Roland TD4 Drum Kit Demo

[@PMTVUK]

Yes there is a record feature for this kit which allows you to instantly record any of your favourite beats.

[@PMTVUK]

This was from the main outputs L - R from the Roland TD-4 Brain, into the small mini jack input on a camera, you can get 2 x mono jack to mini jack cable and that will either go in the mic input on your camera or computer...

[@PMTVUK]

yes, one of the great features of the TD9 is you can customise any cymbals, change the sizes, and same with the drumsetc... if you are local to are store in Farlington, Portsmouth feel free to come by and try for yourself :)

[@gabbyabes]

Great demo and great playing! Thanks for the upload. I've been trying the decide whether to get the td4k or the td9k. With this demo, I think I'd be happy with the td4k.

[@PMTVUK]

hey dude, to answer your question. there are two controls one for tuning and one for muffling, you it hit the drum selecting the one you want to tune/muffle and use the rotary knob to adjust the tuning. also you can add an 1x extra crash to the setup.

[@lorenzokyusslp]

The best drums demo ever!

[@Archels]

ordered this drumkit a month ago and still waiting for it ... huugghhh cant wait to have it :o !!!!!

[@CAMOAH1]

Hi, good demo. I must say u have a wonderful talent as a drummer. I enjoyed ur demo

[@patrickkirby7612]

Oh whateva, I'm like 500 times better than him...at being bald.

[@PMTVUK]

This kit is primarily based upon a 5 piece practice kit, I would say it was worth checking the TD9 or above out if you are mainly looking at extention options.

[@PMTVUK]

No, but there is a kit preset on there with brush sounds. The pads are only triggers so really there like giant sensitive "play" buttons so it doesn't matter what you play them with. Obviously sticks would be the best method though ;)

[@PMTVUK]

@dopeydogdrummer It's mad some think we sped this up !! Little do they know its a one take wonder at the end of the day, I told jack ( our drum guy, dopey dog) to get through the kits as youtube has a limit of 10 mins. Congrats Jack, I'll turn the flame machine off next time !!

[@PMTVUK]

Nice playing Jack, D n B beats awesome....

[@vainparasite]

As an average guitarist and a half decent bassist im really in awe of people that can bang that well. It really is harder than it looks.

[@PMTVUK]

I would say the TD4-KX with mesh toms will be the best new buy... great sounds, great feel... and all for under £1000.00

[@PMTVUK]

We recorded audio outs straight to out video camera, but be careful that the camera inputs don't overload. Else record them on a separate recorder and sync them up after. Also be careful the auto limiter on the camcorder doesn't compress and "pump" the audio too much like 8.11 onwards....

[@PMTVUK]

@treesareourfriends01 Again, no sped up parts, automation or jackass used in this demo at all !! Our drum guy Jack is an awesome drummer and plays fast and accurate like a machine gun!! Thats what hours of practice ( that's why you get a V Drum kit , so you can play drums more ! ) does for you.

[@PMTVUK]

There is a dedicated tuning button, just press tuning, then hit the drum you wish to tune, and by using the rotary knob on the right you can tune down (left) or up (right)...

[@PMTVUK]

Yes, there are dual triggers which allow rimshots, you can see from the video above. x

[@gmnewell]

I recently got a used TD-3 ($400) and I love it... for a beginner. I could see, with a little practice, a TD-9 (minimum) is in my future.

[@ferreirinhajubal3238]

Congratulations on the video friend, I would like to know if this Bass Drum PAD supports double pedal?

[@nopeace821]

yes, i have the same kit and you can make your own drum set and yes you can change the drum sound in the kit. I just got it like 3 days ago and i am very happy about it.

[@7por7]

I bought a td-4 about 2 months ago to start learning..and i love it..

[@PMTVUK]

I would say that on paper there's only double the amount of kits, but the sounds from the TD9 are completely different. I also find the expression is better on the TD9. The easiest way to find out though is to A/B the two kits, that's when you can really here the difference.

[@PMTVUK]

Yes you can change the sounds that are on the rim seperately from the normal head sound.

[@PMTVUK]

yes, the snare trigger has a seperate rim trigger to give a realistic snare feel.

[@PMTVUK]

Yes you can upgrade to the TD9 brain, and the VH-11 is also compatible with the TD9, just a case of plug and play.

