A Whole New Generation of V-Drums
Refined pads, an updated sound engine, and a whole new set of premium-quality kits take the V-Drums TD-17KV2 Generation Two electronic drum kit well past its reasonable price point and straight into professional territory! A TD-17 sound module serves as the core of the TD-17KV2, loaded with fresh new kits and improved effects to cover just about every percussion application in the book. What’s more, you can import your own sounds to craft wild custom kits, or even borrow a couple of studio-quality artist signature kits by connecting to the powerful Roland Cloud library. Finally, the pads are a combination of old classics and cutting-edge new designs, sporting thin CY-12C-T and CY-14R-T cymbals, a time-tested PDX-12 snare, three dual-trigger PDX-8 toms, an expressive CY-5 hi-hat pad with FD-9 foot pedal, and a rock-solid KD-10 kick! The TD-17KV2 also includes Roland’s MDS-compact drum stand, so you can get set up and playing in no time.
Second Generation TD-17 Sound Module
A library of studio-quality kits
No matter what style you’re after, the TD-17’s updated array of 70 premium-quality kits have you covered! The second generation of the TD-17 boasts a re-vamped sound engine, in addition to 20 brand-new preset kits — half of which were only previously available on the top-of-the-line VAD-306. Moreover, these kits feature 26 built-in samples that can be added to your custom kits, offering a whole new level of percussion personalization. From metal blast beats to EDM grooves to dry recording kits, the TD-17 is loaded with versatile sounds for any genre, and you can even upload your own sounds as WAV files via SD/HC card to craft the kit of your dreams. Moreover, each and every sound can be fine-tuned with the TD-17’s impressive processing and effects engine with snare tension, compression, EQ, reverb, and many more sonic sculpting tools.
Bluetooth MIDI and song streaming
The TD-17’s built-in Bluetooth transceiver is sure to elevate your practice and recording sessions. Music can be streamed directly from your device to the module, allowing you to practice with your favorite grooves and fills. Plus, if you’re in a creative mood, the TD-17’s Bluetooth functionality can also send your beats wirelessly as MIDI notes, capturing your inspiration for later. Finally, audio/MIDI over USB and a standard 5-pin MIDI output are available for musicians who prefer the old-school reliability of a cord connection.
Enhanced Roland Cloud support
Looking for some fresh new sounds? The Second Generation TD-17’s enhanced Roland Cloud integration makes it a breeze to expand your tonal toolbox with Roland’s vast library of studio-quality sounds and samples. Even better, Roland Cloud gives you access to a myriad of signature artist kits, putting the sonic power of the world’s top drummers in your hands!
Plenty of pads
PDX-12 snare pad
This kit’s wide assortment of pads starts off with the PDX-12, a 12-inch dual-trigger snare pad that boasts an incredibly realistic feel and response. The 12-inch size offers an easy transition for players migrating from a kit-size snare. Plus, a tunable 2-ply head allows you to dial in your preferred level of rebound, from a solid, tight bounce to a loose wallop. For the uninitiated, switching from a traditional snare to a pad can feel like a compromise, but the PDX-12 truly captures the natural feel of an acoustic snare.
KD-10 kick pad
Looking for a kick pad with the feedback of a traditional acoustic head? The tower-style KD-10 kick pad delivers exceptionally organic playability, capturing every nuance of your playing dynamics. A combination of a rock-solid frame and anchoring spurs keep the KD-10 firmly in place, allowing you to stomp out even the most aggressive of double-bass blast beats with impunity.
CY-5 hi-hat and FD-9 control pedal
When it comes to hi-hat pads, the Roland CY-5 is about as close as you can get to the feel of a traditional hi-hat cymbal! This pad features a wide 10-inch playing zone and swing movement, resulting in a triggering system with an incredibly life-like response. Next, the FD-9 hi-hat control pedal unlocks your expressive potential, with smooth transitions between open/half-open/closed positions. Lastly, the FD-9 is built with a link mechanism to all but eliminate noise when pumping the pedal — ideal for keeping the decibels down during late-night practice and recording sessions!
What else is included?
- PDX-8 toms (x3): Roland’s V-Toms sport a dual-trigger design for a nuanced response that captures your strikes across both the head and rim. Plus, the head and rim can be configured in the TD-17 to produce any type of sound you require, allowing for creative custom setups!
- CY-12C-T and CY-14R-T cymbals: This generation of Roland V-Drums features a thinner, more sensitive CY-12C-T crash cymbal and CY-14R-T ride cymbal. In addition to their new low profile, both of these cymbals offer a choke control that functions just like a traditional cymbal — just grab the edge! The CY-12C-T crash sports a trigger point on both the bow and edge, while the CY-14R-T ride is designed with 3-way independent triggering on the bow, edge, and bell for a wide variety of configuration options.
Keep your setup solid
This set comes equipped with Roland’s rock-solid MDS-compact drum stand to rig up your set safely and securely. It’s a favorite stand among percussionists for its sheer durability, but the included boom arms and easy-positioning mounts for the toms/snare certainly don’t hurt either! Non-slip rubber feet keep the MDS-Compact rooted firmly to the ground, allowing you to go all-out without fear of your set slipping and shifting around. A multi-pin trigger harness, module mount, power supply, and smartphone tray complete the MDS-Compact, providing an incredible level of utility and reliability.
