[@Five0Music]

Ralf is such a good drummer, he makes every kit he plays sound awesome. As many mention, it's best to turn your bass drum beater around and use the plastic side on e-drums, which will save wear on the kick pad and beater both. I don't think you can touch the TD-17 kits in their comparative price ranges, and ordered a TD-17KVX myself. Hope to see it early next week. Thanks Drum-Tech for the great TD-17 demos!

[@drumtecTV]

Hey Rick, thank you very much! You don´t have to turn around your kick beater with the KD-9 or KD-10 kick pads, as they don´t have a "standard" mesh surface, that gets worn out by felt beaters. They have a specialized thicker material, that makes it possible to play the felt side without any problems. Kind regards!

This is what im using in my bedroom.. I love this Kit.. TD-17KL

[@elijahharing]

How loud are the toms? Like no one ever taps the drum with it plugged in haha. That's my main concern with this drum and the Roland TD 17 kv

[@anakbaliti]

I think the Tom's are bit louder since there rubber compared with all mesh

[@edwartvonfectonia4362]

Hey! Is this drums good investment for 300 euros (Good condition)?

[@beyondlimits250]

Beginner question here....Ive noticed the default pad level was set to -3.4 db for most pads .....Is that how most of the pads are supposed to be set ? Not sure but the hi hats seem to be lacking or maybe I'm not hitting them accurately enough ?

[@marcusliew1219]

For a beginner drummer age below 10 yrs old would you recommend TD17KL or KV?

[@drumtecTV]

Hi, if you can afford the KV go for it, it has mesh pads & is much closer to a "real" drumming experience/playing feel/rebound. You can also check out this slightly more affordable KV-L kit configuration from drum-tec: www.drum-tec.com/roland-td-17kv-l-drum-tec-edition-with-live-sound-edition For any further questions, please feel free to get in touch thorugh [e-mail]!

hey i have this drum set but how can I make it sound like Ringo Starr's drum set or does someone in the comments know

[@raywpondaag]

what's different TD-17KL, TD-KV, and TD-17KVL? all sound it's good...

[@drumtecTV]

Hey Ray, the kits have different pad/cymbal configurations in the first place. Finally the TD-17KL has the TD-17 module without bluetooth. You can find alle kits + info over here: www.drum-tec.com/sets/roland Kind regards!

[@jimbarcelona1078]

Missing the mallet for kick plus no hihat pedal

[@Jingles8302]

So I tried to read through all the comments before asking but, are the rubber pads for the toms single or dual trigger? Reason i ask is, if i dont NEED bluetooth, and the toms are still dual trigger and i don't care about how "loud" the pad hits are, this can save me money! haha.

[@drumtecTV]

Hi, the PD-8A pads are mono / single zone. Have you checked out the TD-17K-L drum-tec mesh edition kit yet? www.drum-tec.com/roland-td-17kl-drum-tec-mesh-edition-with-live-sound-edition It´s basically a TD-17KL with dual zone mesh toms & might fit your needs perfectly :) If you have any further questions, please get in touch through [e-mail] directly. You can also get an individual quote on the kit + international shipping if you like. Kind regards!

[@jimbarcelona1078]

I just recieved one ,many questions, 1st, not necessary to use nylon tip is it? 2nd need a step by step assemble of set, get back to me asap with a phone numbet if possible, Roland TD17K-L

[@drumtecTV]

Hi Jim, you can reach out through [e-mail] for any product related questions. Kind regards!

[@hectormanchastudio]

How did it handle ghost notes or soft playing? I noticed a lot of kits struggle to handle the faster rudiments and ghost notes

[@drumtecTV]

Hi Hector, the TD-17 triggers really well & is very accurate. There are no lost notes or trigger problems whatsoever & you can tweak the pad sensitivity for dynamics to your individual playing style. The module gets even better when paired with more professional pads: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYixcmt4gNZnmtE kzbin.info/www/bejne/emO5f4KLZrOMiqs Kind regards!

[@gangulyrohit0]

Hey! I have query on this kit. Can you please confirm this on dual zone tom pads. Can we assign different sounds on rim and the pads of the tom?

[@drumtecTV]

Hi Rohit, no the tom pads of the TD-17K-L were just single zone without a rim trigger. The kit has been discontinued a while ago, you might check out the more recent TD-07KV with full mesh pads: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn_deYWeZt-Ama8 More info on the kit here: www.drum-tec.com/roland-td-07kv-v-drums-set You might also get a custom kit configuration from drum-tec, please feel free to get in touch through [e-mail] for further assistance. Kind regards!

What are the differences between this kit and td17kv?

[@panda_314]

In the KV, toms are mesh pads, and the module is bluetooth compatible

[@nofear6296]

Hi! Is this and the TD17-KLS are the same thing? Also can you mute the cymbals by the hand?

