Roland TD12KXS V-Stage Electronic Drum Set

Roland TD12KXS V-Drum V-Stage Electronic Drum Set

The Roland TD12KXS has been redesigned for high-impact performance and recording. Bigger pads, stronger hardware, and enhanced V-Edit capabilities anchor the TD12KXS V-Stage kit. The drum rack and mounting hardware have been redesigned as well, providing an extra solid feel with enhanced pad mounting and placement.

The KD120 kick pad is larger and more stable, as is the PD105 floor-tom pad, offering a more natural look and feel around the kit. Enhanced V-Edit features have also been added to the TD12KX package for a wider variety of custom sounds. For drummers who want the best V-Drums sound and performance without the larger footprint and price of the flagship TD20SX, the TD12KX is the ideal instrument.

The Drums

Roland's patented multi-layer mesh head V-Pads and cymbals offer exceptional playability and expressiveness...and look pretty good too. Not only do they feel like acoustic drum heads and real cymbals, but they can be tuned like real drums allowing you to tension the heads to suit your particular needs. The free swinging cymbals provide for a natural cymbal performance with features like a 3-way triggering ride cymbal that responds differently when struck at the bell, plate and edge. In other words, because there are 3 different sound capabilities built into the one pad, it actually plays like a real cymbal.

For an enhanced look and feel, the TD12KXS' kick and floor-tom pads have been upgraded to the larger KD120 and PD105. Not only do the bigger pads look more substantial, they also provide a more natural feel and response.

The Brain: TD12 Drum Module

Drummer's need to be versatile because they're expected to be masters of an endless variety of music styles. Isn't it about time you had a kit that can keep up with the same spastic style changes that your playing demands?

Whether for a speed-metal jam or a jazz combo session, the TD12 module has a top-notch option that will suit your needs. With 50 fully editable drum kits and hundreds of expressive instruments and play-along sequences, the TD12KX is as flexible as your playing is. Many of the sounds in the TD12 are COSM modeled for the ultimate in expression and realism. The module provides the same large, icon-based LCD as its big brother, and is housed in a road-tough, gun-metal gray chassis with a friendly array of buttons, controls, and mix sliders. A dozen trigger inputs are provided, plus four audio outputs and MIDI I/O.

Dual triggering and velocity sensitive pads mean you have complete control over the way your drums respond to your playing. If you need 'em to sound louder, play 'em harder. Simple, right?

Right.

Enhanced V-Edit

Enjoy the dozens of expert-programmed kits onboard the TD12 -- from authentic acoustic sets to ultra-modern electronic flavors. But the fun doesn't stop there; customize your drum set with enhanced V-Edit features, which let you change sizes and materials, mic-positioning, attach virtual sizzles to cymbals, increase snare buzz, and more. The TD12 supports positional sensing on the snare and ride to realize the delicate nuances of each impact location. The TD12 is also brush compatible, and features the expressive Interval Control for the snare and cymbals, which varies the sound in natural ways based on the speed of stroke repetition.

The Hardware

The MDS12X drum rack is streamlined yet incredibly solid. New ball-clamp mounts for the snare, tom, and cymbal pads combat one of the drummer's most frustrating obstacles; proper drum and cymbal positioning. Combined with the enlarged pads, the new rack creates an overall look that's more substantial and solid.
