I watch these demos just for this guys playing style. I don't know what it is about how he plays, but man, I really enjoy how clean and confident he plays. Of course the set sounds great......better for that price tag.
Thank you very much! You can find more drumming/music on my personal channel over here if you like:

Dude is a monster on the drums
Thank you very much! :)
Bass drum sounds amazing. You can hear the air being pushed
Gorgeous kit
Waw. Nice playing, great feel!
Sounds quite good, td50x will be my back up plan for my VAD506 if the Gewa G9 I just got doesn’t pan out
that D&B sounds fantastic!
Love the cut at 4:49. Fluid, tasty and in the pocket. Love your playing Ralf!

I love that I've watched this dude drum for hours but never heard him talk 🤣👍
Well, I can actually talk :-D, but I think really playing an instrument for a demonstration is much more fun & says more than a 1000 words.
Maybe you would never have watched so many drum-tec videos if I actually talked in all of them, also my voice might sound like Kermit the frog, who knows??? ;-D ok, no it probably doesn't... Thanks for tuning in & kind regards!
This drummer is a master !!!!!
I have a VAD 306 and just ordered a TD 50X to replace my TD17. It seems to be a beast of a module. I’ll see soon. Can’t wait to get it!
Hey Anthony, that's great to hear! The TD-50X is indeed a great module, what really makes it "shine" are the digital VH-14D hihat & CY-18DR ride :) you can find all available addons/options over here:

Okay that’s killer
sounds real. no delay.
Wow, that Wood Phonic kit sound is awesome!
The Wood Phonic kit is part of the upcoming drum-tec Live Sound Edition for the TD-50X (15 kits), which will be free of charge with the purchase of any TD-50X module/kit from drum-tec. Demo coming up next, kind regards!

I have the kit already. Just waiting for the samples to come out from you guys
What do you think of digital hi hat??? Worth the wait/hype??? Bold step forward in drum technology or similar on par VH-13???? Barring some kind of financial miracle I’ll never own TD-50, TD-27 module more realistic goal, worth buying??? Can’t wait to try for myself at guitar center, however I know that maybe not best environment for evaluation: how many people bash the life out of floor model kits, settings maybe crazy messed with
@@mattryan6886 hi Matt. I honestly can’t tell the difference between the new digital hihats and the vh13, so in my opinion it is not worth the upgrade. Sorry Roland. The TD-27 is still a very good module, i actually use more samples in my TD50X than their built in sounds. So TD-27 would be better buy if you mainly use samples instead of their on board sounds. The thing i really like about the VAD706 is that it really feels like real drums when you hit it. You can’t go wrong with either, TD27 and the non digital hihat would work very well still.
The VAD706 is $10,500.00 plus tax in Canada. I started off with an excellent used TD30KV then added the TD50DP and finally the TD50X firmware update. A few cymbals have been reassigned or added. Selling the replaced items (e.g. TD30 module) helps keep the costs down. Looking forward to the DrumTec TD50X kits being available fo existing owners.
Solo el modulo cuanto cuesta. Para dispararlos con el Spd 20
Ralph or “the king of ghost notes” 🥰
:-D
You not kidding, he has prestigious technique. Always enjoy watching and hearing him put these kits through the paces
@@mattryan6886 Thank you Matt :)
@@drumtecTV You are most welcome. Very interested in what your thoughts are on the digital hihats performance. You are in very unique position to have damn near every major drum kit manufacturer on the market. Are they a big step forward in the technology that future closes the gap between acoustic drums and electronics similar to acoustic guitar/electric guitar??? Or maybe a slight improvement over what was currently Accepted a best on the market VH-13’s/ATV 14”??? Maybe 🤔 your own slightly different opinion or take?? Thank you so much!!!!! Keep making noise and videos of all the newest gear out there
@@mattryan6886 Hey Matt, I personally prefer playing feel of the VH-14D to all other hihat options actually :) the VH-13 always was a little too bulky for me, while the ATV still is a nice option for heavier rock drumming because of its harder surface/material. Kind regards!
Great playing as always!
Thank you Jason! :)
First of all: Sick playing as always!
I would give anything to get the top-of-the-line Roland pads simply for their durability and feel, but I never really loved their samples unfortunately. There are other brands out there that make better sounding sample in my opinion.
Thank you very much Michael! :)
Just run it into your own samples. I run my Simmons sd600 into steven slate samples using midi. Sounds like a 4000 dollar kit.
Hi bro!! You did paradiddles like you’re eating french fries hah😅😅 so smooth.. love it.. I’m a drummer too.. like ya style.. so similar to me♥️
Thank you so much :) you can find more drumming / music & sound demo videos ovr at my private channel digitalödrumming too if you like:

