"Excellent."

Feature:
The features are great. Lots of kits, lots of sequences, separate faders for drum groups (snare, kick, toms, etc), separate dials for mix in, phones, master. Phones input up front. Nice big LCD display. Tap sequences are cool but I got bored with them after a while. Demo song preview for checking levels. Trigger preview button for this also. The phones output is nice and loud so you could definitely hook up a nicer, high impedence set of headphones to it. I could go on and on. I would give it a 10 but I guess the TD 20 gets that rating.

Quality:
Fantastic quality. Nothing feels cheap. It feels like it will last a LONG time.

Value:
Value is decent, not high. Roland makes EXPENSIVE products. I got mine used for $2500. I think a fair price would be $1999 new. But then again, not many manufactures make products of this caliber so I'm thankful that this simply exists.

Desirability:
It's sexy that's for sure. Mine is black finish on the mesh heads. Chrome accents on the toms and snare. Glossy black frame. It looks solid and professional.

Sound:
Overall, the kits rock. Sound quality is far above the TD6. The sequences are pretty good too, much better than the TD6 and its crop of cheesy sounding songs. The positional sensing really really brings out the nuances of the snare sound. The kick drums get LOW. Combine this with the wide dynamic range of the sound module and I found that when turned it up, my headphones would clip out with the hard hitting low kick drum sounds. If using phones, use ones that can handle a high input signal and you're good. I saw that Sony and Audio Technica do this with their ~$199 models and up.

Ease of Use:
I got around easy enough by just playing with the buttons but I'm a technical guy to start with. The menus aren't THAT deep so I think that most people could just jump in. I had to consult the manual to figure out what a CHAIN was.

Overall:
I started my trek into drumming with the TD3, then upgraded to the TD6 later and played for a month or two. Upgrading to the TD12 is SIGNIFICANT, but then again for over twice the price, it should be. I'm not brand loyal but Roland has definitely impressed me with this product. Their years of experience really seem to shine through here.

"Easy to use and sounds great!"

Quality:
Have had them for 2 months and had absolutely no issues.

Value:
A little pricey, but well worth it! I listened to the people who told me to spend the money on this kit (vs a smaller Rolland or high end other brand)....I am very happy that I did. I am very happy with my purchase!

Sound:
You have about 50 preset drum kits sounds to choose from. If that's not enough, you can customize any drum/cymbal on the kit (i.e. change the size of the crash from 15" to 20") or give it a stadium or garage effect. They sound great!

Ease of Use:
I have absolutely no drum experience! I was able to set them up in about 1 hour. Instructions are clear and the stand and cables come pretty much built in. You don't have to worry about stringing cables or anything like that. Pretty much, just put the drums in the kit and plug in the color coated cable. Once again (no experience)...I skimmed through the TD12 manual (sound module) and am able to accomplish any basic function.

Support:
Haven't needed them.

Overall:
I bought these so my son could practice and we wouldn't have to worry about the noise. They so feel a little different then acoustics, but they are about as close as you can get. They do sound great. Having the built in metronome, headphone hookups and ability to connect an ipod is priceless. :)

Great feeling, great sounding! The new V-Stage Series TD-12S makes the middle range of the V-Drums line feel like first class. With mesh V-Pads all the way around, the TD-12S lets drummers sink their sticks into the best-feeling pads in the business. The new TD-12 drum module is an upgrade from the previous TD-8, sharing the same stunning sound quality as the flagship TD-20. Hi-hat stand, and bass pedal not included.

Features:
Professional V-Drums in an affordable package

V-Pro quality sounds

New "floating" VH-11 hi hat

Cables inside the stand tubes

All dual-trigger mesh pads

Available in Black or White finishes

Unbeatable Sound
With the same stunning sound quality as the flagship TD-20, the new TD-12 drum module provides hundreds of expressive instruments and play-along sequences in a streamlined, affordable package. Many of the sounds in the TD-12, from drums to cymbals, are COSM modeled for the ultimate in expression and realism. The module provides the same large, icon-based LCD as its big brother (the TD-20), and is housed in a road-tough, metalic black chassis with a friendly array of buttons, controls, and mix sliders. Twelve trigger inputs are provided, plus four audio outputs and MIDI I/O.

Unrivaled V-Editing
Enjoy the dozens of expert-programmed kits in the TD-12, from authentic acoustic sets to ultra-modern electronic flavors. But the fun doesn't stop there; customize your snare drum, toms, bass drum, and cymbals with the modeling-based V-Editing. Change sizes and materials, attach sizzles to cymbals, increase snare buzz, and more. Then get out your sticks and enjoy! The TD-12 supports positional sensing on the snare and ride, as well as on the toms when you play rimshots. The TD-12 is also brush compatible, and features the expressive Interval Control feature for the snare and ride/crash/china cymbal, which varies the sound in natural ways based on the speed of stroke repetition.
