Roland's new TD 4 electronic drum kit on demo now at PMT - Professional Music Technology ! Check out our own in-store demo too!!!
• Roland TD4 Drum Kit Demo
The Roland TD4K V-Drum Kit takes over where the TD-3 left off except that the TD-4 has a host of new features and four times the wave memory of its predecessor ... There's also a new re-enforced drum stand that's still just as lightweight and compact but now a whole lot stronger, aside from the new stand Roland have supplemented the TD-4 with a centre mounted sound module that contains new sounds and sensors within the pads that have an even greater degree of touch sensitivity ...
The snare pad has a patented mesh head for improved feel and resonance, whilst the toms and cymbals are velocity sensitive with the cymbals also having a "choke" capability.The TD4K is also expandable to include an optional pad or if preferred the user can replace the ride cymbal to a CY-12R/C 3-way trigger V-Cymbal, the kit is also compatible with the optional VH-11 V-Hi-Hat which can be mounted on a conventional hi-hat stand.
Pre-programmed kit patches can be customised by the ability to tune and dampen each drum to the user's own preference whilst ambient effects such as reverb can also be controlled to suit the occasion.To improve your playing skills Roland have also included their acclaimed Coach Mode which tests and trains drumming skills such as timing, accuracy and stamina. The Coach programme offers a diverse range of drumming excercises that can run for 5, 10 or 15 minutes and are ideal as warm-up routines for live gigs or studio sessions ...

I'm just in awe of his skills! Amazing, and so inspired

[@SuperChuck3]

That's for sure. It is an awesome kit with a decent module that you can upgrade later. It's the same kit as the TD-9. I'm getting this once I go off the university in the new few years.

[@bradwisebeats5158]

One thing about people that demo these kits, they have an insane knowledge of different drum styles and patterns. The versatility is impressive. Wondering about the "time coach" though because I would imagine that if you have any swing, it wouldn't show 100% on time but it wouldn't be wrong.

[@chassy]

This guy is awesome. Funny character and he's got the grooves too.

[@cashgarrett3507]

This guy is as tight and precise as Buddy Rich. Whatever program that's installed to gauge precision is obviously off. He was right dead on point, 100%. This review convinced me to buy the set off of eBay on August 7, 2017.

[@rimshot150]

wow! johnny rabb is so sick demo-ing these roland v-drums! makes it look real fun and easy! he's great on live drums as well!

[@PMTVUK]

There is no better overall kit at this money. Great sounds, feel, and reliability. A smart long term investment.

[@superjules]

The face at 3:42 is a crack up.

[@mohaawwkk3163]

I now watch that moment almost daily haha

[@jeromed2]

lol

[@shivagautamachristchan9710]

He looks beautiful

[@raisatwika1232]

The way his face turns to normal after making that face cracks me tf up

[@Throughtheeyesofalegend]

Bruh 💀

[@dFaultGamer]

Got this kit, it is awesome!

[@asturel13]

Hi mate, yeah you can play just about anything you want on them. This demo really doesnt do the kit justice. I play everything from rock to death metal on mine. I love it man!

[@Wiru77]

ive seen this like a thousand times!!! i want one :(

[@G92G]

ordered it today, absolutely buzzing!

[@tackywacky99]

@Sephaer the mesh pads for the 2 toms and floor bass is not required since you dont really hit the rim that often, i suggest getting the regular td-4 and buy another cymbal to add for a china and also another bass pedal because td-4kx only has 1 pedal although it is displayed with 2

[@syzeone71]

Im getting one too... cant wait. TD-4SX BAYBEH!

[@JoeSzilagy]

@moonlight4yuki I hope so! I'm getting the TD4K2, and am returning a set made by another company that had tons of great sounds (including China cymbals), fantastic price, but a module that does weird stuff- which is why I'm sticking to Roland, which I should have done in the first place!

[@halonerd04]

i hope i could get one of these this summer

[@thejohnlaco]

@izizrod yes most electronic drumsets come with the rack to mount them on

[@yittmashups]

yeah, it's got an extra cord in the bunch of cords to put one more cymbal or pad. you just need to buy the pad or cymbal and it hooks in

[@Greennaxx123]

@Myrdred001 i got the kit and have just ordered the CY-12 R/C, and no you can´t have the 2 cy-8 and a cy-12 because the cy-12 needs a second trigger cable to get the bell ... but of course you can have a third cymbal (also the cy-12 but without the cy-12's bell trigger)

[@Jacksoni69]

yeah it might work, my friend has tried it and it worked for him with guitar hero: metallica :) and yeah the hi hat response is very close to a real hi hat and its not laggy at all.

[@Xavierr220]

@NoobTheShow24 Thx thats what i was thinking too. I really want the Acoustic but that does make more sense to get the electric one. Thx for the info.

