      Are you me? I know this was a year ago now but I played from 12-13 up to 18 when I moved countries and only played a few times until I picked this kit up last week at nearly 28. It's amazing how much you retain really. Nearly 10 years of not playing, haven't even touched a kit in around 6 years, yet I'm straight back into it :)

    The great thing about these Roland TD sets is that it alleviates the problem of getting drums miked correctly in the studio. Now you can plug your drums right into your board,and forget worries about "room sound",or which mics to use.. You can create your "room sound" with your reverb unit.Also,you can pick multiple drum sets which you can't do except in the largest studios.You can now record EVERYTHING (except maybe a horn or string section) in your apartment,condo or your house with disturbing anyone. These sets enable even the smallest production company to compete with the "big boys".

I liked the fact that that one already has double pedals, but the price on this caught my eye. So my question for any of you is should I spend more and get that one, or save some money and get this? I also want to know if I can record some beats (without the metronome but still using it) to the USB?? Oh and 2 more questions. Do I have to eventually have to change the heads? And can I program in a certain sound...like some dubstep sounds or maybe a dog bark lol? Let me know. Thanks.

      Hey, Bob. You are correct, this sound module does not have a traditional MIDI input and output, just USB. So, if you would like to be able to use another brain you would be replacing the one that comes with this kit. However, if you interfaced the module with a computer there are a number of great drum applications that you would be able to use it with to expand your sound palette. Great question!

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Před 4 lety

      Hello, Linda! The TD-1DMK will need either an amplifier or a set of headphones to be heard. The pads and cymbals connect to the module via a proprietary wiring diagram. That said, the pads can be used with another module if new cables are purchased for said module. External sounds cannot be loaded into this module.

And of course, if you are using for recording, then you can capture your performance on the TD1 in MIDI data and use whatever sounds you want in your DAW. Let me know if you have other questions.

    Hi Nick.
    Like so many others, I loved your review... a lot of information and very little BS. On the back of your review I purchased this item for my children ( and, maybe, me...) You mentioned the phrase " Right out of the box " several times. However you did not mention that this product cannot be played " right out of the box" as it does not come with drum sticks and, more significantly ( and certainly more expensively!) it does not come with a kick pedal for the bass unit! Worthy of mention in an independent review, I would have thought.
    You also state that you assembled the entire kit in 10 minutes.....this is plainly not true as you had a kick pedal and drum sticks! Also, as a veteran of multiple assemblies, both furniture and musical, it took me 10 minutes to figure out where the hell to arrange the pieces for assembly ( after taking about 8 minutes to release them from their packaging )
    I challenge you to post a real time video showing your 10 minute assembly..." Right out of the box", as you say yourself!
    I know zip about drums or how to assemble / play them but I am truly encouraged by your excellent review. Just give us the reality messages too...
    Love your relaxed style and encouragement oozing from this review....

If the speaker takes a 1/4" plugin you will have to buy a 1/8" male to 1/4" female adapter to plug into the module, at which you can plug a 1/4" aux cord from the module to the speaker.

Snare plays way better on the TD17, 15 kits on the TD1, 50 on the TD17, bluetooth capabilities on the TD17, as well. Of course a bit more money, too. But the TD17KV is a much better kit. I hope that is helpful.

    can the snare get cross stick sound?

      Hello, Chandra! The TD1 module does not support cross sticking in the traditional sense, but if you are to strike the head and the rim simultaneously, it will produce a rim shot tone, which could be used in place of a cross stick.
      Thanks for the interest!
