Professional Quality in a Compact Kit
Great feeling, great sounding the V-Stage Series TD-12KV makes the middle range of the V-Drums line feel like first class.

Add a doughnut-style muffler on the snare or a weight-type muffler on the bass drum. The snare strainer can also be adjusted.
Choose from a variety of kick beaters, such as felt, wood, and plastic.

Add realistic sizzle to your cymbal with modeled rivets or a chain.
*The TD-12 only has rivets.
Unmatched Power, Articulation, & Sensitivity
The V-Drums magic begins with the location and strength of the stick on the pad, as well as the intervals of the strokes. From weak to strong, from the center of the pad to the edge, from single-shots to rolls, your performance data is translated with lightning-fast accuracy by the V-Drums central processor.
*Detection of hitting position and interval is only possible on the TD-20/12
Choose the placement of your virtual microphones. *Only possible on the TD-20.
Add realistic snare drum buzz to give your kits even more expression. The amount of buzz* (the resonance created on the tom and bass drum) can be varied to get just the right effect. *Adjustment of buzz amount is possible only on the TD-20.
*The TD-12 can only switch the buzz on and off.
The Best Sounds, the Most Expressive Performance
TD-20 is Rolands best-sounding percussion module ever, with over 500 sounds, plus superb dynamic range when used with the PD-125/105 V-Pads and VH-12 V-Hi-Hat. Superior sensitivity lets drummers play more naturally and without having to adjust their playing technique. Rimshot and bass drum sounds can be varied depending on how they are played, and with Rolands interval control technology, drummers can create more realistic snare rolls and cymbal swells.

Unbeatable Sound

With the same stunning sound quality as the flagship TD-20, the TD-12 drum module provides hundreds of expressive instruments and play-along sequences in a streamlined, affordable package. Many of the sounds in the TD-12, from drums to cymbals, are COSM modeled for the ultimate in expression and realism. The module provides the same large, icon-based LCD as its big brother (the TD-20), and is housed in a road-tough, metallic black chassis with a friendly array of buttons, controls, and mix sliders. Twelve trigger inputs are provided, plus four audio outputs and MIDI I/O.

Advanced V-Editing

The modeling-based V-Editing starts from careful analysis of an entirely drum sounds. Drummers are free to change parameters such as cymbal size, type of sizzle (e.g. rivets or chain), and microphone position. Several types of kick beaters can also be selected, including felt, wood, and plastic. For the hi-hat, you can also add a tambourine. The TD-20 can even model snare buzz (the resonance created on the tom and bass drum) for startling realism.

REAR PANEL

Unrivaled V-Editing
Enjoy the dozens of expert-programmed kits in the TD-12 from authentic acoustic sets to ultra-modern electronic flavors. But the fun doesnt stop there; customize your snare drum, toms, bass drum, and cymbals with the modeling-based V-Editing. Change sizes and materials, attach sizzles to cymbals, add snare buzz, and more. Then get out your sticks and enjoy! The TD-12 supports positional sensing on the snare and ride, as well as on the toms when you play rimshots. The TD-12 is also brush compatible, and features the authentic Interval Control feature for the snare and ride/crash/china cymbal, which varies the sound in natural ways based on the speed of stroke repetition.
Enhanced Performance Features
Eight group faders let drummers adjust the mix balance of the kits components, while 15 Pad Compressors and EQs make shaping sounds easy. Theres also a 6-part sequencer loaded with preset backing patterns and plenty of room for your own, plus onboard effects such as Ambience and a Mastering Room for adding compression and EQ to the overall sound. A choice of 10 analog outputs and a S/PDIF digital output offer plenty of options when mixing live or in the studio. It also has 15 dual trigger inputs, so if you own a standard TD-20K drum kit, you have four extra inputs to add more pads.

Display Parameter Rhythmic Notes level/type 3 types Practice Content
An excellent warm-up exercise that also teaches note values. The metronome plays through a series of beat divisions every two measures, starting with half notes, up to 16th-note triplets, and then back down to half notes again. Designed to develop good timing skills through visual use of the display. As you play along with the metronome, your performance is measured against the timing of the click, and the result is displayed. A timing exercise designed to develop "internal" timing. The metronome will play at the set volume for the first 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 measures, then play the second 8 measures at a reduced volume, challenging you to maintain the proper tempo throughout. Similar to Time Check, except that the metronome advances five beats per minute whenever a rhythm is played for eight measures with the correct timing. This continues until the metronome's maximum tempo is reached. Designed to build stamina by increasing the metronome one beat per minute every two beats until the maximum tempo is reached. The tempo then decreases in the same manner and the process repeats. Designed to develop playing endurance by increasing the metronome's tempo five beats per minute every eight measures until the maximum tempo is achieved. The tempo then decreases in the same manner and the process repeats. A voice count-in function that can be very useful for practicing. There is also a visual measure counter in the display.

Unique features that only V-Drums provide
The TD-9 beautifully conveys the dynamics and nuance of your playing with features such as 3-way triggering on the V-Cymbal ride and support for rim shots on toms and snare. Other features enhance performance, such as the USB connector, which lets you incorporate audio data (wav files) great for one-man-band type performances. You can also use the USB port to save data externally. The TD-9 is equipped with a metronome function and a Mix input to enable practice with songs from CD or digital-audio players. Inputs are also provided for adding pads and triggers* for a personalized setup.
*While the TD-9 uses a dedicated pad-input connector cable, there are also separate expansion jacks for two other trigger-input types (CRASH2, AUX).

*V-Drums Lite HD-1 is available only as a complete kit. The sound source, pads, stands, etc., are not sold individually. *Monitor speakers, mats, and sticks sold separately.
The HD-1 is forged from the same technology as its V-Drums predecessors, but it's smaller, more affordable, and much simpler to use. Its also incredibly quiet, thanks to the newly designed kick beater, cushioned tom pads, and snare head. Most of the HD-1s components are mounted on one stand for easy setup and transport, and for a clean look. Just take it out of the box and play.
Monitoring the HD-1 through headphones is ideal for private practice, but when you want your drumming to be heard in the room, the PM-01 personal monitor is the ideal solution. Its small, great-sounding, affordable, and a perfect cosmetic match for the HD-1.
This drum mat is specially designed for the HD-1 V-Drums Lite. It helps reduce vibration and protect against floor damage.
