Dynamic Prismatic Sound Modeling Brings Your Drumming to Life

Great drummers demand great performance, and at the heart of the Roland TD-50KV, 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-50KV'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 centre of their setup that they can rely on to really bring out the flavours in their drumming - the TD-50KV 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.

Express Yourself with Larger Cymbals, Including the New CY-18DR Ride

The new TD-50KV includes some of the best electronic cymbals available on the market which offer stunning clarity and precision. This new electronic kit features larger crash cymbals in the form of the CY-14C and CY-15R taken from the previous flagship model, which are also a step up from those found on its TD-50K sister kit. 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!

Add the Optional KD-A22 Kick Drum Converter for Feel and Presence

Onstage presence is a huge factor in stating your image not only as a band but as a musician as well. If you love the feel of your acoustic kick, it's easy to incorporate it into your new TD-50KV setup using the optional KD-A22 converter package. Once fitted to your regular 22-inch bass drum, you'll get the same great feel with KD-A22 as you do with the KD-120 and KD-140 thanks to Roland's innovative air-damper mechanics working alongside the acoustic shell, plus visuals that make a statement on any stage. The KD-A22 package includes a front head and a batter head with a kick-pad sensor unit, plus metal hoop and shock-absorber cushions to retrofit your acoustic drum by exchanging its head and hoop.*
PLEASE NOTE:
The KD-A22 is an additional extra and must be purchase separately.
Also, a 22-inch bass drum is not included in the KD-A22 package.

VH-13 V-Hi-Hat with Advanced Motion Sensor for Natural Hi-Hat Response

The VH-13 hi-hat offers a two-piece structure with top and bottom cymbal pads for a natural playing feel. It also features advanced motion sensor and triggering technologies for authentic response, with smooth open-to-closed control. Just like an acoustic hi-hat, you can alter the closed tone by pressing harder on the pedal, and play foot splashes as well.

Hit the Stage Faster with Balanced Connections to a PA

For drummers who play live every night, the TD-50KV will help avoid the time and effort of a lengthy setup. The TD-50 is the first V-Drums module to feature an XLR stereo master out and eight TRS direct outs, allowing for a balanced connection to a PA system. Assigning the pad to any of the individual outputs is simple, while convenient master/headphones volume controls and group faders balance the output level for each pad instantly. You can also assign the volume to control headphones only, letting you adjust the monitor level without affecting the PA signal.

Play with Your Own WAV Files and Record Easily to a DAW

As a creative drummer, you'll love the TD-50K's open-ended connectivity, which lets inspiration flow in both directions. One of the biggest and most stand-out features of the the TD-50, is the newest addition of the SD card slot. Using the module's SD card slot, is the easiest way to trigger your own WAV files using any of the TD-50K's drum pads. You can loop or layer WAV sounds alongside the internal sounds while controlling volume and tone via the TD-50's front panel. This new function opens up a whole new world of sampling and customisation by allowing you to use your favourite sounds and samples with this amazing new V-Drum kit. This options are virtually endless! Another great step forward in the evolution of electronic drums is the ability to simply connect the TD-50 module to a computer via USB for multi-track recording direct to your favorite DAW. Whether you are tracking ideas for a new record, constructing a drum solo or in the studio recording the next UK #1, this function is truly great. Up to 10 channels can be recorded separately, then easily edited for tone color and more. There's even a choice of audio sampling formats: 48 kHz, 96 kHz, and the standard 44.1kHz.

Practice Features to Develop Your Technique

The TD-50KV is the choice for serious drummers, but there's always room for improvement. This new kit doesn't just let your drum technique shine, it actively improves it too, offering onboard features that help you get the best from practice sessions. Whether you lock down your timing with the Quiet Count function or play along to backing tracks via the SD card slot, it's easy to get inspired, even when you're practicing alone.

Flexible Kit Configurations for Live, Recording, and Home Applications

The TD-50KV kit comes with the KD-140-BC Kick Trigger Pad giving great feel with a compact footprint, especially suitable for studio recording and home use. If you want the ultimate drumming experience, presence on the stage, and more, pairing the TD-50KV with the optional KD-A22 mounted on your 22-inch acoustic kick shell is the perfect choice. And if you play in home and live situations where space is an issue, you should check out the TD-50K set. In comparison with the TD-50KV, it comes with slightly smaller tom, hi-hat, and crash cymbal pads, as well as the smaller MDS-50K stand and compact KD-120-BC Kick Trigger Pad.
