Dynamic Prismatic Sound Modeling Brings Your Drumming to Life

Great drummers demand great performance, and at the heart of the Roland TD-50KVX, you'll find the TD-50 - a powerful new sound module whose original Prismatic Sound Modeling technology means that every element of your playing style is caught and conveyed in thrilling detail. Working alongside the TD-50KVX's newly developed snare and ride cymbal pads - which feature our most advanced trigger-sensing technology yet - the TD-50's high-resolution processing gives you the most lifelike, resonant, and expressive sounds you'll hear from an electronic kit.

Customise Your Sound for Live Sessions and Studio Work

No matter what scenario or musical style you are presented with, the TD-50 has you covered with a choice of onboard kits to suit every session. This advanced module also supports deep sound customisation, including basic adjustment of heads and shells, layering of internal and user samples, and adjustment of overhead mics and ambience. For a completely tailored and custom sound, multiple effects are available for individual pad assignment including the use of a compressor and three-band EQ, while three independent multi-effect sections also allow you to treat specific drums with 30 effect types such as delay, flanger, saturator, and many others. In the final stages of editing and processing your custom patches, a two-band multi-compressor and four-band equalizer on the master output let you change the overall dynamics and tonal balance, depending on whether you're in the studio or onstage. The new Snapshot feature is a quick and excellent way to assess and compare any edits to your sounds before making permanent changes.

Play Genuine Snare Techniques with the New 14-inch PD-140DS

Every drummer wants a solid snare drum at the center of their setup that they can rely on to really bring out the flavors in their drumming - the TD-50KVX offers nothing but perfection on this front! Working alongside the TD-50 sound module is the PD-140DS Digital Snare, which brings a new level of expression to your snare work. A brand-new, three-layer mesh head is fitted to a standard size 14-inch shell for natural rebound and feel, and is instantly familiar to play. But now, thanks to Roland's newly developed multi-element sensor system, your hits across every area of the pad are more closely detected, and your playing dynamics captured in minute detail. Rim shots and cross sticks are automatically detected as the pad senses your hand and adjusts accordingly, producing a sound that is natural, detailed, and bursting with character.

Expressive players will also benefit from the new CY-18DR Digital Ride with its regular 18-inch size and familiar motion during performance. This new digital cymbal fits seamlessly into your kit with the high-resolution multi-sensor system within the cymbal pad, that continuously detects every stroke from edge to bell, working alongside the TD-50 module for dynamics and response that have never before been heard from a cymbal pad. Put the CY-18DR through its paces with techniques from cymbal legato to soft bell strokes and hear the detail for yourself. You can even mute the bow with a finger touch!
