Roland V-Drums TD-27KV Electronic Drum Kit | Demo and Overview with Thomas Lang

[@EndreeNerd]

It seems that machine-gunning edrums are some of most precious memories of the 20th century that Roland decided to preserve and pass on to our grand-grand children. The same league as the Beatles and the Moon landing.

[@dumpygoodness4086]

they should call that the BRUFORD Setting, ha ha

[@dubuis69]

They are all crap! They break with that level of strikes in a month, then you loose your kit for a month and out shipping cost for repair, for a year's time. Good luck repairing a year later without having to buy costly parts and licking into a decent pizeo mailed to you. The price of upkeep and aggravation of shipping time lost on the kit should greatly depreciate the value of sale. The second you buy this kit it depreciates 75%

[@drftr6073]

Guy goes out of his way to tell you that the rag can withstand all kinds of playing and yknow i would assume durability wouldn't be something that they make compromises in when releasing cheaper kits. I own a td11 and i'm pretty sure there is no point to a durable rag if your cymbal's gonna die out less than a year later with not too frequent and gentle use.

Thomas lang is such a fun and talented(versatile) drummer and these drums sound great. I just ordered a set cuz I can't play my acoustic kit where I live. Finally I can play them like he does cuz when I tried them in the store and really started getting into it, they told me I was gonna have a heart attack 😆🤣 great video and playing 😎👍👏

[@betothelerch8937]

It's 2020 and roland can't make a sound module that doesnt "machine gun." It sounds essentially like my TD 11 module that's over 10 years old. I just dont understand!

[@Scodge]

Yeah I bought a td17kvx quite recently and honestly other than having bigger pads and cymbals, there isn't anything standout here for me that would warrant the extra £1000 or so spent

[@mramenlordi3098]

Agreed, it's a shame

[@mikko9849]

How dare you compare the mighty td11kv to this garbage. Td11kv sounds 1000x better if you know how to tweak it.

[@OnBendedKneeMusic]

Just by a used Roland, Yamaha kit (you can find them for around $500) and trigger Addictive Drums or Superior Drummer. REAL drum samples that sound incredible. More than a few great albums I know of have been recorded using that software.

[@mrolinad]

Sound samples remind me the ones I used to play on keyboards. I'm talking about the 90's keyboards.

[@JakeOseland]

Mind blowing how out of touch Roland are with the actual sounds

[@justaname1862]

Learn how to use one...and programme it. They were all factory programmed kits

[@PoltergeistWorks]

I absolutely agree, there is nothing you can do to those sounds to make it sound good. For that kind of money it's still useless without using it as a controller for a GOOD drum VST :(

[@rtimmins7212]

its true. I have a TD 20 kit. As soon as I started using Addictive Drums I literally have not used the stock sounds one time.

Thomas is the perfect drummer for exposing TD27s machine gun sounds. Why on earth did Roland choose him to do the presentation?

[@jonknestrick5219]

All I could think was how unnatural that sounds with such sharp attack and decay with no real sustain.

[@DethoticA]

Save your tons of bucks. Buy the cheapest possible electronic drumkit and connect it to Superior Drummer 3.

But that build quality though, cheap kit will break and have to be replaced alot.

[@lizardz23]

Absolutely, I have a £300 TDX model, can't remember which one, hooked up to GGD invasion, sounds brilliant, and the kit build is solid.

[@Serpenthunter1]

Ok and how would one achieve this? Please inform. I have a roland td50kv. How can i hook it up to superior drummer 3 in a live setting? Also will the responsive drum pads of the roland kit work with the software for dynamics and cymbal mutes and such? Please inform me..... [e-mail]

[@podhditalia]

don't agree. cheaper models also mean less sensitivity, less dynamic pad "areas", and the likes. you need high quality, high-engineered pads AND a good sampler. a BS kit with SD3 won't cut it. otherwise what's the point of having 1000 dynamic layers when your kit will "read" only 2?

[@OnBendedKneeMusic]

I agree! A used Yamaha e kit triggering REAL drum samples from SD or Addictive Drums will blow these sounds away.

[@mr.galactic8064]

This is the savior for all drummers who doesn't want to piss their neighbors off xD

[@resisttrump4467]

Thomas Lang is one of the most under rated drummers out there. And what Roland did was make the e-kit more compact and streamlined. Stop ragging on Roland. It’s a good strong company with a solid product. Alexa has really stepped its game up, check those e- kits out. Ekits have their purpose. And nothing compares to a true acoustic drum kit, but how many times do the cops have to knock on your door, or place of worship. Just sayin \m/

[@aportilla007]

[@spideliciousx9822]

I have this kit and hardware/brain module wise, its freaking OUTSTANDING. Simply the best E-Kit you can buy imo. Absolutely love it. The triggering and nuance is near perfect. BUT.......... The included sample kits are terrible! Roland really needs to let a "drummer" design/pick the pre-installed kits included because they weren't even close to anything useful or sound nice imo. Even just one kit in there, just as a standard, crisp generic drum kit off the music shop showroom floor would even suffice?!?! I immediately went in and designed my own setup, which yes, you would or should do anyway and yes, the module has some great sounding various instruments and I've been able to craft some great sounding kits I love. But again, its biggest downfall is the quality and variety of kit/instrument variations. It may have over 700 sounds, but heaps in there are "filler" garbage that I'll never use (yes, you need sounds in there to satisfy all musical influences, fair enough). Anyways, it sux's to have a "ranty" comment, as I immensely enjoy and love my TD27, I've even upgraded the Bass drum to an acoustic type for better presence (but still using the KD10) and used other acoustic elements to build a hybrid kit. So if Roland somehow see's this ....... outstanding kit, but give us some better kit samples in future firmware updates please? We pay a hefty sum for these kits, I think we deserve it?

A major problem I find with the TD27 is the lack of ready to go sounding kits. Most of the pre installed kits need to be mixed and adjusted to get them to sound good. Most of them sound flat and muffled. I actually preferred my TD12s kits over this one. But the amount of adjustments are very impressive.

As an older player of a traditional wood hoop drum set (can't believe I typed that), I wonder if my physical drumming strength would be the same had I played an electronic kit for 35 years? As I learnt to play piano & drums by ear, I also question if I would be satisfied without the real crack of a wooden snare, especially that sweet spot 'ring' that only comes from practice? Do owners of these like them and use them often?

[@jeansonne100]

I have the next model under this one and it sounds way better than what’s in this video. I don’t think anyone who worked on this shoot knows how to set the drums up. I think the sensitivity was way too high and almost every hit Thomas made hit max trigger, making every hit sound identical.

[@squoblat]

Doesn't sound like much of an improvement from the kits I was playing 10 years ago. The tech is cool but it still translates in a way that's just as sterile as the much older mesh head kits. You really need to bring some life into the cymbals too, I can't believe at the price this commands you can't introduce a lot more organic nuance in the hats.

I think this product it's brained to fit in a lot of genres, but most of the coments are from people wishing a "real drums set" emulation only. This demo shows a few kits but only 1 or 2 are a classic drum set, i think that the others kits worried so much people with that 80s synthethic and "etnic" sounds. It's natural (and smart) that this product offers something else for those who are searching this type of tool. There should be 2 demos, one for "emulation" and other for "versatility".
