Roland TD-1K elektroniskt trumset

Allmänt

If you're just taking up drumming, the Roland TD-1K will have you off to a flying start. More advanced players will also hugely enjoy this electronic drum kit, though, while they're honing their drumming techniques. The TD-1K offers the same high-quality sound and playability as the larger kits from the V-Drums series, and the kit also features a number of tools that will help you improve your drumming skills.

The Roland TD-1K : Natural Sound and Feel

The TD-1K is equipped with fifteen ready-to-play drum kits that allow you to try out any music style you like. Each drum sound has a wide dynamic range and a natural tone, while the drum pads provide a life-like response. This means you can keep honing the techniques you use when you're playing an acoustic kit. In true V-Drums style, the cymbal pads are highly expressive - the crash and ride sound ultra-realistic and make a clear distinction between edge, mid and bell strokes. Cymbal chokes (quickly damping the sound of a cymbal with your hand) are no problem, and the cymbal pads move very naturally when you hit them. With the hi-hat drum pad you can create life-like opened and closed hi-hat sounds, and other hi-hat techniques can also effortlessly be realised.

The Roland TD-1 Drum Module

The included TD-1 sound module is filled with functions that make practising super fun. A metronome helps you develop a sense of rhythm and the Coach mode offers a number of challenging exercises to train your speed, stamina and accuracy. The module has a range of built-in audio songs that allow you to play along with a complete band. Would you rather study the drum parts of your own favourite tracks? No problem either, just plug your smartphone or media player into the mix-in jack connector. The TD-1 sound module also features a recording function, which enables you to play back your own performance for review.

Roland TD-1K Configuration

The Roland TD-1K consists of three tom pads, a snare pad, two cymbal pads and a hi-hat pad with foot controller. The bass drum pedal has a beaterless design, making it much more quiet than the traditional combination of pedal and bass drum pad. The electronic drum kit is quite compact in size, which makes it ideal for small (living) rooms. Thanks to the ergonomic design of the rack you can quickly and easily set up the TD-1K kit just the way you like it.

Computer

The drum module of the TD-1K drum kit has a USB MIDI interface, so you can use your computer to play along with the (free) Roland V-Drums Friend Jam applications. Jam Tracks, various exercises and the option to interact with other V-Drums users - worldwide! - are all part of the possibilities. Thanks to the interface it's also possible to use the TD-1K for recording realistic MIDI drum tracks in your favourite music production software.

If you'd like to expand your Roland TD-1K electronic drum kit, there are various options. The OP-TD1C cymbal set, for instance, allows you to add an additional crash to your setup. The kick pedal can be replaced by the KT-10 or KD-9, which are also found in more advanced V-Drums kits. Other useful accessories include the NE-10 Noise Eater and the TDM-3 drum mat (both for damping purposes), or the PM-03 Personal Drum Monitor, which allows you to put your headphones aside and to enjoy the fantastic sound of this high-grade kit out loud.
