Roland V-Drums - Setting Up Your V-Drums Kit Correctly

[@briananderson355]

This is outstandingly helpful! I've already learned what I've wanted to know and I haven't even watched a full minute yet.

[@lefthandcrust]

I just bought my first Roland ekit, a TD-07DMK. Im 6'4 and didn't realize how TINY this kit is and im having issues, thank you for the informative video

[@glennhn188]

Setting up a kit tomorrow for the first time :) thank you for this video

[@frankbright7788]

Thank You for this - VERY HELPFUL. So many people just assume everyone knows the basics. But how and where? So again, THANKS!

[@elliotrichards7751]

Just bought the td25k kit and this helped me a ton

[@Surge_LaChance]

Glad I watched this. Thank you for the wisdom and advice!

[@ericiidx]

Thanks for the tip about head tension! All of the setup documentation (and other info) simply suggests to "tighten the heads to where they feel like acoustic drums." I've never touched an acoustic drumset!

[@traceyowen3684]

Just starting out. Excellent help in setting up. Thanks.

[@CarlyWaarly]

About to buy this, thinking about the 11kv or the 15 for a tad more! Very helpful thank you!

[@jarsshew2722]

Which one did you end up buying?

[@acward2007]

Good info as always. Great kit too!

[@donniefisk2252]

good advice, also good advice to apply to acoustic drums

[@marcjourdain299]

Vert useful tank you from france

[@peanutismint]

Really helpful - thanks guys!

[@PhireXZ]

great video but theres no reference shot of what he setup, it's from the worst angle possible to figure out how to configure it the same way

[@rjsal246]

Ashley Feder 100% agree with you I didn’t learn anything from that demonstration they need to hire a camera guy or something lol

[@jasonnesmith8397]

Agree.

[@ronniek7748]

Looks like that’s a TD11 or 15 brain. Curious as to know what’s snare sound that is, because it sounds awesome.

[@quinny2931]

Cheers Mate 👍

[@josephwisniewski8435]

I think an overhead shot would be helpful to add... it looks like the second Tom is hooked to the right side curved bar?

[@livingthelife4710]

Can you do a video on the settings to get a good sound that’s one of the issues I am struggling with and I have a td17 ksv2 Roland kit

[@ahmedzribi9606]

this information is really important Thnx Dude and great video i like it .

[@javierserranoyoutube]

Thank you for posting. I just got a used td-11 kv and the rack is set up wrong. Will be cutting cable ties and redoing it. Wish me good luck.

[@earlteigrob9211]

No overhead shot to see exactly the positioning of the kit. What where you thinking???

[@braydenbennett8063]

My struggle comes with the bass drum pedal moving around too much. How do I set this up properly?

[@jasonnesmith8397]

I agree. Kick moves a lot. I put a weight behind mine.

[@astronaut2005drummer]

I like the kit! :)

[@cstppvi8564]

how did you change the Tom setting? one in front and two on the side?

[@notsogreatcourier9536]

he moved them, its not that hard

[@michaelkonopka9607]

Hi sir Your picture is so dark it’s hard to really see , I’m having a hard time fitting my two high Tom’s just like yours flat at a slight angle except both Tom’s stay on top ,but the frame stabilizer bar keeps getting in the way. Is there a trick or something I’m missing??? I was wondering if you ever answer questions? If ya do ,do ya have any suggestions?😊thanks

[@lannyrubin2600]

Hi Craig. I have two questions for you. First let me say I enjoyed this little set up lesson thank you. So I have been playing in a band and noticed that my ride cymbal seems to over ring instead of a nice CRISP sound. It almost seems like the sound lingers a bit. which becomes annoying. What do I need to adjust on my Roland v drum settings. also I noticed in your kit that you set up the 2nd tom as if it were a floor tom instead of two next to each other on the kick drum position. Do you find it more comfortable or does it help to position the ride cymbal in a more comfortable spot. Thank you in advance for your help. Lanny

[@scootscoot97warlock90]

Can we position the Tom on any bar we want as in any order or configuration? my instructions had me mouth one Tom to the left bar and to Tom's on the right bar , which is completely stupid, now I have a Tom up over my snare and to all the way on the right side. I feel like just forgetting the instructions and putting them where I want them and see if I can make it work that way.

[@simonemaselli8310]

which is the pedal that he use in the video???

[@walker2980]

Always wanted to try electronic. Always played acoustic,but i worry cause i hit the high hat with my left...so...dk how that would work on these?

[@gertzpalma]

Thanks!

[@mustaqrajan2901]

Hi, guys my v-drum ...... the drum styles keep changing whilst playing ..... e.g. from rock to pop and so ..... any suggestions on how resolve this ??

[@NiCoLoCor]

I'm looking to add an extra cymbal to my TD11k to have two crash + one ride.. How can I fix it to the rack? the Roland cymbal stand cost too much. Can I use other stand? Thanks !

[@laurdessvalentino5849]

Of course you can use another stand

[@Exchangestudentsrentals]

good video

[@WinchesterRoad]

Why the hell would you set this up on a completely black background so no one can really see anything?

[@kanemac857]

I plug in my usb, and none of my music shows up, any help? theyare MP3 format

[@joemigliaccio7885]

Was wondering if you can configure the td-17 to have one rack Tom and two floor toms. Anyone know if possible or practical?

[@haekalbadjeber988]

what is that pedal

[@Kohbruh]

Dude, angle?

[@pukka2112]

just saying with the roland td-6v u can add a splitter cable and get 2 extra drums!

[@dftfry1568]

Can the snare higher than your knee?

[@piercetanner]

mryhnp Wondering this too. I don’t like punching my leg when I play, and I also want the snare to be high enough to where I can do rimshots. Did you ever find out if this is possible?

[@ronniek7748]

I’m having this very same problem. When I play my acoustic kit 90% of the time I’m hitting rim shots. I can’t seem to get this snare high enough to do this easily without punching up my left leg.

[@jasonnesmith8397]

My snare wont stay in place. No matter how much I tighten it. Keeps tilting to the right.

[@goodsmile5170]

Wires I need help with these damn wires

[@etrg494]

HOPELESS, what about the Hi Hat setup. It didn't help.

[@HARRYRUSHAKOFFBONGOLOID]

how helpful is this guy you guys are all grateful to him... Always talking about his physical position nothing about using the brain ... do you... not know how to set up your kit ... what a waste of GBS

[@philfyphil]

+Harry Rushakoff - Craig is advising on a very specific subject not going off at a tangent. Perhaps you may want to try searching for another episode which deals more about 'using the brain!'. Maybe you would like him to include a recipe for tomato soup in the same session as well, or perhaps how to split the atom! I have just purchased the TD15 and this is a great starter session for a guitar player like me learning the drums for the first time and wanting to start by learning how to sit properly behind a kit. ;-)

[@danielnradu]

Did you catch the title "Setting up your V-Drums kit"? My guess would be it's a video about setting up your V-Drums kit.

[@bornbaad9214]

What a bellend

[@eli23nyc]

For real?????

[@goodsmile5170]

Wtf 🤬
