The TD-25 drum module (or drum brain) comes loaded with 18 preset kits that fall under six genres: standard, rock, metal, jazz, funk, and electro. The 2 CY-12C 12” crash cymbals have edge/bow sensors and choke control sensors, and the CY-13R 13” ride cymbal has three triggers for the edge, bow, and bell triggering. The Cymbalsįor cymbals, the VH-11 V-Hi-hat mounts on a standard hi-hat stand and offers realistic motion and natural feel. The PDX-100 pads have an advanced dual-trigger sensor that supports dynamic rimshots. Of the five drum pads, there are 2 PDX-100 10” mesh-head pads for the snare drum and floor tom, 2 PD-85BK 8” mesh-head pads for rack toms, and a KD-9 kick pad. The Roland TD-25KV comes with five drums pads, four cymbal pads, the TD-25 drum module, and a Roland MDS-9SC rack stand. Okay, all joking aside, I fell in love with my Roland TD-25KV, and this is my review of the kit. I figured I could live in the box and busk on College Avenue with my shiny new kit so I’d have enough money to eat (let alone buy textbooks). With a hefty price tag nearing $2500, a whole summer’s worth of working at the golf course left my account in one click. I remember feeling a mix of disgust and excitement when I clicked “place order” on the most expensive thing I had ever purchased. I settled on the Roland TD-25KV electronic drum kit for its functionality (which I’ll go into later) and its appearance. I kind of always knew that Roland was one of the best names out there in electric percussion, so I didn’t look any further. I started researching electric drum kits.

I knew I would go crazy if I had to wait until Sunday every week to get behind a kit at church. The noise restrictions in our residence halls also eliminated any dreams I had of hanging my bed from the ceiling so I could set up my drums underneath.Įven when I planned to move into an apartment after my freshman year and would have more space, the noise of acoustic drums would never fly in a college town.

My dorm room was small - I could roll out of bed, across my desk, and I was at the door.

When I got to college, it didn’t take long to realize that I wouldn’t always have my full drum kit readily available.