[@drumtecTV]

Hi! Yes it seems to be the same, I have no idea why we have the "KL" in europe and it´s called "KLS" in the US (?). The CY-8 cymbal pads are chokeable indeed! If you are looking for a nice affordable all-mesh configuration around the TD-17L module, please have a look at the TD-17KVL drum-tec mesh edition: www.drum-tec.com/roland-td-17kv-l-drum-tec-mesh-edition-with-live-sound-edition Kind regards!

is this drum a good choice for beginner? which is better overall, TD-11Kv or TD-17Kl?

Hi, the TD-17 is the newer model & has much better sounds/playability & features than the older TD-11. But it would be good to have mesh pads with it, have you checked out the TD-17KV?

[@drumtecTV]

I would suggest to get a full mesh kit for better playability, while the TD-17 is the more advanced sound module :) depends on what is more important to you. The TD-17KV has the TD-17, all mesh pads & the 12" PDX-12 snare pad, which makes it much more fun to play than both other models: www.drum-tec.com/roland-td-17kv/mds-compact-advanced-e-drums-incl.-live-sound-edition Kind regards!

[@enricomarchetti3402]

Can you connect an mp3 Player or a Pc to play along tracks? Cheers

[@drumtecTV]

Hey Enrico, yes you can! The module can play music directly from an sd card or you can connect any audio device with an audio cable. The regular TD-17 module also has bluetooth connectivity, which the TD-17L module that comes with the TD-17K-L kit does not have. Kind regards!

[@DaveYsraelSanJuan]

This or roland td 1 mdk? Which is better? Any differences?

[@DaveYsraelSanJuan]

Oh. Td 1 mdk sounds better after watching this vid.

[@drumtecTV]

The TD-17 is the more advanced module, which has more features & functions all around (for setting up trigger parameters, editing sounds etc). Sound as such is a very subjective topic, but generally speaking the TD-17 will do a better job at basically anything (triggering/playability, sound flexibility etc). But in the end it is all up to personal taste! :) kind regards

[@DaveYsraelSanJuan]

@@drumtecTV thank you for your opinion. Will consider this. :)

[@3therspark63]

I just got a td1 dmk and its really good but im gonna exchange it before my 30 days because the module just cannot be expanded. Cannot had any realistic cymbal like a cy13. The td17 module alone is the price of the upgrade from a td1dmk to a td17 kv so its a no brainer ;)

any sugestion to make td1dmk ride velocity bell on this kit ?

[@drumtecTV]

Hi Zac, what exactly do you mean? You mean how to get a bell sound from the CY-8 when connected to a TD-17 sound module? :) generally speaking, the module should give out bell sounds on the bow trigger zone, when hitting firmly. Since the CY-8 has no dedicated bell trigger zone, the bow zone processes high velocity strokes as bell sounds. Kind regards!

[@zacfarro8678]

@@drumtecTV nope, i mean td1dmk using CY-5 CYMBAL for the ride...on td1dmk CY-5 can produce bell ride sound at certain velocity while crash sound on bow.... so, if i buy CY-5 cymbal and use it as a ride on this TD17 module can i get the same or the exact experience bell ride sound like on TD1-DMK ? PS : sorry for my english

[@drumtecTV]

@@zacfarro8678 Hey Zac, as far as I know, triggers are identical on CY-5 and CY-8, they just have different sizes. Considering the little price difference, I would nonetheless prefer using a CY-8, CY-5 is REALLY small :) kind regards!

[@zacfarro8678]

@@drumtecTV CY-5 and CY-8 triggers are identical, but why CY-5 on TD1-DMK can produce bell sound at certain velocity but CY-8 can't produce bell sound on TD17KL module ? i mean like TD-1 is cheaper module but why TD17 that more expensive module can't mimic the same bell ride sound like CY-5 on TD1-DMK ? can you explain maybe.... :) regards

[@drumtecTV]

@@zacfarro8678 Hey Zac, I am not sure if this is really the case. Are you sure a CY-8 is not triggering bell sounds on the bow with high velocity on TD-17? I am currently not sure, it would make sense if it was the same way as with the TD-1 module :) Anyhow, a 3-zone cymbal like the CY-13R is a much more realistic option, but comes at a higher price unfortunately. Kind regards!

[@NeilDjents]

Does the L stands for Lite or Low???😂😂😂😂😂 but seriously for this low price you can not get anything better then this.

[@drumtecTV]

Yes I guess it stands for "lite" ;) kind regards!

In Poland there's a guy who makes electronic drums by himself (kind of acoustic convertion but veeeeery good). my set is kick 14, snare, 12, toms 10,10,12, every drum is a deep as a real snare and i have a 3zone ride and hh on a stand. unfortunatly i have it connected to td4 but with a module, total cost was about $1000 and it looks and feels incredible. I connect it to a VSTi anyway so module doesnt matter that much. perkusjaelektroniczna.pl/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Dig-Drum-nowa-kolekcja-087.jpg

[@keithwoodcrest]

Derek Frampton Pretty sure it's the same module all around, that's what I heard in other videos, but what changes is the kit itself. These cymbals are the CY8/CY5 models and the tom/snare pads are rubber and a smaller mesh model whereas the toms on the other toms are the 8" mesh and the snare is a 12" mesh model
