Description

The Roland TD-9KX is the premium product within the TD-9 range and differs from the TD-9K by the fact that every drum pad uses a mesh head, there's also an upgraded snare and larger ride cymbals.

The new TD-9KX kit utilises a completely new next-generation sound engine at its core which means that this mid-range V-drum family comes with brand new sounds and according to the manufacturers (cue deep American voice-over ...) " ...a deeper level of expression and playability ..."

The TD-9 range is available as two seperate configuration models, this particular model - the TD-9KX is the higher specified version offering state of the art V-Drum technology utilisng mesh pads so that drummers receive a really natural playing experience with which to express their creativity.

The brain behind this technology is the all new TD-9 Drum module, which has the capability to blend a couple of hundred new sounds with real audio songs and patterns plus newly developed practice facilities and quick record/play features. The TD-9 module is also compatible with the optional VH-11 hi-hat and can facilitate three-way Ride cymbal triggering and dual-triggering Toms.

The TD-9 Drum module has a large back-lit display and easy to use over-sized controls and the screen is layed out using icon based graphical controls making editing and programming new kits or sounds quicker and easier. There's also an in-built scope-mode skill builder to help make practice sessions more enjoyable and to allow the individual to be able to grade their own skill levels.

Another new feature on the TD-9 module is the ability for .wav files to be imported via an on-board USB interface allowing drummers to play along with favourite tracks. The module sits clamped to the new MDS-9 drum rack that has 4 sturdy legs to support the hardware and new ball-joint mounts and angle adjustable hi-hat arms ...

Despite the fact that a Kick Drum pedal appears in the accompanying image of the TD-9KX you will need to purchase this seperately as there is no kick drum pedal supplied with this product.

 

by Gig Stig

The TD-9KX arrives around March 2008 and will undoubtedly be a best seller for Roland. They seem to have learned important lessons from previous generations of V-Drums such that the TD-9 range is a near perfect as you're gonna get for an electronic drum kit ...

 

Firstly, the sounds contained in the TD-9 drum module are much more useable for everyday purpose, previously Roland had included some strange electronic noises and kits such as the drum samples from the Boss 808 rhythm unit, and whilst historically these sounds were iconic during the 1980's, in reality they are seldom used today. So I was glad to hear that Roland have stocked the TD-9 module with a great range of practical, useable drum sounds ... and indeed there are many fine sounds here most of which are refreshingly natural.

 

The large back-lit LCD screen makes it much easier, simpler and quicker to navigate around and edit, swap and replace individual drum samples or whole kits.The addition of the USB port for importing of .wav files will also be greatly appreciated by many drummers - as will the triple ride trigger feature and the double Toms trigger capability. These are the types of additions that will allow drummers to play in a completely natural style and truly express their creativity.However it's worth remembering that this kit doesn't include a Kick Drum pedal so you'll need to allow for the purchase of this item in your budget nor does it come with a drum stool ...

 

 

I'm sure many magazines will be reveiwing the TD-9KX over the coming months before its arrival on our shores in Spring 2008, having seen it demonstrated at the NAMM show all I can say is that the wait will be worth it ...
