Roland TD-9KX V-Drums Electronic Drum Kit

Roland TD-9KX Electronic Drum Kit

The Roland TD9KX 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 TD9 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.

An on-board USB interface allows drummers to play along with their favourite mp3's direct off of their memory stick. 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 TD9KX you will need to purchase this separately as there is no kick drum pedal supplied with this product.
