I agree. This is 100% the best this kit has sounded on any single demo Mostly including Roland’s own demo. It’s totally insane.

[@mattryan6886]

@@PEP. I’m with you there. I don’t understand al the hate this module gets. The prismatic sound engine cymbals sound fantastic to me on al the mew kits 07/17/27/50x. I also see lots of people say they hear “machine gunning” on td-50, maybe I’m deaf or dumb , I don’t detect any of that MG effect at all. The new updates sounds on 50 have been long time coming. There was quite a drop in number of sounds from td-30 to td-50 and I absolutely understand the gripes about that. I also understand some people don’t like the “ Roland sound” it’s definitely has some extra processing and that’s not for everybody. I have both td-17 and the strike module. Love the drum sounds on my strike, but imo the cymbals sound soooo much better on Roland modules. Great looking kit, I’ll neve be able to afford one unless I win lottery or something similar, it’s nice to look and dream tho

I am always truly shocked when hearing the roland drum sounds "out of the module" (no editing/no vst)! Guys, i strongly recommend the pearl mimic pro module, for me it is the end of the line module! I am using the mimic in combination with drum-tec 14´ and 13´ snares (+old roland td-20x toms/bassdrum) and ATV-Cymbals; my dream comes true haha!!! I dont understand why Roland Sounds are this bad for a flagship module! I truly like Roland Hardware but the drum-sounds are a complete no-go!

[@sierratrey]

I second that recommendation. Pearl mimic pro is worth every single penny. Although you must admit with this guy demonstrating these kits, Roland should be very grateful. It doesn’t matter what kit he can make them sing as good as anyone.

[@tbip2001]

I honestly thought it was just me At the price the sounds are 'ok' . I don't get why roland can't produce something better. I really think they will have to up their game sound wise with things like the mimic etc

[@sierratrey]

@@tbip2001because they really don’t need to economically. You’re gonna be hard pressed to convert Roland faithful to Pearl.

Me, I’m a Hyundai owner so I had no problem upgrading to a Mimic. 😂

I own the Cherry VAD706, and it's BRILLIANT. I came back to rewatch this video, the one that convinced me Roland was my future. Things: The hi hats are sublime!! You don't have to think about playing them. You just... play. They're perfect. Digital snare is fantastic, but the module is so much better that it makes the snare great. I plugged my Strike pad into the module and it's better and more sensitive than with the Strike module. Digital ride is really sweet, but in my use, it's not much different. Not knocking it, hear me. It's a beaut. But the same test with my Strike ride, the Strike ride is well upgraded with the Roland module, that it's enough for me. Jazz players may disagree, and demand the digital ride. EVERY PIECE is high quality, down to the hardware and anti spin cymbal bits. Heads, shells, even the packaging was outstanding. Better than my brand new acoustic kit was packed. Sounds awesome, plays awesome, looks awesome. I could NOT be happier, regardless the price. Could've got way more pieces, drums cymbals etc with other brands, but I wanted THE BEST.

Awesome drumming like usually, Ralf! Thanks for this! The responsiveness on the snare, the ride and the hats is second to none and best in class. The sounds are usually over-processed, especially snare and kick. However, they sound nice for a drum module and could be used in live situations (most people wouldn't recognize a difference anyway). What still drives me NUTS though are those toms, because they still sound (and always did) like plastic trash cans on ANY Roland module. So, if you'll spend 8k on an electronic drum kit, just go the extra mile then and invest a few hundred bucks more for Superior Drummer or EZDrummer or any other decent VST.

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you Mike! :)

[@carlosturciosolivera1899]

Same opinion about the Toms. IDK why Roland can get it right. For $8k you would expect a flawless kit , no excuses. For me: The Mimic Pro still sounds better , more realistic. I would give Roland kudos on the cymbals though: they sound amazing.

[@MarkuzP66]

Hey Mike, exactly my opinion! I think Roland did a great job with those Pads and the X upgrade is a step better than the old version but still not like it should be in 2021! They must reinvent the module and put some more memory in the box to get multilayered samples with round robin like in the mimic.

[@demonicsweaters]

Without commenting on the obvious (price) which I'm sure most people will be talking about in the comments already, honestly I think the kick drum is just too big on these sets. It looks completely out of proportion with the rest of the kit. There's absolutely no need for it to be that long. It just takes up stage space for no reason and looks kind of dumb in my opinion. Not to mention long kicks are going out of style already in the acoustic world, they're pretty 2010. There's no doubt in my mind it plays great, and sounds good in my opinion. I just don't really care for the look. Finishes are all pretty boring too. I'd take and EFNote 5 over this any day.

[@kikodrums9239]

It’s a 22” Kick. That’s the regular “Rock size” kick for kits, especially with 10” and 12” Toms. Not to mention there’s a 14” Snare. If anything, I’d argue that the 14” Floor Tom is the only thing that throws the kit off balance.

