Great Sounds Lead to Great PerformancesThe TD-17’s sound engine delivers a superior drumming experience, thanks to its advanced Prismatic Sound Modeling technology. Just like acoustic drums, you can play with wide dynamic range and dramatic tonal changes depending on where and how hard you strike the pad. From rimshots, rolls, flams, and ghost notes on the snare to natural hi-hat transitions, dramatic crash hits, sustained cymbal swells, and more, every nuance is detailed, accurate, and ultra-smooth.
Find the Perfect Kit for the Music You PlayThe TD-17 module includes 70 premium-quality preset kits for a range of professional musical scenarios. Experience the warm vibes of “Acoustic,” or play on a small stage with the tight “Shallow Mini” kit. Rock heavy in the wide-open expanse of “Arena Stage,” or go for maximum recording clarity with the clean and defined “BigWoodShell” kit. And that’s just a start—whatever music drives your passion, the TD-17 will help you get there.
Download Extra Kits from Roland CloudYou’re not just limited to the preset kits inside the TD-17 module.

The Essential Tools to Improve Your DrummingFirst things first: drummers should be able to keep a solid beat before moving on to the exciting stuff. But mastering the basics can be exciting too, as it builds a solid foundation for growing as a musician. The TD-17 module includes a Coach mode to sharpen your skills with daily practice tools, complete with progress tracking that motivates you to improve. Play through warm-ups, develop your sense of groove, tempo, and timing, and even work on your stamina.
Record. Listen. Learn.Listening back to your drumming is one of the best ways to improve. The TD-17 module has an onboard recorder that lets you hear and evaluate what you actually played—not what you thought you played. Record solo sessions or drum along with the TD-17 demo songs, audio stored on an SD card, or music streamed from your phone. Along with self-evaluation, it’s an easy way to capture high-quality audio for YouTube performance videos.
