A Whole New Generation of V-Drums
Roland’s V-Drums TD-27KV2 is the definition of a do-it-all electronic drum set, boasting world-class set of pads and a newly enhanced TD-27 sound module. 75 preset kits — 10 of which are all-new to the TD-27 sound module — cover just about every percussion application imaginable. If you’re after a more personalized sound, deep editing capabilities allow you to tune, tinker, and tweak every facet of your tone, and you can even upload custom WAV samples via SD card. Looking for top-quality pads? The CY-18DR ride, KD-10 kick, PD-140DS snare, and three PDX-100 toms are time-tested classics found in previous generations of the TD-27KV family and all-time favorites of our eDrum enthusiasts. However, the CY-12C-T, CY-14C-T, and VH-14D crash/hi-hat cymbals have been thinned down and revamped for vastly improved expressive potential! An MDS-STD2 stand wraps up the TD-27KV2 with a road-ready reliability, keeping your setup solid show after show, session after session.

Generation 2 TD-27 Sound Module
The power of Prismatic Sound Modeling
Just like Roland’s top-of-the-line TD-50 sound module, the TD-27 is powered by Roland’s cutting-edge Prismatic Sound Modeling. This system’s exceptionally deep editing capabilities allow you to shape and tune just about every facet of your kit, from the shell’s tone and tuning to cymbal size and articulation. Moreover, Prismatic Sound Modeling features virtual mic placement to dial in liveliness and room ambience — there’s even a library of new effects including roomy reverb, compression, and more to effortlessly capture a studio-quality sound!
PureAcoustic Ambience Technology
Apart from your shells, one other sonic component shapes every element of your kit’s tone: the room. In the past, electronic kits could sometimes have the feeling of playing in a vacuum, which is why Roland developed their innovative PureAcoustic Ambience Technology to create a natural and immersive foundation for your eDrum sound. PureAcoustic imbues every strike of the set with life-like roominess to take your kit’s tone to a whole new level of realism.
10 all-new kits
Generation Two of the TD-27 amps up the sonic versatility, delivering a vast array of 75 preset kits developed with professional drummers. 10 of these kits are all-new to the TD-27, and many of the legacy kits were fine-tuned and tweaked by Roland, sounding better than ever before! As if that wasn’t enough, improved integration with Roland Cloud makes it a breeze to download fresh new kits from Roland’s ever-expanding library, including many signature artist sets that put the power of the world’s top players directly into your hands.
Craft a custom kit
In addition to the vast collection of preset drum kits, the TD-27 allows you to import your own WAV sounds via SD card to build your own personal instrument or integrate a specific sample into a preset kit. From lo-fi percussion samples to full-length audio loops, the TD-27’s customization possibilities are truly endless!
Simplify your recording setup
If you’re building up a home studio, an electronic drum kit is just about the easiest way to lay down your drum tracks — no mics, interface, or excessive noise required! The TD-27 outputs a whopping 28 channels of multitrack audio to your DAW via a single USB cable for near-silent recording of studio-quality beats. Plus, the TD-27 can be rigged up as a USB MIDI interface, allowing you to re-track or trigger parts using virtual instruments in your DAW. Lastly, the stereo mix output and two assignable outputs are a must-have feature for performing musicians who regularly hook up their set to a PA mixer.
Expand your potential
While the TD-27-KV2 comes with just about everything a drummer could ever want, we more than understand the never-ending need to tinker and build upon your setup. Fortunately, Roland includes three extra auxiliary trigger inputs on the TD-27 sound module to further upgrade your kit!
Bluetooth MIDI and song streaming
The TD-27’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.
TD-27KV2 Pads and Stand
18-inch digital ride is Roland’s most convincing V-Cymbal yet
Electronic cymbals have a reputation for being utilitarian — a means to end. But the Roland CY-18DR invites players to bring their acoustic touch back to their eKit. This 18-inch V-Cymbal sways and plays like a real cymbal. Multiple sensors across the playing surface eliminate the feeling of zones; distinct edge, bow, and bell tones melt into one another seamlessly. And the Roland CY-18DR’s multi-touch technology not only lets you choke crash attacks with your hand, but also even soften cymbal attacks with a finger’s touch. If you have trouble getting the full emotion of a performance to translate through traditional eCymbals, Musiekwereld recommends putting the Roland CY-18DR V-Cymbal digital ride through its paces. You won’t be disappointed.
Top-of-the line VH-14D hi-hat
The crown jewel of the TD-27KV2’s impressive set of pads is the VH-14D, a 14-inch pad that sets the standard for acoustic-like realism. A two-piece design, open/closed resolution, and touch-sensitive multi-sensor system delivers unmatched expression potential, tracking every subtlety of your stick’s strike. Foot splashes sound better than ever, and you can even mute the cymbal with a quick grab — just like a real cymbal! It might not be made out of bronze, but you’d be hard-pressed to tell the VH-14D apart from the real thing.
14-inch digital snare plays like the real deal
The TD-27KV2’s snare drum is sophisticated as its sound module. Eight sensors across the 4.3-inch x 14-inch Roland PD-140DS’s head and rim accurately translate your performance into the electronic realm. This means fat backbeats, cutting rimshots, delicate ghost notes, brush sweeps, and natural cross-sticks that connect every time. And because of its 14-inch diameter, the Roland PD-140DS transitions seamlessly between your acoustic kit and back. Particular about your tuning? So are we at Musiekwereld. Fortunately, the PD-140DS’s 8-lug design and 3-ply mesh head make it easy to dial in whatever level of tightness or sponginess you desire.
V-Kick supports single and double pedals
The Roland TD-27KV2’s tower-style bass pad features an adaptive playing surface that responds more like an acoustic drumhead, providing realistic feedback for attack and dynamics. Its redesigned frame greatly reduces physical movement to minimize flexing and scooting. On a rug or carpet, it’s rock solid, with spurs to anchor the pad in place. Roland designed the KD-10 to accept single or double pedals, so whatever style of music inspires you, this pad delivers.
What else is included?
- PDX-100 toms (x3): Roland’s PDX-100 V-Toms sport a dual-trigger design for a nuanced response that captures your strikes across both the head and rim. Plus, the head can be precisely tensioned to your personal playing style.
- CY-12C-T and CY-14C-T crash cymbals: This generation of Roland V-Drums features a thinner, more sensitive CY-12C-T and CY-14C-T crash cymbals. 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! Both cymbals sport a dual-trigger design, with sensors on both the bow and edge for a wide variety of configuration options.
