been triggering with Superior drummer 2, and it’s awesome. NOTE: Due to the lack of USB, I highly recommend buying the Roland UM-one midi to USB cable. It’s not cheap, but works damn near flawlessly. I have been wondering for years what would be best pads and pieces to use for those additional two aux inputs to fill this out, and our customization ideas sound perfect! Bigger snare (though I never really though it was too small...) and the extra Tom, and a better ride which gives way to another crash..awesome! Thanks again!

[@johndef5075]

The td20, its big brother, is still a great module too. All this plus 2 more inputs and faders. All able to be split too.

[@MrFazerus]

legs of kd-85 have spikes u can screw out or just use foot pedal spikes to keep it from moving. worked for me for about 10 years, never had issues with moving kick using spikes. Td-12 is amazing module with 3 trigger ride and hihat foot splashes. Just need to upgrade tom pads and the feels like real drums

[@Vdrumtips1]

Yes, I thought about that, but I don't want to destroy my nice platform. The carpet is glued. Agree, better toms and you have a high-end set.

[@lawnboy54]

The clamp on the kid-85 that holds the arm that the legs attach to also fits the Roland rack... I just dropped the center brace of the rack and clamped the kid-85 right to it...kick literally can’t move.. just gotta adjust the Tom mounts to work for you since the kick is now attached in a spot a little farther

[@fattyspecial]

I just put Velcro on the bottom of my pedal and it doesn't move at all.

Well, I thank you infinitely brother ! For that amazing explanation and Update of my TD-12 V still have it in the Recording studios ..! Does it work well with Stylus RMX VST from Spectrasonics or Native Kontakt 8 ..? With the 1.1 Update please 🙏🏼

[@madsnarerbrian]

if u hit the white tuning ring on your pdx-8 then u really need to work on your accuracy. u can think of hitting that ring as hitting the inner shell of an actual acoustic drum. i love the pdx-8 because the extra 2 inches of rim feel better.

[@Vdrumtips1]

True, but still, the pads are not ideal and if I have to compare the 8” pads, the PD-85 is still a better choice for me. I really like the PDX-12 tough.

[@biekanez1]

I played for years on my TD 12. It was a special edition from Drum Tec. It came with the VH 12 Hihat and 2 pd 105 and 125 pads. After a few years I bought a Drum Tec Pro snare and sold the TD 12 module. I'm still using the rack from the TD 12. You were on my channel in the past. Now I bought a new Drum Tec kit but I will keep on using the drum rack. Great video and the TD 12 was really awesome, and I never had issues with my VH 12 in combination with the TD 12. It worked perfect! Love watching your vids my friend!👍🤛😎🍺

[@gsus300]

how is the triggering compared to the newer models (td25, 30, ...)? as you said, the td12 supports positional sensing but it seems to me it only distinguishes 2 zones on the snare (center and outer) 10:12

[@ilmagodiloz]

Awesome video, I’m in the market for a used TD-12 module, but that fading display issue is scary 😐

[@Vdrumtips1]

Lorenzo Franchini This issue is really rare. I would say 1 out of 8 has it. Could can ask the seller beforehand.

[@dropbearattack]

Lorenzo Franchini All I can say is I have never had a problem with my display, I guess it's just pot luck, as far as the sounds go; I've never used any module that had more than 2 or 3 bass or snare drum samples that I really liked, but at least you can modify them in the td12 and the onboard sliders make it ideal for live work. The V Link feature is not covered in this video and that is another powerful live tool that can make your band look a thousand times more professional if you want to spring for a projector. Overall, if I could afford a td30 module I would buy one but I don't feel at all limited with the 12 for gigs.

[@EzyoMusic]

Thank you! Now I know that if I want to upgrade my TD-9 kit ever, I'll have to go TD-12. Or 30/50 if I'm rich.

Brilliant video, thinking of upgrading my td 11 module with the td 12. I found it second hand for £385 which is a great price considering it's features and I only trigger VST and never usually focus on the module's on-board sounds.

[@Vdrumtips1]

That's a good price. But you need cables too. I'd do the same though. The TD-12 is a much better VST trigger. You probably can even get 280 pound for your TD-11.