[@SuperVorbild]

@Wiru77 When i saw the roland td 9 a watched it thousand of times and now i am watching the Roland Td 20 kx thousand of times :D

[@Jacksoni69]

@jhlfig yes it is, i have the td4kx and the touch is GREAT :D

[@burubura]

what a nice drum set to play!!!

[@ashcherry2795]

Charlie Sheen Doppelganger... Even sounds like him..

[@ExEurasian]

This guy is incredible..

[@CloudOfDarkness9999]

@CherokeeMusic OMG !! It's true... so dave must be a master guitarsmen and a pro drummer!

[@bbbystrzak]

King of the E-Drums

[@wakawakashixiang]

Don't know which is more sick.. The drums or his drumming,, hahaa

[@IanCanefire]

no MIDI in or thru. Only MIDI out. Only one MIDI CC#4 Foot controller for HiHat. It can do MIDI program changes for 1-25 (0-24 on the unit). It transmits note numbers on keys 0-127, and off. Obviously it does transmits velocity. Therefore it is okay to control another sound module. thru it's midi out port. The trick is to use this as a hybrid kit. Use a real hihat and stand with this kit and you will be happy. In studio you then only have to mic the HH.

[@jaykal6538]

my old roland kit did a thing like a midi clog ( but not a midi clog) where sometimes the snare doesn't trigger when in perfect sync with hitting another pad, does this generation of module or kit still do that?

[@gunni449]

Gonna get one

[@SanderBakkerMusic]

Yes, retopyra you can add an extra cymbal to the set

[@NoobTheShow24]

@guitargod909 Yes yopu should definetly buy an electric before acoustic. You can plug your headphones straight into it and you can plug it into your computer to record. Electronic is better for beginners and recording, since for acoustic you have to buy a seperate mic for each part of the drum.

[@elbocho19]

wow this is pretty sick!!! 7:20 - 8:15 just tight!

[@kushking420]

@CherokeeMusic that guy is johnny rabb he's a crazy good drummer

[@doughnutter14]

@Sephlolege yeah it has rim shot i got this just yesterday and its amazing!!! :D

[@neilp0164]

Don't be fooled about the 'easy to reach module' depending on how you have the toms, it's always in the way

[@ryanwilliams6602]

lol i just got this kit used and had that problem when putting it together. i just put the toms on first and the module above it. now it feels just like a real drum set. not sure why they advertise it with the module in the way lol.

[@dewdude2112]

Not true at all. It sits way in the middle. If it's "in the way"....just move them apart SLIGHTLY. I keep mine close and can still access the module just fine.

[@jmb92555]

dayum, that guy is good

[@allstar550]

Rub a Dub Dub. I can't wait to get this set. I need something to practice on while I'm attending college, considering I'm a percussion major. ^_^

[@RideandPoetry]

This stuff is very good

[@JandTnz]

@marioyoshi23 You can plug head phones into the module on it's left side. Get to practice nice and quiet.

[@sthnwatch]

Ughh! I want one!

[@molinaro_ink]

shuahsuahs look at his face at 3:44 ushaushau very funny, but serious, really nice vid

[@Micheaw6]

with these electronic drum kits you never hear that special resonance of a cymbal. wawwwawwwawww xD

[@thebeginningofsorrows7500]

I disagree, edrums have the best sounding cymbals and drums. I tried for decades to get a decent sound out of my acoustic kit - not possible unless you're in a studio, and the noise! Too terrible. There's only 2 places to use an acoustic kit - outdoors or at a rock concert.

[@bassjorge]

yes you can

[@Rogers1977]

dude, I saw him at this same exact booth!!

[@ThatMortgageDad]

@rabbit221 yeah you can! I am thinkin about doing the same thing

[@Moleman77]

@nengstro Don't think you can get that kit for the same price... IMHO you can't really get any other kit this good in this price range.

[@CedricDrumcovers]

i have that kit and i love it!!! thumbs up if you have it 2

[@nikitakornyushenko3268]

Hey Johnny, thank you for that nice video! I have one question for you. I have the same drum kit but it doesn't sound like yours, so it's more electronic than your acoustic sound. What do you think I can check in order to set up my kit to acoustic sound? I checked different styles of drum kit but it doesn't work, I use JBL flip 2 headphones for outside sound, it seems that is also not the case.

[@plessdrums]

I like roland!!!

[@ViniciusDinizDrums]

Rabb's Skill level: GOD

[@mario94parrain]

i love this guy ! and it's awsome !

[@GrimacesGameNuggets]

@TOTALITARIO999 Yes, you can.

[@DugiDevetCarabolium]

7 :33 grawity blast XD

[@Gretchluver1]

It wouldn't be a Johnny Rabb performance without one!

[@Nile505]

I wish my td9 had a coach like that

[@fcweddington]

@ProtoType989 Just get a double-pedal. Any other way would be terrible, e.g., making hi-hat control into a bass pedal, etc.