[@PMTVUK]

the only extention available on this kit is for an extra crash, but you can use a double bass drum pedal. :D

[@PMTVUK]

you can add any double pedal of your choice to the kit.

[@PMTVUK]

You cannot stack kits, but you can individually manipulate each drum and cymbal. Thanks for commenting.

[@PMTVUK]

I'm afraid there isn't like any drop clutch option, you would have to go into the individual pads and change the sounds manually but it is possible.

[@PMTVUK]

When you are playing in headphones you can't hear any sound what so ever, all you are left with is the stick hit sound, and tapping of the bass drum. I would say the hi hat isn't a problem at all, almost silent. The easiest way to combat the noise transferring through the floor is to use a shaped piece of carpet to lay underneath the KD8 Kick pad.

[@PMTVUK]

Could do either, for serious DB drumming get a decent double pedal, for occasional use, just assign the foot hi hat pedal to a Bass Drum sound and hey presto, double bass drum...

[@philraap]

5:51 i fell in love with this kit

[@TheoSakoutis]

I'm looking at buying a used TD-4 like this one or a Yamaha DTX-532K. This will be my first electronic kit. Any opinions on which one I should go for would be greatly appreciated..

[@PMTVUK]

Check out the Roland PM10 or PM30

[@PMTVUK]

yes just use a line input on the mac or use an usb external soundcard like a tascam us122..

[@PMTVUK]

Yeah no problem, will house any double bass pedal.

[@patriciodebarros]

Very, very, very, very nice drum'n'bass!!!

[@chowin52]

i think this module rocks. im getting one soon.

[@PMTVUK]

quite a big difference in cash, i really like the feel of the td9 with mesh pads but the td4 is only £839 compared to £1499

[@PMTVUK]

the new cable -to- brain leads are all connected into one loom so you can't just split one of the cables because each jack is wired into a scart like connection

[@PMTVUK]

yes you can, but you would have to use your original cables to hook it all up.

[@HEADSTOCK7]

5:52 that is fresh,, I love that muffled sweet, deep, rich neo soul type sound.....

[@lizsa12]

Awesome kit! What is your setting for the hi hat sensitivity of your Pad?

[@dreaminginnoother]

I got this kit and was excited about it til I watched this. Now i just want to quit drums:) sweet chops man. Good demo. I'm having a hard time getting the double kick to work well though because it seems like to get a full kick sound you have to hit it dead center

[@asskiesturnblack]

I think I was actually standing there when they filmed this...

[@vagbou]

Good performance bro!I'm thinking of buying this drumset but also found a used td-6.What do you suggest?

[@DocFlint]

awesome drumming, wow!

[@nytrayfl2]

So what's the verdict on these 10 years later?

[@PMTVUK]

Yes, just a case of swapping modules and pads over :)

[@Kenaiwolf]

It's a GREAT kit. There was too much attention focused on the snare and the snare-dominated rhythm throughout this demo. It doesn't show the full, diverse potential of the TD-4.

[@IansDrumsandBass]

Most drummers do that, play a solo when all we want to hear are the individual sounds, I normally turn it off out of frustration , like this one.

[@propiosuruguayitomon]

the best demo. Thank you

[@PMTVUK]

@kbarfels Not sped up dude, all real time, I promise.

[@Tinmansplace]

Awsome kit...and awsome drummer!!!

[@PMTVUK]

@zolonovich Use the aux in to play along....

[@silverfruit144]

Wow..........that looks cool, too bad im gonna play bass guitar, but I WILL LEARN THIS SOME DAY....or maybe electric guitar.......

[@PMTVUK]

yeah no worries, just need a midi to usb converter and jobs a good'n... good choice btw!

[@mecrop12]

i want to trigger my drumset will this work ok for it and how many extra ports are there for cymbals, toms. ect and if there isnt can you add on more?

[@PMTVUK]

yes, you can buy both mesh pads and the td9 brain indivdually.

[@frankmakak]

the kit at 6:30 is simply amazing!

[@delatroy]

@NevadaMusicUK what's the difference between the sx and kx?

[@GishoDinev]

Can you record it in some software (Cubase for ex.) as in midi, but still use his own kits, or you need a vst plugin ?

[@ChocolateTampon]

ok, I'm sold. Getting one of these :)

[@reflectstorm57]

Hello, good game ;) it is possible to use the charley's foot for make a double bass ?

