New Snare, New Hi-Hat, New Stand!

Roland introduces the newest member of its award-winning V-Drums® line: the TD-6KW, which succeeds the TD-6KV. The TD-6KW features a new type mesh snare pad (PDX-8) and an improved, enlarged hi-hat cymbal pad (CY-5). Also new for ’06 is the MDS-6C drum stand (sold separately), an excellent match for the TD-6KW with attractive curved pipes and gun-metal black finish.

TD-6KW Components

  • TD-6V Percussion Sound Module x 1
  • PDX-8 V-Pad for snare x 1
  • PD-8 Dual-Trigger Pad x 3
  • CY-5 Dual-Trigger Cymbal Pad for Hi-Hat x 1
  • CY-8 Dual-Trigger Cymbal Pad x 2
  • KD-8 Kick Trigger Pad x 1
  • FD-8 Hi-Hat Control Pedal x 1

Brain Power

The core of the TD-6KW kit is the TD-6V Percussion Sound Module, a 64-voice module that offers over 1,000 of Roland’s best drum/percussion sounds. Dual-trigger tom inputs allow for rim shots on toms. Large, luminous buttons and a cool, blue display make the TD-6V fun and friendly to use.

Upright Kick

Drummers will appreciate the TD-6KW’s upright kick drum pad. Its vertical design not only provides a better feel compared to reverse-type kick pads, but also reduces vibration so you get nothing but solid kick sounds. And here’s more good news: the kick pad can accommodate double-bass pedals.

PDX-8 V-Pad

Roland’s newest mesh V-Pad (PDX-8) offers an expanded 10-inch rim for more comfortable and quiet rim-shots, as well as separate head and rim triggering for authentic performance.

CY-5 Dual-Trigger Cymbal Pad

The newly designed cymbal pad (CY-5) features a 12-inch playing zone and swing movement for more drummer-friendly triggering. The pad also provides separate bow and edge triggering. The CY-5 can also be used as an additional cymbal pad, such as a splash, on V-Drum kits.

MDS-6C Drum Stand

This attractive new rack is a great match for the TD-6KW. Sold separately, it features curved pipes and a gun-metal black finish.

Rating: 9/10

Having been a drummer for over 20 years, I had always tried to ignore the rise of electronic percussion in favour of 'proper' instruments. Recently though, one of my students announced that he had purchased and Roland TD6 and promptly brought it around to my studio to show it off.
The feel and playability of the kit was incredible. I was still able to play rim shots on the snare, choke cymbals and still crash the ride ! (I even managed to play using brushes)Straight out of the box the arsenal of kits available to you is astonishing with everything from traditional jazz kits through heavy rock and on to electro pop. The ability to be able to build your own custom kits of sound now means that you have the correct kit for every occasion. No need now to have to carry multiple snare drums and retune your toms. They are all there ! As a beginner, the idea of being able to practice whenever you want without your neighbours casting opinion has to be a plus point. In addition, the built in backing tracks mean that right from the start you are able to get the feel of playing in a band, with other musicians, rather than just banging out the same old 4 beat with no idea of how it fits in to anything. For big gigs - gone are the days of having to mic your kit - just output to the main PA and off you go. In the studio - direct out to the mixing desk alows your technician to be in total control of the mix. The built in sound effects and settings allow you to add far more expression to your music with only a few taps on the easy to understand module.
Another plus point for me is that you no longer need a transit van to carry your gear. Collapsed down the whole thing fits neatly into the smallest of car boots.
In conclusion - if you are about to start out drumming - everything you need right from the start is here - and for the others like me - its time to take another look. This Kit is Awesome. !
