Feature:
Comes with pretty much all the features I could want for a complete drum set. I was hesitant at first about using a rubber pad for the hi-hat, but after using it, I am happy with it since it is the foot control that is most important, and that is very responsive. One feature that works poorly is the rim shots on the PD-8 Tom pads. The manual says you have to hit the rim AND the head at the same time to get a rim sound. I find that pretty tough, even when drumming slowly since if the stick slightly hits the head first, you get the head sound when you wanted a rim sound. In a nutshell, rim shots on the pads I am not happy with, however rim shots on the cymbals work fine. The only way I can see around this rim problem is to spend more and get additional pads, and assign your rim sounds to them so there are no missed sounds. It would be nice if it had a place to place a book so you can look at it easily. Or a little shelf might be nice for a laptop, the drum sticks, a drink etc. Also, it would be nice if this set came with a tiny amp enough so I could play it without a headset from time to time, as I get tired of wearing the headset for extended periods. Eventually you'll want to buy an amp to pay out loud so keep that in mind. Other things missing that you'll need to buy separately are the headset, kick pedal (buy a good one), drum throne (I recommend the bike seat - buy a good one as you get sore if you don't), drum sticks, and 1/4 to 1/8 headset adapter (the brain only accepts a 1/8 jack which is a pain because most quality headsets use 1/4 inch). Also get a 1/8 to 1/8 audio cable so you can play songs from your computer and drum to them. If you want to record to the computer you'll need a midi cable/adapter. In a nutshell, it would be nice if more of these things were included, but once I got them all, it worked out nice.

Quality:
Everything is made very well. I see blemishes appearing on the rubber on the cymbals, but hey, acoustic sets get blemishes too. I can't see anything breaking, looks like it will last a long time.

Value:
I compared this to the Yamaha which was the same price, and Roland was better quality. I still think $1400 for this drum set is too pricy, but if you love the drums you just do it. I'm glad I got this set.

Desirability:
It looks nice and is not an eyesore sitting in the corner of the room. People are attracted to it.

Sound:
Awesome sound quality, so many sounds to choose from. You can make it sound exactly like any acoustic set and sometimes I forget I'm not playing on one! Doesn't come with a headset - I would spend at least $50 for the headset for the best sound and comfort. Best of all, I can whale on this set at 1am and no one in the house knows the difference.

Support:
I called Roland once about the rim shot problem on the pads. They picked right up with no wait and helped immediately. Great support.

Overall:
I could see this unit lasting many years. I figure I may add some more pads over time by using the optional dual cables. Obviously the pricier sets with the mesh heads would be better, but they are WAY overpriced, especially if you are someone that just does this for fun. Great set overall, I recommend it.

Feature:
The online demos made it clear that I would need my own pedal(s), throne, sticks, and headset. Everything else was included it this set and setting up was simple. I had it up and playing in an hour. The manual that came with the TD-6V sequencer had easy to follow diagrams for running the patch cords to the appropriate inputs.

Quality:
I think this kit is well made and well packaged. The rack is painted steel tubing and the mounts are black plastic fittings with large T knobs so getting the drum pads tight is not a problem. I purchased this kit for home use so the cosmetics, fit, finish and rack stability is fine for my use.

Value:
I think the price is fair for what this kit is capable of as compared with other brands in this general price range.

Desirability:
When I got the bug for a set of E-drums I shopped around online and looked at the different choices and I thought that the guys at Roland did a great job with their online product demos. If you are considering a Roland kit, I would check their website http://www.rolandus.com and launch their product demos for the TD-6SV. Once I saw the product demo I made up my mind and placed my order.

Sound:

Feature:
Everything you need is here in two boxes. Very nice and strong hardware.

Quality:
Built great. I wouls recommend some nice cases if you travel alot. Lightweight yet rugged. The hardware is VERY STURDY. It's designed to be played hard. The harder you hit it, the louder it gets. I play heavy handed on the snare and it never moves.

Value:
For this amount of money, you can't go wrong. I just wish they had this kind of technology when I was starting out!

Desirability:
If your a drummer who gets bored or tired of your acoustic drum sounds, buy one of these sets tomorrow. You can play for along time without getting tired of the sound(s). With my old DW kit (with 7 Zildjians) I got one sound and one sound only. It was a great sounding set, but it was big, heavy, loud and expensive. This is easier to play the way it is designed.

Sound:
Sounds great. Roland always does! Very easy to play & learn. I've been playing drums for 30 years and I'll NEVER buy another acoustic kit again. My last kit was a $5,000 set of DWs and it wasn't as much fun to play as this kit. 100 drum sets that all sound good. Some REALLY good! You'll play better with this set - it makes drumming easier and MORE FUN!!!

Support:
Roland is very reputable. Probably won't ever need servicing. I've been using their gear for years and nothing has never failed. I'm sure their customer service is as good as their product.

Overall:
As if you can't tell, I LOVE THIS DRUM SET!!! Again, I've been playing for a long time, and electronic drums were always too expensive and didn't play or sound very realistic. This changes everything. It is inexpensive, sounds great, plays like a dream and is built great. It is easy to use right out of the box. If I ever wanted to replace it, I might consider Roland's bigger set, but I would be just as happy with another one of these! I tried Yamaha's and they were not even a consideration when I tried the Roland V-Drums. I also had some old Simmons pads. Ouch. They REALLY play and sound aweful! BUY THE ROLAND V-DRUMS.
