Impressive Instruments and Sound-Shapers

Life-like percussion sounds, in just about every musical style, are served by Roland's SuperNATURAL sound engine.

Use reverb to sweeten the snare kick, and toms; and add overhead-mic simulation to brighten your sound and add a more spacious feel. With this sound module, you're in charge of everything from snare… read more drum selection to microphone positions to FX.

Compression and 3-band graphic EQ are available on each pad. Other useful extras include a variety of multi-effects, a powerful stereo compressor, and a 4-band master EQ. V-Edit allows you to tailor sounds and effects even further.

Roland's Description

Roland TD-30 Drum Sound Module

The Roland TD-30 is a drum sound module designed for V-Drums V-Pro series. With SuperNATURAL sounds produced by Behavior Modeling, the sound quality is superior, responding naturally to a variety of drumming techniques and dynamics. From rim shots, rolls, flams, even ghost notes on the snare, to dramatic crash hits and sustained cymbal swells, every nuance is accurate and smooth. For spatial depth, a dedicated Ambience fader gives you immediate access to lush room ambience and overhead-microphone simulation.

Wide Variety of Sounds

The wide range of preset drum kits is perfect for all styles of music, whether it be rock, jazz, hip-hop, or dance. Priority has been placed on developing sounds that are perfectly adaptable for use in the recording studio environment or on stage. With over 1,000 onboard sounds, whether they are acoustic drumskicks, snares, cymbals and percussionor electronic drums and special effects sounds, the V-Edit possibilities combined with the powerful onboard effects make it easy to create a unique and personalized kit for any musical style.

Natural Playing Feel and Sound

The TD-30 features vastly improved trigger response, dynamics, and positional sensing. The result is an even more obvious and natural reaction between the player and the sound.

Ambience Section

How the drummer hears himself and how the drum sounds are heard within the music have been given priority, and by taking advantage of enhanced DSP power, a new ambience section has been created. On the front panel of the TD-30 there is a dedicated fader for the overall ambience balance.

Overhead Mic - For recording drums in the studio, placement of the overhead mics is a must to guarantee a natural presence and brightness in the sound.

Room Ambience - You can adjust the room size and the room mic position within a choice of room types that include a concert hall, studio, club, arena, etc.

Reverb - A customized reverb has been specially created for the snare, kick, and toms, helping them to musically blend together inside the music in an even more natural way.

Recording Studio Applications

The TD-30 offers sound creation potential for all aspects of drumming performance. You can choose from a wide selection of snare drums, change the head type and tuning, move individual microphone positions, customize the shape of the room the drums are in, and adjust both the overhead mic and room mic positions. Enhance your sound with the effects and create the perfect audio balance with the individual kit mixer-all within the TD-30!

Powerful Onboard Effects

Each pad can have its own compressor and 3-band graphic EQ, just like in a recording studio. New multi-effects include insertion effects like the saturator or a flanger. And, as in the studio, the final sonic touches can be realized with a powerful stereo compressor and a 4-band master EQ.
