Roland TD-1DMK V-Drums Set

***DOUBLE PEDAL SOLD SEPARATELY***

The Roland TD-1DMK provides a fulfilling drumming experience in a compact kit that’s easy to move around. The simple-yet-powerful module includes a variety of expressive drum kits, connected to Roland’s double-mesh pads for snare and toms. These pads use two layers of mesh material for realistic ‘rebound’ (where the drum stick bounces back after hitting the drum), just like on an acoustic kit. Although durable, they’re quiet to play too, and great for late-night practice sessions. You can play with headphones, so you won’t disturb family or neighbors, and with onboard coach functions and the ability to connect to Melodics drum training software, you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll improve. Pick up the sticks, take a deep breath and pull up to the TD-1DMK. A lifetime of drumming awaits – so what are you waiting for?

*Depending on the room and surface on which the TD-1DMK is played, additional noise damping from Roland NE-10 Noise Eaters may be required

For Beginners—Start Playing Drums
If you’ve haven’t played drums before, you might think it’ll be too difficult, or that learning on an electronic kit is complicated. The TD-1DMK is a hassle-free drum kit that’s easy to set up and intuitive to use. Just connect the power, switch on and connect either your headphones or monitor speakers. You’re ready to start playing an authentic-sounding collection of drums, with a choice of 15 preset kits, for a realistic and engaging drumming experience. And when it’s time to start working on your drum skills, onboard coach functions and Melodics for V-Drums software let you learn the essentials and quickly start climbing the ladder. Weighing just 15 lb., it’s easy to move around in your home too, so whether you’re playing solo or want to perform for your friends and family, the TD-1DMK can go wherever you play.

For Parents—Help Develop Your Child’s Sense of Rhythm
When your child learns a musical instrument, they also learn about life. And along with discipline and determination, the sheer enjoyment they’ll get when playing drums is priceless. Melody, harmony and rhythm are the fundamentals of music, and developing a keen sense of rhythm will help your child learn and appreciate other musical instruments too, in addition to the drums. The TD-1 module’s onboard metronome and 10 coach functions show your child how their timing skills are improving, creating the foundation for a lifetime of musical creativity. The game-like experience of the coaching functions means that although they’re learning, every session is fun and engaging. Melodics for V-Drums, a free application for Windows or Mac computers, provides a series of free drum lessons that help develop a sense of rhythm without it seeming like hard work.

The TD-1DMKs pads are quieter than other electronic drums, so your child can practice without limitation. From double-mesh heads to a kick drum pad that absorbs the impact of a beater, all V- Drums are built to be noticeably quieter when played*. The TD-1DMK can continuously support your child as they develop the concentration, patience and physical strength that comes through regular playing.

For Students—Become a Better Drummer
Whether you want to be a drum hero in a band or you just want to develop solid drumming skills, the TD-1DMK helps you get there by supporting the techniques learned in your tuition. The TD-1DMK faithfully responds to the subtle nuances of your playing – with every stick hit and all the dynamics detected and faithfully relayed, thanks to the fast processing and authentic acoustic sounds of the TD-1 module. And as you improve, the TD-1 module can keep up with you, reflecting your superior technique and expression. The double-mesh heads for the snare and toms can be tension-adjusted and offer stronger ‘rebound’ compared with drums that have single mesh heads, giving a natural feel that’s as close as possible to the feel of playing acoustic drum heads. Kick pedal feel and rebound is also important for your drumming – so the TD-1DMK is compatible with your choice of kick pedal, including double-kick pedals. The soft rubber pad absorbs the energy from the beater too, for a natural, faithful rebound and quieter performance.

Rediscover Your Love of Playing Drums 
If you used to play drums, you’ll remember how good it felt – whether the sheer physicality and expression of TD-1DMK can help bring drums back into your life, whether you’re brushing up your skills or picking up where you left off. From onboard songs across a variety of genres, to connecting your smartphone to the module and playing along to your favorite tracks, the TD-1DMK lets you play along with music while you smooth out those rough edges. And if those edges are a little too rough, the quiet performance of the TD-1DMK and the option to use headphones lets you immerse yourself in the music without disturbing your family. The durable TD-1DMK is infused with legendary V-Drums reliability too, so you can play with confidence for years to come. And as your skills and ambitions grow, you can expand the TD-1DMK by adding an extra crash cymbal or even upgrading the sound module. Give yourself a break – start playing drums again with the TD-1DMK.