At 4.58 he hits the rim of the first tam, and a perfect "rim-click" is played...... wow. Amazing. This is so awesome....
Once again, Roland demonstrates how they only seem to dominate the market in terms of playability/expression with their flagship models. Impressive trigger tech, to be sure, but the competition is trailing so close on that front. I'm still not so impressed with their sample library, although it's (finally) improved somewhat. If you could load in the PMP samples and couple it with the advanced expression of the 50X, then you could crown it king... and somewhat justify the $8,000 tag.
That’s why superior drummer is your friend connect to a laptop drums are flawless.
👍!
Hey Ralf. Thanks for the demo of this kit, which btw looks amazing. Top chops too! My question is how close are you finding the new td50x module compared to the likes of SD3 and other sample based software? Cheers
Thank you Brian! The playability is great as always, the sounds have definitely improved but there still is a difference between module sounds & a Toontrack sample library. While the sample libraries use tons of complex multilayer / round robin samples etc, the Roland modules as far as I know use much less basic samples and a modelling technology to transform/modify the sounds.
This major difference is audible, but if you are working at home / in the studio you can hook up your midi easily and make use of the TD-50X great playability & triggering. Have you checked out the drum-tec Silent Studio Sessions yet btw:

KInd regards!
@@drumtecTV thanks for the info. It’s what I thought. Seems this update is definitely much improved from a sound perspective. Yes I have checked out the silent sessions, which I have to say are awesome. 2 amazingly talented players. Joyful to watch! The drum kits sounded really really good too. Thanks for your help
Good good
This has to be one of best demos of this kit! I don’t hear the “machine gunning” here. I’d love to hear this kit with the Pearl Mimic module
Thank you very much! Have you already checked out these demos of the Mimic Pro module with the drum-tec pro custom series:
czcams.com/video/k1jf3ysRp0M/video.html
czcams.com/video/10yC3-panY8/video.html
czcams.com/video/mMGE9IRFSrQ/video.html
Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV hey did you do anything to get rid of machinegunning? Out of the box after the upgrade many of the sets have the machinegunning, so I have to dial it in. For some reason this was worse on X then the stock TD50 - but snares is way better now I guess
@@kbaeve Hey Kenneth, I actually just reduced the sensitivity settings on snare & toms a little, as they seemed to be set very high for my taste by default. This way you'll end up with less max level velocity, making the kit & dynamics sound more natural. But in the end these are very individual settings & up to personal taste. Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV Ralf, do the VAD series come with 3-side-triggering system like ATV or eFNote do? Or just the conventional center triggering like Roland always did?
@@galgogergo As far as I know the 12" & 14" toms have the 3-side-triggers, while the 10" pads only have one side trigger. But you might get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de to make sure :) kind regards!
Awesome demo and playing as always Ralph! Curious to know your thoughts on the VH-14D triggering with a TD-27 vs TD50x? Is there anything in the VAD 706 apart from the bigger kick that should temp me to go that way over a VAD 506?
Lemme break it down. Vad 706 has the digital hats, lacquered wood finish instead of sparkle wrap, a 16 inch crash instead of 14, a better module with I believe 2 more inputs, and the bigger bass drum. Upgrading the hi hat on a 27 would put you at 5800$ and there's no demonstration of how the hats work with the 27. If you sell the vh10 maybe 5600$ total. Honestly, not a bad idea, still 2400$ difference, the cost of a td 50x. There are some bundles for the 506 such as an extra floor tom that may sway you as well. Personally I'm looking for 0% interest financing and I'd probably get the 706 since with a 48 month deal its only 60$ more a month
Thank you very much! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to play the VH-14 on a TD-27 yet, but there will hopefully be a demo some time soon. Kind regards!
Hey ralf, do the two real acoustic sound edition kits featured here contain a live snare recording layer? when do you think those sound edition will be available for purchase?
Hey Bruce, there are actually 3 kits in the demo from the upcoming Live Sound Edition, which will be a free goodie with the purchase of a TD-50X module/kit from drum-tec. The Real Acoustic Sound Edition will probably follow a little later though. Kind regards!
I mean how not to dream with this kit?
Good
People ask who my drumming heros are amd expect me to say Ringo Starr, Steve Smith or something. They don't know what to say when I say Ralph from the Drum Tec videos.
Man thank you so much for your super nice feedback Kent, that's great to hear! 😀
for your drum sets do the bottoms also have mesh heads
Yes they do :) you can find more info & pictures of the pads over here:

Nice Porcaro Shuffle in there.
Thanks Budhi! :)
Всё очень классно звучит . Но и стоит тоже очень дорого
Neato stuff fratellos, tavarich`s amigos, amigas #JeanLechen
@Ed I would but I have none friend. Also why the hi hat open synth sound on Reggae kit?
I'm planning to get a new edrum set. What noise level is the kick drum? I'm living in an apartment with neighbors above and beneath me.
Hi, the Roland VAD bass drums are rather loud and might be too much for appartment use:

