    I’ve watched your video several times I learned so much from your knowledge you shared. Thank you again for The countless hours you spent to educate cpeople who are interested in information about Drum modules! I’ve watched numerous tutorials about drum modules, and this video is by far The most information I’ve learned on the categories I lacked knowledge knowing. Looking forward to more videos in the future!

    I have had my td30kv since 2 months after they were released and can safely say I’ve never had any wear on the cymbals. Using new sticks definitely helps I always use a different pair for an acoustic kit than I would for the electric. Only wear and tear I have had really has been on the meshes but an easy replacement to do

    We set up a brand new Roland kv-30 with a double pedal and a huge monitor set up. Ive been playing over 35 years and have been on countless tours and studios, yes it is the best electronic kit. It was like playing the best sounding and best feeling kits every time you sat down on it. It never changed. I would make micro changes as far as mic placement and reverb adjustments and found I liked it dryer but it was endless to how well you can dial the sounds in. Its like no other electronic kit ive ever played. As a matter of a fact I didn't care for them and always you a couple pads for accent around my acoustic kit live. This kit is different. It is as serious as you are and as serious as you want to be.

    Excellent review. I have had my TD-30KV for a few years now and learned some very valuable things that I didn't know from fiddling around with it myself. I love the set and have it maxed out on pad inputs now, thanks to deals found on ebay. I wish I had just 2 more aux inputs for cymbals so I wouldn't have to split a couple of triggers. No such thing as too many cymbals!

    Great video: Love my TD-30KV! Finally a video that proudly promotes one of the finest edrum kits ever made. Well done! Here's an artifact of interest: The TD-30 module can also be MIDIed to an old Roland PM-16 Drum Pad Midi Interface which will expand your inputs to 16 more pads/triggers! I've used this interface and it has some very good features including MIDI layering. They go for under 100 USD on eBay, Amazon or Reverb.

  • @HXC060592
    @HXC060592 Před 5 lety +1

    First off, been following you guys for a long time, your videos are high quality and informative and I've watched them many times over and always seem to glean something new. Second, for anyone reading, the TD-30 is widely available online which is where I snagged mine up for 1300 dollars, and let me tell you, it was money well spent.
    My only beefs with the TD-30 is that the stock snare sounds are just totally bad outside of 2 samples (the maple snare is passable and the custom wood one is the best). The kick/toms/cymbals however are a ridiculously huge step up from the TD-9 and the TD- 20. The bad samples and in particular the snare is something that seems to really plague all but the highest end of electric drum modules, I've played the top of the line Alesis and Yamaha kits as well and was like, "wow these are somehow even worse then Roland's snare sounds" so it must just be a thing in the E-drum world and not exclusive to Roland.
    The video mentions the fact that you have to, "dig around" in the module a bit, I'm gonna say that to anyone that isn't really experienced using drum modules, "dig around" is an understatement. This things got features and setting adjustments for days and days and days. I was already used to low end modules owning the TD-15 before hand, and I had to watch numerous videos/read numerous forum articles/mess around and dig endlessly just to wrap my head around the basic editing power. I've had the module for 6 months I'm barely learning how to use the USB to it's full capability and it's opening up so many possibilities.
    All in all, go buy this thing, I've got my kit dialed in so smooth I'd stack it up against a 5,000$ acoustic kit with brand new heads any day.

  • @danmayo9182
    @danmayo9182 Před 5 lety +2

    Thanks so much for posting this video -- I learned a ton! Now I understand exactly how the triggering system on the 108/128 pads (which I play) differs from other Roland pads. I was particularly interested in your comment that Drum-Tec pads won't perform as well as a 128 since I'm interested in the Drum-Tec Pro 14" snare -- not because I'm displeased with the 128, but rather because of the bigger size. That said, if the Drum-Tec pad isn't going to trigger as well, or exhibit more hot-spotting, then I don't think I would go there (particularly given how expensive the DT pad is). I have to agree that the 128 has less hot-spotting compared to earlier Roland pads, and I have no desire to go backwards in that regard. Any additional insight you could provide in this regard would be most welcome. Thanks again!

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  Před 5 lety

      Well that trigger technology is patented, so drum-tec cannot use it. Their pads however are good in another way, they reduce hottspotting trough a non stretchy mesh head that is tensioned. However, I believe the PD-128 does still perform a bit better. The drum-tech pads are still great though.

      The TD-30 will be the new TD-10 imo, unless something drastically changed in vdrum technology, I could see this module being used 20 years from now. Td-10 came out in 97, and some people still using it for vst triggering. I had one as well, used it for vst triggering and just the module sounds only for my electronic music and it worked and sounded great. I sold it to another drummer who’s td-10 screen died and gave him friend price 140$

Thx, also for stating the sounds do not match the TD50. Why in the world would they down grade output, etc features, if I understand this correctly = to the TD50 or the big kit expansions of more pads or no USB for kits saves & updates. The Silver cymbals have 1 issue : build up on frame edge inside that must be cleaned out periodically. The black cymbals/rim covers dont stain head, but the silver cymbals. Right on.

    I was very interested in your statement that SD3 is optimized for the TD30 (which I play). I've watched a lot of different videos on the TD50, Mimic Pro, SD3, SSD and some other VST's. Some sound better than others but SD3 is the only one that makes me REALLY want to make a switch. It will likely be my next upgrade. I think the only reason I haven't done it is because I don't have the time to invest into digging in and learning the software (and it's obviously designed with the power user in mind). For now, sticking with my TD30 (though I'm definitely aware of its limitations, I'm not displeased with it) but it's good to have some more reassurance that the upgrade path should be relatively smooth. Thanks!

