Experience the versatility of electronic drums without giving up the tone and feel of your acoustic kit with the powerful Roland TD12KXS V-Stage drum set.

The Roland TD12KX V-Drum V-Stage electronic drum set has been redesigned for high-impact performance and recording. Bigger pads, stronger hardware, and enhanced V-Edit capabilities anchor the TD12KX 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.

Features

- New MDS12X drum rack with adjustable arms and ball-clamp holders
- KD120 V-Kick offers natural, comfortable kick feel and stability
- PD105 for floor tom provides a more natural look and feel
- VH11 V-Hi-Hat compatible with standard acoustic hi-hat stands
- Acclaimed TD12 sound module with hundreds of expressive and diverse sounds onboard
- Enhanced V-Edit capabilities allow a wider variety of custom sounds

Enlarged Pads

For an enhanced look and feel, the TD12KX's kick and floor-tom pads have been upgraded to the larger KD120 and PD105, respectively. Not only do the bigger pads look more substantial, they also provide a more natural feel and response. Each pad in the kit features Roland's patented mesh drumhead, which can read more be tensioned with a standard drum key.

New Drum Rack

The newly designed MDS12X drum rack is streamlined yet incredibly solid. New ball-clamp mounts for the snare, tom, and cymbal pads allow for more versatile positioning. Combined with the enlarged pads, the new rack creates an overall look that's more substantial and solid.

TD12 Drum Module

With the same top-quality sound as the flagship TD20X, the TD12 drum module provides hundreds of expressive instruments and play-along sequences. 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.

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.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I've done two years of research on this product and during that time many of the competitors have tried to emulate this kit and failed. The sounds are absolutely the best, the set up is professional and durable and the fact is I would buy this set all over again in a heartbeat!
Sound
The sound quality is superb. From a percussionists perspective, every sampled sound couldn't be better. The response of the pads makes for easy playing. I've worked with a number of the Roland drumkits and this is by far the best Roland has done in an affordable price-range.
Features
This kit came with all the necessary accessories: drummers throne, hi-hat stand and bass drum pedal all for one relatively low price.
Ease of Use
The patches are easy to create and the programming is intuitive making it fun to create and store new kits.
Quality
Not only is this kit superior in craftsmanship, the design has taken into consideration cable placement which are harnessed inside the heavy-duty stand.
Value
The best price for the set and accessories I've found anywhere.
Manufacturer Support
Roland is not an easy company to reach out to for support, however the Internet provides much of what you're probably looking for. There are also music stores that provide servicing of parts.
The Wow Factor
The design is practical and aesthetically this kit surpasses all of the competition in its' elegance.
