The new benchmark in mid-priced e-drums
With its TD-17KVX2 e-drum set, Japanese manufacturer Roland has taken its successful mid-priced TD-17KVX model to the next level. The set now features 70 pre-set drum kits, 30 user memory slots, and 343 sounds, which are largely inspired by Roland’s flagship TD-50 series and focus on the reproduction of acoustic drum and percussion sounds. The kit, which comes complete with mesh head pads, features various play-along songs and training functions to create the perfect foundation for practice sessions, and offers the user wireless connection via a Bluetooth interface. The icing on the cake comes in the form of a sample import function, which allows the user to make further additions to the range of available sounds as required.

Sonorous cymbal pads
Unlike its predecessor, the TD-17KVX2 is fitted with newly developed dual and triple-zone cymbal pads, which measure 12 and 14 inches in diameter and, thanks to their special thin construction, provide a more realistic response compared with heavier cymbal pads. The 10" tom pads and 12" snare pad, all in a dual-zone design, are large enough to provide a comfortable playing feel – a feature also shared by the 12" VH-10 hi-hat pad, which, like traditional hi-hat cymbals, is mounted on a conventional stand. As with the bass drum pedal, however, this must be purchased separately. In terms of sound production, the primary focus of the TD-17KVX2 is on creating acoustic sounds that are both dynamic and authentic and, of course, include the sound repertoire of the classic Roland drum machines (CR-78, TR-808/909, etc.).

Spontaneous sound configuration
The Roland TD-17KVX2 e-drum set comfortably bridges the gap between intuitive useability and complex editing options, making it the perfect “plug-and-play” kit for discerning drumming enthusiasts and a creative recreational tool for sound artists and drummers looking to incorporate personalised sounds into their performances – be it for band rehearsals or live gigs. 32MB of memory provide sufficient space for up to 100 user samples. Sound variations in the form of tonal changes and damping can be applied in seconds, and separate potentiometers for bass, treble, and ambience provide an immediate sound adjustment facility. Key features include numerous multi-effects and a layer function, which allows the user to manage four sounds (2 x head, 2 x rim) with just one pad, thus permitting limitless creativity.
