Thanks dude. I was between the kv and kvx, but now it's clear that the kvx is worth saving for. The cymbal upgrades are what does it for me

[@clintlambert6356]

Great video now I know what's is what and what I am looking for thank you so much.

[@Jason_Drums_]

Brilliant guys 👌 so easy to listen to and understand 👍

[@EARTH.HARMONY.SOUND.HEALING]

yes great vide, and Kwesi you are are awesome drummer

[@TransmentalMe]

This was a really awesome vid, exactly the info I was looking for. The Roland guy seems a bit tweaked out but had all the info. Thanks for the content!

[@officialWWM]

I bought the KVX and added an extra pad and Cymbal. I love it but not having a separate volume control for the headphones is a huge mistake and pain in the arse in a live setting.

[@nic.e]

I’m on the fence between the KV and the KVX but with buying an additional cy13/15 with the prior. I guess the main thing is, if your just using two cy8 as crashes, is the difference in cymbal quality and the hi hat worth it. I did own a TD9 years ago and the hi hate seemed fine. Would appreciate your thoughts

[@charlesa6142]

Hey good stuff, thanks for the info. It does not come with a kick pedal? What affordable pedals do you recommend for it? Also will any hi hat stand work with the kit?

[@ozzlemc4650]

Looking at the kv for space requirements as i usually don't do much hihat work and don't want a stand but are the other two cymbals from the kvx purchasable separate?

[@Rockerrobin]

The 2box lightspeed vs td17 kv the kvx might beet the 2box set but its also a lot more. I have the kv and was very disappointed in the lower end cymbals of the roland.

[@Bonzi94]

could somebody please explain the difference on the hi-hats between kv & kvx please?

[@prayfornathannatureshow]

KVS, is what I'd like to buy, debating if I can afford it. or should afford it.

[@maxibarok8355]

Hello, do you recommend it to play live?

[@alejo66698]

if I own a td 17 i can upgrade it later with a hi hat stand?

[@windsurfer49]

Can you buy and use the new Snare as a floor tom! if so that would be a great upgrade

[@steven-bs5ep]

yeah im pretty sure you can

[@brianmcdermott2596]

What happened to the cymbal boom stands? roland ditched the boom stands and jacked the price 200$

[@RADERFPV]

I know, right? Pretty lame really. I was considering it at the $1,600 price point, but not now since they jacked it up and removed the boom stands. I think I'll just settle on the Alesis Crimson 2 for now, and will consider Roland when they stop price gouging. I'll check back in 2 years Roland.

[@pigsfromagun4050]

Did you buy the crimson? Is it worth it thanks ​@@RADERFPV

[@giannispan8129]

Which model do you recommend for purchase? Kv or kvx? Do hi hats and skates have a big difference in feel in the kvx version?

[@sagarhirani4559]

Isn't that what the whole video is about?

[@EgyGamerSchoo1]

HI can I put cymbal Hi-Hat kV to any stand or not ??

[@travisfinnerty156]

Egy Gamer Schoo1 yes

[@aryann1084]

Is the TD17KVX better or the VAD306?

[@PEP.]

306 of course however the KVX is amazing if you cant have the extremely loud kick or deeper shells

[@II-nv4kt]

Could I just add a high hat stand to the td17kv? Or does that not work?

[@rxw5520]

these kits are now generation 2, this video is obsolete as it reviews generation 1. in the generation 2 sets, there are only two differences between the sets, which are two upgrades you get with the kvx2 vs the kv2. The hi-hat and the extra crash. otherwise they are identical sets (same ride, bass drum, snare, etc). This means kv2 can be upgraded down the road to be identical to the KVX2 just with the hi hat (VH-10, plus must buy hi hat stand separately) and the extra crash (CY12C-T), or other compatible hi hat/crash of your choice. The first generation KV in this video was not a popular kit bc it just needed too many upgrades to be like a kvx, but the KV2 is much more straightforward to upgrade down the road.