[@leewilliams.380]

DamnZzzz you’re good

[@m4gunner25]

WINNING!

[@ProDigit80]

Pitty they didn't equip the ride with a second trigger/piezzo for the bell! And pitty they didn't make a lite drum set like the HD-1. I miss a 2 or 3 way cymbal on the HD-1,as well as MIDI over USB

[@alfista16]

Of course. This will cost something more, though, but the feeling you get is worth it. :)

[@jellyboy123]

love this kit but i like the mesh head version more.

[@professoriAurinko]

@SonnyTheBeast Yes.

[@admsitio]

Freakin awesome!

[@Antwon27FTW]

if u want tovplay the ride really loud will it make the bell sound? cus that would be annoying

[@user-of2uu5uf2l]

Good machine.

[@DEMPSEYSaBADASS]

I have never had a drum kit before and i want to learn how to play drums, but i cant have an acoustic ones because my parents say its to loud. Is this the drum kit for me?

[@000djw000]

At 2:20 when he records then presses play, it is like the recording playback animated his body and he can't stay still haaa

[@balcrstephens]

I know all these "kits" are cool , but can you set any sound to any pad????

[@NateMchaggis]

@nufc6scott i think you can plug it into the AUX jack in brain.

[@liennto]

Johnny is hilarious! some bad grooves he played there too

[@VulgarythmKylePecino]

im thinking of getting an electronic drum set, but not for practice. im planning on performing electronic music live and was wondering if this kit allows me to upload my own sounds into it??? not in kit form, but individually upload a kick drum, snare drum, etc, etc

[@jbblra8]

there is one in the hd-1 but im not sure about the td-4

[@fredfo]

@marioyoshi23 Yes you can.

[@CaptainBasch1]

0:14 BEST FACES EVER SEEN

[@jigi102]

@ahs0404 yes you can

[@dhArska]

I have little problem with those cymbals, when i hit cymbals to make continuing sound, if you know what or i hit the cymbals and then fast try to make a fill, the cymbals sound stops, i dont know, if those cymbals are played too long or it is the module ?

[@emrekazak]

Problem is too much volume i think. Triggers dont love too much stage volume.

[@jayfbee]

awesome

[@EdW83]

Alguém em 2022 ?? Tenho essa batera área hoje hehe

[@sharkster1969]

"The ultimate practice kit". So not a serious kit to buy and output to a stage rig and play live? Or am I getting the wrong message? The sounds and functions seem pretty impressive though.

[@Jacksoni69]

@ak9jsz no problem :)

[@HEADSTOCK7]

@NevadaMusicUK what kind of money are we looking at.. in USD if you can????, I am a guitarist but I play drums too and I would just love to have this babe in my mini studio...

[@ClintGamree]

I have this kit, and it sounds great, just like the video :). Great for practice although i wouldn't recommend it for playing in bands(of course) But its still one AWESOME practice and play around kit. 5/5

[@dewdude2112]

Ridiculous. Sounds GREAT with the full band. Or course the better your PA and monitors.... the better it sounds.

[@Ivuspp]

RABB IS THE MASTER!

[@onedeadcrow666]

does anybody who owns this kit know if it would be safe to transport this kit from say one house to an other and also aprox how long does it take to set up

[@TheoSakoutis]

I'm looking at buying this kit or a Yamaha DTX-532K. This will be my first electronic kit. Any opinions from my fellow drummers as to which one you would go for would be appreciated..

[@SHADOWBRAN2]

someone help , is there a way to add extra cymbal pads?

[@Jacksoni69]

This guy is actually a really good drummer. ;D

[@dhArska]

Does this kit have rimshots ?

[@Ivuspp]

jay rabb is the master!

[@ciano15]

has anyone who has this kit gotten the cy-12 ride for it? i read a review that said that the cy-12 only has the 3 way(edge,bow,bell) compatible with the td9 and higher modules. so does anyone know is the cy-12 pad would have the bow,bell,ride zones on a td4 module? im really tired of having to beat the hell out of my ride to get a bell sound.

[@eirik22]

@ahs0404 yes you can :)

[@Jacksoni69]

@ak9jsz yea i'm sure-sure :)

[@mymd11]

I am interested in a electric drum set. Can anyone tell if Roland Td-7 or yamaha express is better? Which should I go with? I do not know anything about e drums. Please help!

[@DeltaStudios1]

@Wiru77 Haha same :D

[@lastplacewin]

damn this looks like fun. how much this goes for in USD?

[@MrNDUDE16]

I got this

[@SShireto]

yeah

[@TheGamingDandy]

Is reggae the only drum setting that gives the cross stick sound? And one other question, is it possible to set individual pads to different drum kit sounds, or do they all have to be the same one at the same time?

[@rabbit221]

Would I be able to take this and run it into Garage band with an audio interface? If I can, this is being purchased with my next check lol