[@musicharrygiles]

Yeah exactly, if I do make the trade off/upgrade I'll probably buy the cables from drum tec, since they sell them with the names of each pad, ie: hi hat, kick, snare, etc

[@ilmagodiloz]

Do you think the TD-12 is better than the TD-11 in terms of dynamics and triggering? I use the TD-11 with SD3 and I’m thinking if I should upgrade to the TD-12 to have better expressiveness to take advantage of the Drum-tec Pro snare I just bought. Would I get better expressiveness or are more inputs and Positional Sensing all I would get? - not that these are bad things 😄

[@Vdrumtips1]

Lorenzo Franchini The TD-12 is more expressive, however also slower in terms of latency. It does make sense in your case, because of the snare and SD3. But keep in mind, the TD-12 sounds are not as good and the module is from 2005-2012, while the TD-11 is from 2012-2017.

stikkman61 It is the most popular e-drum module according to my polls, I have one aswell. I see it as kind of an industry standard. However, even the TD-30 is not needed for certain types of drummers. Some are good with a TD-12 or 20. It depends on the individuals budget:)

[@Vdrumtips1]

Chris Bell Bigger shells are always more tricky to trigger. I would recommend a quality trigger (R-Drums or RT-30) and a good mesh head (Roland , Drum-tec). IN the module: Download the user manual and learn all trigger parameters. Try to understand them and you will be able to cancel the double hits.

[@chrisbell5032]

Thanks for that, the manual is a good idea lol, (I actually have one written on paper lol)last night I cured it with some rubbish practice pads I purchased, placed between the head and rim but, this increased the volume immensely and not really acceptable, still less than acoustic kits though (this might help people with the Yamaha ead10 mesh heads scenario) thanks again for sparing the time, Chris.

Tien Davis It is subjective as to what better sounds are but it depends what you want to use the module for, if you want to play live the TD 12 is a better option because of the onboard sliders.

Diemen Sniep How much it cost? Well I got it for 1200€ on the second hand market. But the price depends on the seller, the condition and the country.

[@lawnboy54]

I tell everyone this! Somehow everyone discredits this unit and swears by the td-17 which is pretty close in price now on the secondary market. The sounds kinda suck but you can tweak them and get em sounding decent if you take the time to dial in eq ,compression, and all the other editing features available. For $400-$600 range I’d take the td-12 over a td-17 all day

[@Vdrumtips1]

I agree, I would also rather take this one.

I Play it every day👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Are you a voice actor? You sound like the guy in the intro of Apex Legends

Would the td 12 module work with atv drums? Would you get this module over the atv ad5 module?

[@Vdrumtips1]

Joe Rainey Yes, all Roland module work with ATV drums. The hi-hat might not be as good as a VH-12 hi-hat. It is worth a try.

[@sbk1398]

Shame! Shame! HAHA. No worries. Great video btw. TD12 is actually really powerful

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

I’ve had one of these from new… Went to check out the current line up in a drum shop. The rack joints on the new ones are plastic junk, and the mounts for the drums look flimsy too, even on the top of the range models. Price has stayed the same, quality has gone way down!

One of my goals in life is to save enough money to buy a flagship Roland kit lol

td 17 has midi in.. nd out..

[@moneybot646]

Yeah the ride definitely needs to be larger

[@moneybot646]

You gonna need a Mac to update the firmware

[@TAHHGREEN]

You don't specifically need a Mac to do that.

[@moneybot646]

@@TAHHGREEN well I tried about 2 years ago with the windows link for the upgrade would not work it was just a dead link but I got a buddy of mine to do it and it worked right away when he downloaded the Mac version of the update also there are forums online of ppl complaining about the windows link not working so that’s why I mentioned that maybe years back when it first came out the windows install worked but not as of 2 years ago

[@TAHHGREEN]

@@moneybot646 no worries. I can only speak for me but I upgraded last year, using my Windows laptop. Glad I didn't try a couple of years ago by the sounds of it.

[@moneybot646]

@@TAHHGREEN damn that’s crazy maybe it got fixed . But glad you got it with less trouble

[@DEADLINETV]

Great video! You said everything I experience with my TD12kv! I've expanded it, changed out the ride for its bigger brother and use it constantle with EZDrummer 2 and SuperiorDrummer 3. I even have my old TD6 attached to it to expand it with more cymbals! Here is a link to a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYHEfa1thrulotk