[@iiMoNeY]

I will never understand why the kick pedals don’t come with your purchase even if you give me a great answer I’m still going to say I just don’t get it. These kits aren’t cheap the least they could do is give you the whole kit?

[@PEP.]

its the same with acoustic drums though - also different sites do bundles like the one i got for £1699 with headphones, sticks, pedal, hi hat stand...

[@iiMoNeY]

@@PEP. I was looking Into the TD17 kvx and idea where I could find a bundle?

[@PEP.]

@@iiMoNeY I believe i got mine from drumshack.co.uk !

[@theloniuspunk383]

drummers usually have/want their own pedals it doesn't make sense to pay more for something you won't use

[@matthewpurcell6943]

Usually hood pedals are $200-400 on the low end, just buy them separately you won’t regret getting a good pair, they easily last 10+ years if you get good ones

[@jtzoltan]

I think this line is discontinued now! I spoke with a music store and they said so (might have meant discontinued from their catalog, but I don't think so)

[@patruoase]

they actually released the td17kv2 and kvx2

[@jtzoltan]

@@patruoase that's so funny, I actually just bought the KVX2 last week so yeah you're right it's re-released. I'm not sure it's worth the price versus a used KVX 1 Any idea the difference between the KVX 2 and the KVX 2S?

[@patruoase]

@@jtzoltan that is cool. Just about to press “buy” myself. I am not sure I now what you mean by KVX2S…If you wonder about the difference between KVX1 and KVX2 then the main difference is the Cynbells, bigger, thinner, much more responsive. The module has an upgraded version with more kits, but then you can just update the first gen module with a simple download.

[@jtzoltan]

@@patruoase yeah from the sounds of it the KVX2 isn't enough over the KVX1 (if the price difference is large at least)... I think it's a really solid kit, the module seems pretty good, has a lot of kits and ways to modulate the sounds. The ride bells suck for some reason, I'll see if I can load in a better sample for it.

[@IIIxwaveIII]

Who the hell doesn’t have BT on their phone?

[@theloniuspunk383]

I have a flip phone

[@terrycarriere8785]

Don't come with cymbal boom stands. What a shame!

[@Grit489]

Save your money and buy the td27 module. $1299

[@minisurfbanana]

I just bought TD27 from sweetwater why am I watching this Lolol was expensive but it’s only $70 a month!!!

[@minisurfbanana]

Jars Shew loving it!!! I had the same thoughts before i bought it. Everything for an extra $1200 are all upgraded. Sweetwater was having a 48/months sale so the difference was $63 a month to $38. So for another $20 u get the better model. Thats the price difference. Its $125 and $75 difference! Cause its 24 months finance! TD 17 i Didnt like the small tom pads...the snare was ok...the rack was too tight...the cymbals were all small. TD 27 is better module cymbals pads...real snare size! But are willing to pay an extra $1200? I think having the TD 17 module with my TD27 kit would be the only thing i would replace to save money. I was going to buy the VAD306 but wasn't in stock. And still today not in stock! The only thing I want to change maybe to may be get a 12in tom for my "floor tom" other than that its perfect. If I had to do it all over again and the 48 months financing is available still I probably would've gotten the VAD306. $500 cheaper and or also The Alesis Strike force pro $1000 cheaper or SE version $500. But really wanted a Roland. So many factors involved. So for the long dribble...loving drumming!!! LoL

[@minisurfbanana]

Jars Shew too bad you couldn't try these drums out at the stores...would have made my choices simpler. But tried the TD17 and TD25 before so i expected that from the TD27. Drum sizes makes a difference...thats why ended up getting DW Performance kit. Now i can play quiet and loud. But still like 90/10 on the Ekit.

[@minisurfbanana]

Jars Shew good luck!!!

[@johndef5075]

KVX most expensive but best value.

[@louislanfear9403]

is that guy from roland coked up haha
