The TD-6V: More Than Just a New Look
The first thing you'll notice about the TD-6V Percussion Sound Module is the new black look and cool blue LCD screen. Like the original, this 64-voice module serves up 1,024 of Roland's best drum and percussion sounds and 262 backing instruments - but with newly created drum kits and patterns in the latest music styles. Dual-trigger tom inputs allow for rim shots on toms and expanded musical expression, while large, luminous buttons make the TD-6V very easy to use.

"I had an old school attitude about electro drums, then I heard the TD-6 and was instantly converted!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

I will only replace it with the TD-20!
Sound
Bought the TD-6 to use with the electro kit I custom built and except for the wider range of sounds and kits found in the TD-12 and TD-20(This is the one I really wanted and will soon own!) you cannot find a better built, user friendly, and better sounding module! Roland knows their stuff and it shows!
Features
I used to always want to practice at all hours of the night but couldn't, but now I if I wake up at three in the morning I can put on the headphones and go at it and never wake up anyone in the house much less in the neighborhood! Mesh heads are the only way to go for silent practice!
Ease of Use
I never owned a electro kit and was totaly against them until I sat behind a kit with the TD-6 module at one of the local music stores and in an instant I was converted!
Quality
Straight up! I have actually hit the face of this module with my stickes on many occasions and it is just like a Timex, it takes a sticking and keeps on ticking!
Value
Well worth the price!
Manufacturer Support
Have not needed to contact support! I never read the manuel until I owned and had been playing it for months and then I was just curious, advice to you is read the manuel because I didn't realize all the amazing things it does!
The Wow Factor
Like I said, except for the TD-12 or TD 20 there was no other choice! It's Roland or wait till everyone is awake! Thanks Roland!
