Back to Product Information
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. 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. 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. 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. The Wow Factor: 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. 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.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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. Overall: 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.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: very realistic sound and feel. Feels very similiar to playing my acoustic kit, as weel as expressing dynamics. I recorded with this kit in a studio a few weeks ago, and sounded just like the real thing! Feature: jam packed with features, still havn't mastered them all. Hundreds of great sounds, and loads of great sounding kits. The pads are pretty much silent when you play them, so you can practice loads! Quality: Quality of Product is very high, very sturdy kit. Pads are very tough, and the heads are very durable. Value: Roland make the best V Kits. If you want an electronic kit, this one comes highly reccomended. Great value, for a great quality electro kit. Manufacturer Support: Havent had any problems yet, but Roland are by far the best around when it comes to quality and electronic kits. The Wow Factor: verry addictive, never gets boring, and looks great. The sound module looks very stylish, and the kit looks amazing, without looking too out of place. Overall: Silent practice, very easy to use and very impressive drum sounds. Highly reccomended, for silent preactice and live gigging. Any committed srummer needs one!

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
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. 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! Manufacturer 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. :)