[@demonicsweaters]

@@kikodrums9239 It's a 22x18, 18" is just far too long in my opinion and looks really dated. Shallower kicks are more modern these days. It could have easily been a 16" or even 14" depth. Also, I agree on the 14" floor tom. If I would be deciding (I know I'm not, haha, but if I were) 10", 12", 14" toms then a 20"x14" kick. I mean if you're paying all that money, why would you want such a goofy looking setup? The kick drum literally has no benefit at all being that deep.

[@jaydoode15]

@@demonicsweaters 10 inches is the standard size for most shell packs these days, it's not out of the norm. If anything, a 13" tom is not something I've seen on many modern kits, unless it's customized or a dedicated rock drum kit.

Hey Ian, you can find a more detailed demo on the features of the PD-140DS & drum-tec pro series in this video if you like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGiVn2uPiqt3l7M Unfortunately I don't have any first hand experiences with the Yamaha TCS pads, but I have to say that the combination of TD-50X and the PD-140DS (or a drum-tec pro series snare) are pretty much state-of-the-art in my experience. All the articulations & positional sensing work really great, but in the end it also depends on the snare sound which is currently selected, how obvious the position on the pad changes the sound. The more overtones & less muffled the sound, the more effect you will hear just as with an acoustic snare. Kind regards!

[@ianmclean5541]

@@drumtecTV right on. Thanks for the link. That’s an excellent comparison between Drumtec snares and the Roland digital snare. Very impressive. I couldn’t tell even a modest difference in triggering, hotspot potential and positional sensing. Those are beautiful snares being offered by Drumtec. Beats anything on the current market. Seriously nice!

I'm sure it looks cool having electronic drums that look like real drums, but isn't the extra resonance of full size shells going to make the acoustic noise louder, which is working against the whole reason for using electronic drums?

[@drumtecTV]

When using mesh heads, there is no resonance of the shell & big pads have about the same noise level as small ones. Still the ergonomics / playing feel do make a huge difference though, if you compare playing on a 14" mesh snare or on a 8" plastic/rubber pad. Kind regards!

[@PutItAway101]

@@drumtecTV Hard rubber pads definitely suck, I can only play on them for about 20 minutes before my wrists give up.

[@JFNolet]

Does this thing can quantize drums while playing ???

:-D sadly not, that's something you will still have to do in post production if neccessary. Kind regards

I'm waiting to see this video for a long time. you always a great drummer Ralf!. Is the bass drum in this VAD706 still using the KD-9? Or it's upgraded to KD-10?

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you very much! :) As far as I know, KD-9 and KD-10 share the same beater area as the VAD bass drums: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqsmGRorL14ibM Kind regards!

How loud is the VH-14D (acoustic sound) in comparison to - for example - ATV AD-H14?

[@drumtecTV]

Hey Piotr, it's pretty much the same as VH-13 or ATV, there might be slight differences but nothing drastical. VH-14 might be just a little bit more silent than an ATV, but that's only my subjective impression :) Kind regards!

[@djhorn5769]

I don’t know if it’s just me, but the symbol swells and buzz rolls don’t sound very natural on this particular kit. I’ve noticed that’s a pretty big issue with electronic drums, even nowadays when the technology is a lot better than it was say 10 years ago.

[@chezchezchezchez]

How’s the hotspoting on the Tom’s?

[@drumtecTV]

Hey Jim, as far as I know the PDA-100 has a side trigger while PDA-120 & PDA-140F have the new trigger system with multiple trigger cones, so there shouldn't be any hotspot issues. You can find more info on the kit here: www.drum-tec.com/roland-vad706-gn-v-drums-acoustic-design-gloss-natural Kind regards!

[@nope5531]

There is no center cone so no center hotspots

[@stikkman61]

Why not just purchase a TM-2 and some Roland triggers and trigger your acoustic set? 🧐

[@hannesdrumss]

Because the triggers don‘t have all the properties these toms have. They have three triggers, completely eliminate hotspotting and much more.

[@drumtecTV]

TM-2 has 2 trigger inputs as far as I know, no compatibility wiht digital pads, no positional sensing, no hihat controller compatibility etc. Wouldn't work out unfortunately, apart from this no external trigger/acoustic drum combination will get the same playing results as a manufactured Roland/drum-tec/ATV pad. Kind regards!

Really surprised at how much I don't like the hi-hat. Way too choppy. Listening to all these other kits has me appreciating more and more how EFNOTE does cymbals.

[@drumtecTV]

What do you mean by choppy? Having played the TD-50X with VH-14D several times now, I think the playability & triggering is outstandingly good (sounds apart). Kind regards!