[@DirEnGreyRule]

Can some tell me, i know with some of the other td drum kits, they have a kit which turns the hi hat pedal into a second bass peddle, does the td4 have that??

[@24bytesandpieces]

Really love the part at 06:54!

[@fossilisedmuso]

Is it possible to set this kit up for a left-hander ?

[@Wien71]

I have ordered one of these aswell, but I'm not getting it for about 1-2 weeks even tho I have waited over a month already:(

[@Lukeff7]

That kit sounds great, also impressed at how beefy it sounds at 5:07 ahaha. Made me laugh!

[@masterzui]

can i set this up for a left handed drummer?

[@aldrin81]

umm does this drums make alot of noise like when you hit the cymbal it makes alot of vibrations. DOes it make alot of vibration on the floor?, And whats the loudest part of the drums is it the kicking the rubber toms or the cymbals?

[@jaydoode15]

Does it come with any songs built in, and whats worth more for the money this or the dtxplorer?

[@CharacterToyStore]

which roland kit would you recommend buying - with value for money in mind but not the HD1? how expandable is this TD4? thanks

[@AntoineZ]

7:30 damage, it is electronic, you can not stop !! ^^'

[@christoff1499]

you can muffle it.

[@M5xThully]

Between the Td3,4,6,7, which set would be the best in terns of performance and price?

[@munchdonuts]

im torn between the two, alesis DM10 or roland TD-4K what you guys think!??!

[@Deluxeta]

Totally worth it!

[@WIM8]

is it possible to apply rim shots to the kit?

[@1980aankrah]

I got a set of these for my birthday. and I thought I was sick on them. ^__^ ....until I just watched this Vid just now then was like o.O Mann. You are awesome. AWEsome though.

[@Spre4]

I have 2 questions Can you put a Double bass pedal on the set and is it possible to add more cymbals ?

[@TheCregBoy]

Just ordered mine

[@marlonchik]

good drummer, good sound)

[@TheGoldenInfinite]

does anyone know how to tighten the hihat without holding down the pedal like for instance if your using a double bass drum????????? can sommeone please show me thank you

[@anthoniiB]

I think I will buy a TD-4 but I really want one more cymbal or tom. I've heards about 'splitters', they're cables wich you can use them to acoplate one more thing (tom/cymbal/etc.) to your set. Can I do this with the TD-4? Will I have another sound for my 'new thing' o ir won't work? THANKS :D

[@ethan7447]

@kbarfels Can you fit a double pedal on that bass? Thanks!

[@WIM8]

is it possble to do rim shots at all?

[@MikeDdrum88]

zup man, wanna know if i can connect other pads to that module? at least 2 more pads?? thx

[@joffile1]

great video

[@realtimshady1]

Is it true that you have to place the modul inbetween the two toms so you have to watch not to hit the display

[@LENNyLEMONADe]

can you get this sound just by recording it straight into the computer?

[@monogiant23]

@CurtisMitchell7 how can you record straight into your computer?

[@PMTVUK]

check our website, links in blue top right

[@siiimbulan]

Does the Roland TD-4 VDrum Module work with the Alesis DM6 Kit?

[@guylaingendron2443]

Yes

[@Vartex]

Yeah i would only buy an HD1 Just to mess around with or if your seriously out of space but for a couple hundred more you could get a nice TD-4 With so many capabilities.

[@eirik22]

@Spre4 yes you can have double pedal! you can add 1 more cymbal or tom. :)

[@punkemogeekrock]

Oh cool! Was it just line out into the recording device or was it midi out, then using some sort of virtual instrument?

[@doritowarrior]

It's actually very easy to add another cymbal, the jackplug for the third cymbal is already attached. The drumkit in total costed me 1214 euro's. That's without an extra cymbal and with a Pearl 902 double bass pedal. An extra cymbal will cost you about 100$ I think (cymbal + stand). So Td4+bass pedal+extra cymbal would be 1000+100+100= 1200 dollars

[@Venkman1357]

Could I record a song and then transfer the said recording to my computer?

[@munchdonuts]

@itsB0BBY thanks alot man. that helped me more! i agree with you! here i go TD-4k!

[@keremgokturkulutas4786]

Does snare have a click or just has rimshot on it?