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  Před 5 lety +1

      It depends on the user. The VST user does not need a Mimic, but the live drummer and the non-VST drummer, geeks, etc, should look into the mimic. It has a percussion set, many inputs and even some trigger adjustment settings that the TD-30 does not have. I am not a big fan of the touchscreen, but everything else is just great with the Pearl Mimic, most of all, the sounds.

    TD11 have some decent rimshot capability. Got a set myself (+ extra cymbal and double pedals), it's not THE best of VDrums, but it is fun to play, i can grab symbols to silence them, do ride, bell and splash too.
    I have played the TD-30 KV in a store, i can only describe the feeling as... well, when you go from like cheap €100 drums to the TD 11/15 type VDrums... that difference is as distinct between the 11/15 and the 30. It feels more like playing on REAL drums. Was kind of expensive at the time, but if i was a professional drummer i would have bought the 30 without even blinking.

    Say whatever you want about the TD-30, but I've had my set for 6 years now and it has been a gigging workhorse. This year I've flown four times with it (in cases) and it never disappoints. It truly shines in the studio with its full MIDI in/out and it also reduces massively the need to barricade the drummer off.
    It also has some very powerful chain and rotation capabilities that can be "recorded" and played on demand by a foot switch..... Very useful in "one-man shows" not to even mention VST.
    It has its warts, to be sure, but it's made its money back for me easily.

    Curious if your still on here. Similar to my strike pro, when using direct out, seems all effects, eq, ambience and compression are gone, just the dry signal. I know most sound engineers in the clubs I play at don't have the time or interest in dialing these sounds in so feel like I need to send the LR to the FOH. Is this correct and is there a work around? In my experience, some of the ambience and compression cant be reproduced in a club mixing board? Figured, I could always send the LR of the full mix too and they could add some kick snare or toms etc but not pull sounds out?

    • @Vdrumtips1

      Well, there are some people that prefer the TD-30 sounds over the TD-50 sounds. It is also a matter of taste. I personally like the 50s sounds more. Others do even prefer the TD-20 sounds.

    • @johndef5075
      @johndef5075 Před 5 lety

      Its all opinion! Most people could make some pretty good sounding kits with this module. Plus they never take into account headphones monitors and other variables that affect sound. I played a td-25 and a td-50 back to back in a drum shop and the td 25 sounded better to me. Could have been the headphones.

  • @TruthAndMoreTruth

    For the price of this kit one could buy an Alesis strike pro, a MacBook pro, an audio interface, Logic Pro recording software, Easy Drummer software, and a GoPro camera to film videos with, and still have money left over.
    Roland may be the first and the best, but unless they start providing better value, they're going to lose as their patients run out.

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  Před 5 lety +3

      I disagree. The Strike has massive issues and so many people have problems with it, because parts are poorly engineered and fail. Furthermore is it not of the same quality, neither is it as dynamic as a Roland flagship and also does it come with a much higher latency. If money is the concern then I would rather play a second hand TD12 and trigger a VST than a Strike.

    • @stonewall618
      @stonewall618 Před 5 lety +1

      I would have to disagree as well. I just picked up a set of TD-17KVX and it is absolutely the best sounding Vdrums I have ever played. And the kit is cheaper than same as the alesis strike pro at around $1600. I spent 4 hours in guitar center playing both kits and the TD-17 sounded so much better and the pads also felt more like real drums. My only real complaint is the rack and the bass drum. But I plan to upgrade it to a Gibraltar rack in the future replace the bass drum with a better one. All in with DW 3000 Hi hat stand and Dw 3000 double base pedal and throne I spend $2400 and it was worth every penny. My band just recorded our first album and The producer couldn't get over how well the electronic drum set sounded. If you are looking for a cheap alterative to the TD30 That is the td-17 is defiantly the way to go.

    • @TruthAndMoreTruth
      @TruthAndMoreTruth Před 5 lety +1

      This review is for the TD-30, not the TD-17, hence my comparison is to that of a TD-30, and the cost of owning a TD-30. Not really sure what your point is, but maybe you should have typed in on a comment board for a video about that TD-17?
      But, since you brought it up, the Alesis strike (not the strike pro) is a closer comparison to the TD-17, with a retail of $1,699.

    • @stonewall618
      @stonewall618 Před 5 lety

      The fact is. he sites the td17 head in this video. And Roland makes the best sounding vdrums hands down. The alesis strike is a complete waist of money. And you get what you pay for. I was merely stating that if you were looking for a quality set of v drums at a good price then thats the kit to go with. It wasnt an attack. and there are 3 versions of the td-17s starting at $999 for the TD-17KL, the TD-17KV for $1199... and the top end of that kit (What i have) is the td-17kvx and it retails for 1599 at guitar center. I wanted the 3 cymbals and the real feel high hat which is why I went with the kvx. I would agree that the TD-30s is a cool brain because of all the stuff you can interface with it. and it has more options that the TD-17 but the sound of the drums from that unit is like nothing else I have heard.

    • @stonewall618
      @stonewall618 Před 5 lety

      and a side note... If you really want to compare price for price and quality against quality. talk to any real drummer that actually cares about sound quality and they will all tell you that alesis has nothing on roland and like you said they hold all the patents. Because they are the ones driving the electronic drum world. Also read what he thinks about alesis... and you sited the strike pro's so I was giving you a better option for the same money.

    You can do sound layering with a midi cable plugged into the in and out then use percussion sets to layer sounds. It’s a “hack” work around for the module. So wish this percussion set feature was on td-27 and Td-50 module. I really want to upgrade to td-27, however I have thought about the td-30 instead. The biggest downside is no sample import. I know I could use ableton live to load samples

It depends on the seller and a bit on luck aswell. So 3000€/$ is a good price. And 3500-4000 is an ok price. Age and condition are a big factor.
