"the kit that fit"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
when purchasing this kit....i anticipated on keeping it and making adjustments with it along the way....i am happy with it...i just wished i was a little more informed at the time of my purchase...that way..i probably would have saved a little more dough to purchase the "pro" kit...but as far as the sound....stellar.....the design could have been better especially for what you are paying...and the hi-hat that comes standard is an insult to any drummer!
Sound
the sound is top notch....i consider myself a real audio-file and considering what is offered...i am very pleased
Features
i love the fact that you are playing on mesh heads...really gives the feel of a kit...the cymbals are not bad.....my only complaint is the hi-hat...i dont understand why another "real" cymbal wasnt used for it...playing on the rubber block detracted away from the true hi-hat experience
Quality
i think for the amount that this kit costs...it should be crafted similar to the "pro" kit.....the hardware is very flimsy and i have found myself on several occasions tightening down brackets to secure drum positions
Value
in sound ...you will find the value....in craftmanship....it lacks
Manufacturer Support
i havent dealt with the company
The Wow Factor
the kit is appealing especially considering its inclusion of the mesh head design....the color is satisfactory.....the design looked better in the picture than it actually was in person...if you had to assemble one of these...you will understand

"TD-8 = DONT BUY"
i am absolutly peeved of with the dam thing, its not quiet either, especially if ur plannin to put it upstairs in ur house, it thuds through like crazy, if nethin its jst as loud as an accoustic kit in tht respect
Sound
the tom sounds are absolutley terrible!!!!!!! u might aswell use a keyboard, heheh they suck big time (with the exception of the birch ones its the only one which sounds alright). sum of the snare, bass and cymbal sounds are amazing.
Features
!!!meh!!!
Quality
the rack is awful the toms and cymbals always move, it rocks, its absolute s**t. if u hit the bass drum to hard, or the snare or the second tom , it usually ends up triggering the ride cymbal off as well, the snare will mainly trigger the hi-hat with it, u can change the rim sensitivity all u want it makes no difference
Value
hahahahaha., i dont think sooo
Manufacturer Support
i had a prblem with the product when i first bought it, i had no lights on the buttons and no led, they took the old one away and replaced it straight away, excellent service of roland.
The Wow Factor
u see this thing on stage u just wanna laugh, stck with ur accoustic kit, u cant beat it. any one wanna buy the dam thing of me!!!!!
also this kit will give u pain in ur rists and hands alot more than using an accoustic kit, especially of the hi-hat pad.
