Rhythms Best of 2006 annual awards
Roland have won the Best Electronic Gear category in Rhythms Best of 2006 annual awards for the “Electronic wonder” that is the TD20-K, with the TD-3KW taking a respectable third place. Rhythm is the UK’s leading magazine for drummers and percussionists in the UK, and had awarded this category to Roland every year for the last six years – the TD-10K claiming the top spot before the TD-20K took to the throne.
