Roland TD-50KVX-S V-Drum Electronic Kit

V-Drums Redefined: Ultimate Expression for Pro Performance and Studio Work

Maybe anyone, including you, can be called as an ambitious pro drummer, in that case you know that anything less than the ultimate sound and feel will hold you back. That where we introduce the new Roland TD-50KVX-S  - the flagship release in our acclaimed V-Drums range, designed for top-flight eclectic studio work, live performance and intense practice sessions. Created professionally on the foundation of the new TD-50 module with Prismatic Sound Modeling, this electronic kit is intended for delivering Roland’s wide-ranging and most impressive sounds yet. The advanced processor is complemented by newly developed ride and snare pads, which are created with multi-element high-speed and sensor systems digital communication with the module. The kit also includes top-line crash, hi-hat, and tom pads, and the module is providing flexible connectivity and deep editing features to put you in charge. The KD-220 Bass Drum features a 22-inch wooden shell, which provides acoustic feel and big stage presence. The Roland TD-50KVX-S is offering unmatched expression and supreme playability, and is the new pro standard in electronic drums.

Dynamic Prismatic Sound Modeling Brings Your Drumming To Life

Great drummers demand great performance, and at the heart of the Roland TD-50KVX, you’ll find the TD-50—a powerful new sound module whose original Prismatic Sound Modeling technology means that every element of your playing style is caught and conveyed in thrilling detail. Working alongside the TD-50KVX’s newly developed snare and ride cymbal pads—which feature our most advanced trigger-sensing technology yet—the TD-50’s high-resolution processing gives you the most lifelike, resonant, and expressive sounds you’ll hear from an electronic kit.

Play Genuine Snare Techniques with the New 14-Inch PD-140DS

Working alongside the TD-50 sound module is the PD-140DS digital snare pad, which brings a new level of expression to your snare work. A brand-new, three-layer mesh head is fitted to a standard size 14-inch shell, providing natural rebound and feel that’s instantly familiar to play. And now, thanks to Roland’s newly developed multi-element sensor system, your strokes across every area of the pad are more closely detected, and your playing dynamics captured in minute detail. In addition, traditional cross stick technique is automatically detected as the pad senses your hand and adjusts accordingly. With the unmatched response of the PD-140DS, every snare nuance is natural, detailed, and bursting with character.

Express Yourself with Larger Cymbals, Including the New CY-18DR Ride

Cymbal choice is a serious business, and the new TD-50KVX includes some of the best. It features larger crash cymbals (CY-14C and CY-15R) than its TD-50K sister kit, and expressive players will also benefit from the new CY-18DR V-Cymbal Ride. With its regular 18-inch size and familiar motion during performance, this new digital cymbal fits seamlessly into your kit. Meanwhile, the high-resolution, multi-sensor system within the cymbal pad continuously detects every stroke from edge to bell, working alongside the TD-50 module for dynamics and response that have never before been heard from a cymbal pad. Put the CY-18DR through its paces with techniques from cymbal legato to soft bell strokes and hear the detail for yourself. You can even mute the bow with a finger touch!

KD-220 Bass Drum for Enhanced Acoustic Feel and Strong Visual Presence

There’s no denying the satisfying feel and onstage presence of an old-school acoustic bass drum. If you love the feel of your acoustic kick, the KD-220 Bass Drum will feel instantly familiar. With incredible feel, thanks to Roland’s innovative air-damper mechanics which work alongside the 22-inch acoustic shell to ‘move air’ and provide resistance as the beater hits the head, the KD-220 delivers stable and accurate triggering with authentic acoustic feel. The KD-220 is compatible with single and double kick pedals**.

VH-13 V-Hi-Hat with Advanced Motion Sensor for Natural Hi-Hat Response

The VH-13 hi-hat offers a two-piece structure with top and bottom cymbal pads for a natural playing feel. It also features advanced motion sensor and triggering technologies for authentic response, with smooth open-to-closed control. Just like an acoustic hi-hat, you can alter the closed tone by pressing harder on the pedal, and play foot splashes as well.

Customize Your Sound for Live Sessions and Studio Work

A variety of musical scenarios are no problem with the TD-50, which offers a choice of onboard kits to suit every session. This advanced module also supports deep sound customization, including basic adjustment of heads and shells, layering of internal and user samples, and adjustment of overhead mics and ambience. For tailored performance, a compressor and three-band EQ can be controlled for each pad individually, while three independent multi-effect sections let you treat specific drums with 30 effect types such as delay, flanger, saturator, and many others. The two-band multi-compressor and four-band equalizer on the output let you change the overall dynamics and tonal balance, depending on whether you’re in the studio or on stage. And with the new Snapshot feature, you can quickly assess and compare any edits to your sounds before making permanent changes.

Practice Features to Develop Your Technique

The TD-50KVX is the choice for serious drummers, but there’s always room for improvement. This new kit doesn’t just let your drum technique shine; it actively improves it too, offering onboard features that help you get the best from practice sessions. Whether you lock down your timing with the Quiet Count function or play along to backing tracks via the SD card slot, it’s easy to get inspired, even when you’re practicing alone.

Hit the Stage Faster With Balanced Connections to a PA

If you play live every night, the TD-50KVX will help avoid the time and effort of a lengthy setup. The TD-50 is the first V-Drums module to feature an XLR stereo master out and eight TRS direct outs, allowing for a balanced connection to a PA system. Assigning a pad to any of the individual outputs is simple, while convenient master/headphones volume controls and group faders balance the output levels instantly. You can also assign the volume to control headphones only, perfect for adjusting the monitor level without affecting the PA signal.

Play with your own WAV files and record easily to a DAW

As a creative drummer, you’ll love the TD-50KVX’s open-ended connectivity, which lets inspiration flow in both directions. Using the module’s SD card slot, it’s easy to trigger your own WAV files using any of the TD-50KVX’s drum pads, and you can loop or layer them alongside the internal sounds while controlling volume and tone via the TD-50’s front panel. When you write a great groove, simply connect the TD-50 module to a computer via USB for multi-track recording direct to your favorite DAW. Up to 10 channels can be recorded separately, then easily edited for tone color and more. There’s even a choice of audio sampling formats: 48 kHz, 96 kHz, and the standard 44.1 kHz.