Yeah, now td 50 have good sound, more realistic. I have vad306, please give me a suggestion, what do you prefer more? Pearl mimic for upgrade my vad306 or td50x? Thanks
I use my drums on the stage with my band, and i need a good and realistic sound. Thanks!
I know the roland module, i'm in love, but you have a more experience for and i would like sone advice from you
Playability/triggering of the TD-50X is great/unmatched and you can use the digital pads which are awesome. I think you can get pretty decent sounds out of it also!
The Pearl Mimic on the other hand is a nice module if you are looking for rock sounds specifically. I'd personally go with the Roland (actually played a tour with a drum-tec pro kit & TD-50X this summer), also because it's so sturdy & reliable. You can find some nice drum-tec sound editions for both modules too, for example:
czcams.com/video/tONRLbOSNuA/video.html
(-> comes FREE with the module from drum-tec)

Thanks!!
Still doesnt sound as good as i wish. Why doesnt Roland put the sounds library of the new DW soft ware in this kit since they own DW. Or the sounds in Superior Drummer ? I dont know what Rolands problem is not being willing to put top quality realistic acoustic sounding software in an $8000 dollar drumset.
How much is the entire thing? TD-50x WITH VAD706 GN ?

can the sybals do cymbal mutes?
Yes they can! :)
Is this electric drum set or accoustic drum???
It is an electronic drumkit :) you'll find more info over here:

Q: What E-Drumset should I buy?😭
(Unlimited Budget)
Alesis Strike Pro
@@ggotscha is it as good as for example a roland td 30/50 or idk
Probably this one with sound expansions and SD3! :D
@@prod_adrian 🤑
:-D Have you checked out the drum-tec Silent Studio Sessions yet with the drum-tec pro Series, Roland TD-50 / cymbals and Toontrack Superior Drummer / SSD5 sounds through midi?
In my opinion that's pretty much as good as it gets in terms of ultra realistic playing feel & super authentic high end drum sounds:

Good Lord.....
:-D
Overall, I would give it a B-....Good sounds but for the price? Hmm. For the amount of money, I could get a top of line acoustic kit or a half-decent mid-range kit and have plenty of money left over for top-tier snares and cymbals. And they would last 25+ years if you took care of them. I love e-kits don’t get me wrong but dropping 7-8k on a kit that will have a shelf-life of 10 yrs (if you are lucky). This might be the world’s most expensive midi controller lol. For this price, the sounds have to be damn near VST quality and the hi-hat still sounds wonky. I like my TD-17, it’s great for hybrid and will trigger VSTs if I need to record. And last but not least...I give Ralf an A+ for his playing, hands down the best demo player on the webs. A lot of folks revere Nick from Sweetwater as the king but for my tastes, Nick is too technical, no swagger. Ralf has both the chops and the swag. Peace!
Nick D'Virgilio isn't really technical in his demos, he plays pretty straightforward and tries to showcase each part of a kit. Also, a Roland kit like this should last as long as you want it to!
@@jaydoode15 That’s one train of thought lol.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! :)
Unfortunately a top line acoustic kit doesn't come with the house that you need so as to play without disturbing your neighbors. If you don't already have one then you have a problem.
@@DarrenX9 Absolutely!
I have this exact kit for sale. If interested get back to me. It's only 6 months old.
all these great Roland sounds but ATV and EF NOTE still haven't figured out how to use a pair of brushes on their multi-thousand dollars e drums? I found that you can indeed use brushes on the TD27 and TD 50 Roland kits ....I have corrected my earlier comment
I don’t understand why these companies not team up with sample dev like GGD or SSd or SD3. Their samples are always better anyways. And for that price tag?
Yup...sounds like a digital kit..
Only 14 trigger ins? Whats up with that? Double that then it might be worth the price.
I’ve never heard a TD50 that didn’t sound… ‘fake’. They just don’t compare to an acoustic. I want to like them, but l’m always disappointed. It’s been many decades since the electric drum journey began, and in the late 90’s it started to seem like maybe we’d get realistic kits within a few years. Now it’s 2021 and they still don’t cut it. It’s quite disheartening.
Hi Thomas,
have you checked out the drum-tec Silent Studio Sessions yet:
czcams.com/play/PLfdIgOnHCc5piPaMAnQ1mzLKPpWdzKVuq.html
Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV I have, and they DO sound good but... using third party sounds. For a kit that costs so much it's weird that the Roland module sounds aren't top notch.
HI-HAT sounds like crap)))
Grande bosta, se ninguém pode comprar.
Big shit.
Virtually every preset kit needs some serious tweaking. Its like getting a new guitar FX pedal, all the presets have everything full on. First thing to do is switch the Overhead mics off, it will improve the sound immediately. The ballad kit is totally useless and STUPID. Some one at Roland has no ears and in the wrong job. only about 4 preset kits sound good enough to use. The rest I would delete.
I think the 18" deep kick is stupid for a physical aspect.. would rather see 16 or 14 depth for space saving.
