ROLAND TD-50KV2 V-Drums

The flagship TD-50KV2 represents the pinnacle of V-Drums innovation and offers the most sophisticated electronic drumming experience available. The kit features the most advanced pads and cymbals, including groundbreaking digital snare, ride cymbals and hi-hats that bring incredibly detailed playability to three of the most expressive instruments in the kit. The next generation TD-50X module offers unsurpassed sound, feel and response coupled with in-depth editing tools that let you fully customize your sound, and professional connectivity to handle any situation. If you're looking for the best V-Drums performance, the TD-50KV2 is the one for you.

Prismatic Sound Modeling: feel the difference for yourself

The TD-50X's Prismatic Sound Modeling technology can breathe life into electronic drums like no other system, enriching multi-layered samples recorded in world-class studios with refined modeling techniques honed over more than two decades. The module can create an unlimited range of sonic hues with every stroke - the initial onset of sound is followed by a complex blend of rich harmonic tones, just like playing acoustic drums and cymbals. With the TD-50X, drumming knows no boundaries, from subtle overtones and detailed articulation to the loudest and most intense beats.

Roland digital pads: a revolution in electronic drumming

Groundbreaking technology for digital pads perfectly capitalizes on the vast expressive potential of Prismatic Sound Modfeling technology. Multi-sensor detection on the snare, ride cymbal and hi-hat combine with lightning-fast processing in the TD-50X module to bring authentic acoustic nuance and detail to all three key elements of the drum kit. This translates all your playing techniques such as muting the ride cymbal with a gentle touch, or alternating between playing on the mud, edge, or with the cross stick technique on the snare at will. The whole experience is perfected by the groundbreaking VH-14D model, which offers touch sensitivity, tone variation and a solution for closed and open position playing never before available on electronic hi-hats.

Authentic mesh bellows

The TD-50KV2 kit features Roland's renowned multi-layered mesh blanks, which, in a version with three layers for the virblo and two layers for the toms, provide natural resistance and rebound when played with mallets for a thoroughly satisfying feel and response. As with blan acoustic drums, you can adjust the tension using standard tools. And because mesh bellows make very little acoustic noise, the TD-50KV2 kit is perfect for both quiet practice with headphones and live performance, where total control over volume is essential.

Go big

With a standard instrument layout and large-diameter virblo and tom pads, the TD-50KV2 evokes the stunning ambience of a high-end acoustic kit. The 18-inch KD-180 kick provides the authentic feel and impact of a traditional kick, but with Roland's special damping mechanics that provide natural resistance and perfectly reliable pickup. The large cymbal pads are 40% thinner than previous generations, offering the best response to mallet stroke yet.

Immediate playing pleasure

Imagine acoustic drums that are voiced, processed and mixed in a world-class studio - that's exactly what you get when you load a preset on the TD-50X. Created in collaboration with top drummers and recording experts, these inspiring kits let you play any style from jazz to the hardest metal at the touch of a button.

A sound that's all yours

If you want to go beyond presets, the TD-50X lets you customize everything at every level - just like an acoustic rig. You can quickly change the tuning or damping, or dive deep and build a rig from the ground up, where you choose the ideal body depth, bellows type, cymbal characteristics and more. You can then place this rig in whatever space you want, using PureAcoustic Ambience technology, where you have total control over room type, echo, stereo width and more.

Studio always at your fingertips

Once you've fine-tuned the details of your rig, you can bring it to perfection with an impressive array of professional studio tools. Adjust microphone settings for different elements of your rig and bring sounds into play with equalizers, compressors and other types of processing. Then just turn to a wide selection of high-quality reverbs and multi-effects to add spaciousness and colour.

Mix music anywhere

When performing with electronic drums, the ability to process sounds outside the kit is absolutely key. The TD-50X module has ten fully adjustable outputs from which you can send any drum kit you need to the sound engineer, with or without effects. And with the on-panel faders, you can easily control the mix directly from the stage when you're playing alone. The TD-50KV2 also excels at computer music production, as it can send up to 32 simultaneous channels of digital audio plus MIDI via USB for the best quality audio.

Your personal teaching assistant

The TD-50X module is packed with features that make every practice session productive and satisfying. Improve your sense of rhythm with the metronome and Coach mode exercises, or just jam with music playing from your smartphone or laptop. The built-in recorder lets you record and review your playing whenever you want, plus you can easily export and share the audio (with or without accompanying music). You can take your practice even further with the free Melodics™ computer app, which offers 40 lessons and, through a paid membership, unlimited access when you're ready.
