"Nice module with lots of flexibility."

Feature:
It has pretty much everything you need. Headphones out, Midi IN/OUT, Stereo line out (R/L), plus all the triggers. It even has an extra crash trigger, so you can add another cymbal (or a conga, etc).

Quality:
A little plasticky and very light, but you won't be beating it with a drum stick, will you? If well taken care of, it will probably last until I buy a more advanced module.

Value:
Could be less expensive. Maybe 200 dollars/euros would be the right price.

Desirability:
Looks cool. Lots of blinking lights.

Sound:
Very nice sound. I bought my td3 module second-hand and unfortunately the headphones output is hissy, but the line outs are perfectly quiet. When recorded properly most people can't tell if it's real drums playing or the td3 module. Midi in/out also works great, so you can use whatever sounds you like.

Support:
Haven't dealt with Roland, but they are a huge company, must have good support.

Overall:
I will use it until I buy a td6 or better. The other module I could have bought was the Alesis DM5 but the TD3 looks easier to operate and more upgradeable.

A High-Quality Drum Module with Rhythm Training Exercises
The TD-3 Percussion Sound Module boasts 114 new, high-quality drum and percussion sounds arranged into 32 kits, plus an easy-to-use interface so you can start playing right away. Finding the right drum kit is simple: just use the Phrase Preview function to hear a short demo for each kit. Each kit's sounds can be enhanced using 15 types of built-in Ambience effects and compression. And with Roland's enhanced Rhythm Coach onboard, drummers can improve their timing, speed and endurance using several rhythm-training exercises. The back of the module features nine trigger inputs, making it possible to add more pads like Roland's mesh PD-80R for snare. A stereo Mix input lets you play along with external audio sources, while MIDI In and Out let you connect with sequencers and more.

The TD-3 is one cool module - the sounds are uniformly excellent, the ambience control is very organic, the compressors sound perfect for drums and the coach is just plain fun. It tells you if you rush or drag against the click or it takes you through exercises. One mode speeds up slowly; another drops out every few measures to test your timing. Another exercise steps you through a variety of different patterns to practice against.
