15 DRUM KITS FOR PLAYING ANY STYLE OF MUSICAn acoustic drum kit needs to be set up to play a specific style of music, leaving you with one type of sound. With the TD-1K, this isn't the case as it includes 15 quality drum kits built-in, enabling you to play any kind of music you want at the press of a button, from rock and blues to jazz, world music, EDM and more. At one practice session, you can rock hard with a heavy bottom-end sound, then instantly change kits to recreate the sound of your favourite band. Every kit reacts just like the acoustic and electronic kits they emulate, giving you a huge choice of variety in one compact, standalone instrument.

RESPONSIVE PADS & CYMBALSSome drummers often avoid electronic drums in fear that they won’t play like their acoustic counterparts. The Roland TD-1K removes this concern by fully supporting essential acoustic playing techniques, which is especially important for beginners to learn to play correctly. Every drum sound provides a wide dynamic range and natural tone, and the pads provide a full range of natural expression. Different to typical entry-level sets, the TD-1K’s cymbals feature the advanced expressiveness found in all TD-series V-Drums modules, including bow and edge sounds and support for cymbal chokes. The hi-hat reacts to the nuances of your footwork, adding personality and character to your playing. Great drumming is all about feel, and so is the TD-1K.

STAY MOTIVATED WITH ONBOARD TRAININGInside the TD-1K is a world of enjoyable functions that encourage learning, regardless if you’re teaching yourself to play, studying regularly with an instructor, or just want to keep your skills polished. Think of this kit as your own live-in drum teacher and personal backing band, full of tutorial features that develop technique, boost motivation, and help you get the most out of practice time. Jam along with the onboard metronome to tighten your timing, and use Coach mode to build and maintain speed, stamina, and accuracy. Get ready for your first band by jamming with the internal songs in the sound module, or connect a smartphone or music player using the Mix In jack and drum along with your favourite songs. Using the onboard recording function, you’ll get instant feedback of your progress and can quickly capture and playback a new fill or creative groove.

QUIET PRACTICETraditional acoustic drums are extremely loud, so playing them at home can become a nightmare for everyone else nearby. Quieter operation is a huge benefit of electronic drums, and the Roland TD-1K is particularly quiet where it matters, thanks to the sound module’s headphone jack and the noise-reducing design of the snare, tom, and cymbal pads. Many electronic drum kits often annoy the neighbors as the beater strikes the kick drum, but the TD-1K reduces volume with a special beater-less pedal design. Optional NE-10 Noise Eater units can be used under the kick and hi-hat pedals to further reduce noise transfer to other rooms below.
