ROLAND TD-17KV

Roland has introduced a new series of electronic drums TD-17, which is represented by three models with different levels of equipment - TD-17KL, TD-17KV and TD-17KVX. At the heart of all the kits is the all-new TD-17 module with an upgraded set of sounds based on Roland's flagship TD-50. It offers more than 300 high-quality percussion sounds and 100 drum kits that can be further easily edited. Also new is the ability to import your own samples. Combined with pre-recorded sounds and their easy editing, endless creative possibilities open up, which you can also record to a regular SD card.

The Roland TD-17KV is a happy medium among the TD-17 series models. It comes with a Bluetooth interface for streaming music or MIDI files from smartphones and tablets, so you can easily practice, record or play along with your favourite music.

Included is the MDS-COMPACT ramp and the new PDX-12 dual-zone mesh snare pad, whose unusual 12" diameter will make playing more enjoyable and allow you to incorporate new techniques. There's also a trio of PDX-8 tom pads, a pair of CY-8 cymbals, a CY-5 hi-hat and an FD-9 hi-hat pedal, with the cymbals and hi-hat also dual-zone, of course. The all-new KD-10 bass pad is compatible with both single and double pedals, so players of all genres will find something to love. A hi-hat stand is not included, so it must be purchased separately.

Roland TD-17 kits work well in the hands of beginners and professionals alike - both groups will appreciate the rugged construction that stands up to rough handling, intuitive controls, myriad features and unprecedentedly true-to-life sounds.
