Explore a whole new world of percussive possibilities with the TD-07MK 🥁

[@polyduckwanaland]

Nick, please don’t stop doing this. I legit get exited whenever a new drum rundown video drops.

[@PJXay]

Just bought this kit as my first kit and I must say I’m impressed! I’m diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, or basically just High-Functioning Autism, so I like to fidget. For a couple months I’ve been taking quite the interest in drums and I wanted to be able to play at home instead of just on my schools set, so I got this! What I love is that it isn’t just limited to acoustic drum sounds, you can get synth drums on it, and me being the synth nerd I am love this feature! It’s so nice being able to program my ideal kits onto it since they give you well… 50 kit slots to customize! So far I’ve programmed 6 kits of my own onto it and absolutely love making new kits. For a person who loves to fidget, just wants something to groove on and hit real hard without disturbing anyone, this is amazing! ❤️❤️❤️

We bought this for my son this Xmas and he has what you have and fidgets alot to. This comment has made my day. I can't wait to see him use this kit and have a go myself.

I bought this kit from you guys a while back; absolutely love it. I'm just having trouble making the module play nicely with EZ Drummer... there's no option for this specific module in the midi settings, and it seems like the velocities are all off. Any tips?

[@sonickmoon]

Thanks for a detailed explanation and demo! Btw... at 0:55 you mention it's 10" snare.. i believe that's a mistake and it's an 8" for the 07dmk. Or is this 10" snare an option ? Thanks

[@zainterrell8243]

Great video 👏🏼 Can I record using audio splitter to headphones and laptop or MIDI direct to laptop without delay or latency ?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Ehab Sameh. Thanks for your interest. You can record via USB/Midi. Latency should be minimal. I would not use the splitter as you’re actually splitting signal. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@mylesjarvis7571]

I know this is an older video but thanks for this. Very in depth. Can you assign one of the toms to be a cymbal? Would be nice to have two crashes. Sorry if I sound like a newbie LOL.

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Myles. Thanks so much for your interest. Technically you can. But it wouldn’t sound right because of the zoning. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@Fiveash-Art]

They make this kit now with an extra cymbal .. you get a larger ride so the other two can be regulated to crashes. It's the TD-07DMKX .. it's only a bit more price wise .. it's worth it in my view.

[@Tom-sd2vi]

You can add a second crash without giving up on one of the base pads, this module has one extra trigger input.

[@sabadrum]

The module has ride cymbal bell sounds included, yes? Meaning we can assign a bell sounds to the edge of the ride cymbal on a custom kit? Is there a full list of all the sounds included within the TD07 module?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, sabadrum! The TD07 does indeed have ride cymbal bell sounds and you can reassign those sounds to any trigger zone on the kit itself. This setup process is covered on page 13 of the manual: www.roland.com/global/support/by_product/td-07kv/owners_manuals/0d0db506-4735-48f4-85c8-7adb3484e195/ There is not a published list of all the sounds, but you can get a pretty good sample of all the kits here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn_deYWeZt-Ama8 Thanks for the interest!

[@trebormate]

Hi, thanks for the great review of this kit, im considering buying this one and i just wanted to ask about the cymbals. I didnt see you play the ride cymbal at all and i was wondering if you can produce bell/edge/bow sounds with it? Can you also adjust the cymbals to be 2 crashes instead of 1 crash 1 ride? Thanks!

[@sweetwater]

Hey, trebormate. Thanks for your interest. You can assign any sounds to the cymbal. Both crash and ride can be assigned. It’s dual zone only so it can only do edge and bow. No bell. But it does support choking. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@jonastaulelunde9582]

Hi guys, Great video! 😃 I am going to buy my first ever electronic set, I will probably go for this one but doing my research, a deal breaker for me is a kick pad, but I am wondering how the vibration and durability will be on this one since the kick pad is mounted onto the set itself?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Jonas. Thanks so much for reaching out. The durability on these is pretty solid. One thing to make sure of is to not use a felt bass drum beater. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@gulliford_music]

Hi guys, I've watched both of your reviews on this kit and the Alesis Surge mesh kit. In your honest opinion which kit would you chose for an intermediate player that will be using to record and rehearse. Anyone else's opinion is much appreciated too!

[@christiansagers1903]

I like that it’s compact, but I’m 6’ 1” and I’m worried the snare and floor tom will sit too low. Do you know if the snare can raise up to a reasonable height so it’s not sitting below my lap? Having it attach to the underside of the rack makes it look like it’s stuck pretty low. Thanks for the great demo!

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Christian! I’m 6’0” myself and have no issues getting the snare to a comfortable playing height on the TD07. The horizontal bar the snare mounts to can be attached to the vertical bar above the middle cross-member for some added height. From there, you’ll also have another 3” of range on the L-arm the snare attaches to. I’m confident you’ll be able to get it where you need it. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1766, [e-mail]

[@andreacastillo5596]

Hi I am buying this set and bringing it on a plane, do you think this will fit on a big suitcase? Mostly I am worried about the rack height, will the longer stick of the rack fit on a suitcase?

Thanks for the video. I’ve never owned a drum kit but have always wanted to learn how to drum…this will be arriving next week and I’m even more excited after watching the video. Does anyone know if Bluetooth can work in both directions? Like if I wanted to stream music from my phone to play along with and wanted to stream that combined audio to my stereo amplifier which is Bluetooth enabled?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, daver7465. It only works one way. You can only stream Bluetooth to the module for play along. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

Which hardware do your have connected to the module? Thank you.

[@rc-uu7hs]

Hi, for this TD-07DMK model, the bass kick pad is mounted on the vertical frame itself. Do you find that it causes the overall setup to vibrates and shakes more when stepping on the bass kick pedal?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, RC! Being attached to the rack itself, the kick pad does somewhat cause the rack to vibrate when struck. The kick pedal is also secured to the rack, which helps to absorb that shock and anchor the rack even further. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1766, [e-mail]

If you're gonna use an amp, I would get a good Roland or other quality dedicated drum amp. I'm more of a guitar authority, but I've played some of these kits in stores and they always have a good quality drum amp to demo them with. A really good pair of studio monitor headphones would be nice, too. Fostex, Yamaha, Beyer, AKG, etc.

Hey, Michael. Thanks for reaching out. Yes it is. You can upgrade the stand and the hats. Hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@Danielnts]

Do the cymbals are sensitive as the toms and the snare?

[@aaronsparks9012]

I could be wrong about this but I think I noticed that Roland hasn't put a jack for the main out put's and what kind of chord could you use if you wanted too plug in a analog mixer or amplifier and also I was wondering if you could plug the FD-1 hi hat controller into a Roland TD-4 module thanks?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Aaron. Thanks for reaching out. The TD07 has a 1/8” output for both headphone and main out. You’d want to use a 1/8” TRS cable on that side. The other end would depend on your mixer. As far as the FD-1 goes, you can. But you can’t add it. You’d have to use the 1/4” “Hi Hat” end of the break out cable. I hope this helps.

Overal Roland is better quality, a more serious stuff, Alesis seems more like a playstation video game.

How does this compare to the Alesis command SE? Pls help

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Dolceyul! You’ll see these two kits are very similar in terms of their configuration - kick, snare, three toms, hi hat, crash and ride cymbal - but the Alesis has a standalone kick tower whereas the Roland’s kick drum is integrated with the rack. Also, the Alesis kit does have more instrument sounds within its module compared to the Roland. There are some other differences to consider as well.
