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 read more 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. read less

Over all I expect to be satisfied with this product for a long time. If your planning on getting an electric kit you're better off buying this one, the older models and less expensive ones really aren't that good. This one is expensive, but I'm really glad I forked out the money. The TD20 is just too expensive.
Sound
The sound that the TD12 puts out is phenominal. Some of the drum sets sound just like the real thing. You would swear the cymbals are real. 50 great and fun kits. I spend like an hour or two playing this thing every day.
Ease of Use
Compared to other electric drum sets, response wise, this thing leaves them in the dust. I had a TD 3 before this thing probably every 15th time I hit the crash it wouldn't even work. I've only owned the TD12 for five days now so I don't know too much about the editing features, they aren't exactly intuitive so i am going to have to break out the manual.
Quality
The product is very sturdy. The rack it came with is top of the line, and easy to adjust to your liking. The product is very reliable. They have this thing at guitar center. People beat on it all day and it theirs still work perfectly. As for mine, I payed a lot for this thing so I'm going to baby it, I'm hoping to have this thing for a long time. I actually bought mine used and it was as in good a shape as the new ones, works great.
Value
Top of the line. The TD12 and TD20 are the best electric drums you can buy.
