The Ultimate V-Drum Kit: Rebuilt From The Ground Up!
Roland started building the V-Pro Series TD-20S-BK from the ground up. At the heart of this flagship set is the TD-20 module with new sounds and functions, superb expressiveness and in-depth V-Editing. The patented mesh pads now feature great dynamic range and natural rim shot triggering, along with a new look and stunning black finish. The TD-20S-BK also features Roland's amazing new V-Hi-Hat and a new drum stand designed to hide the cabling. With this powerful new combination of pads and hardware, the V-Drums let drummers express themselves more naturally and with more realism than ever before!
An Entirely New V-Drums Module for Ultimate Playing and Editing Power!
The TD-20S-BK starts with the new TD-20, Roland's best V-Drum sound module ever. The TD-20 offers the ultimate sonic quality with over 500 new sounds, plus superb expressiveness and dynamic range when used with the new PD-125BK/105BK V-Pads and VH-12 V-Hi-Hat. Its superior sensitivity lets you play more naturally and without having to adjust your playing technique. The TD-20 includes the ability to vary rim shot and bass drum sounds depending on how you play. New interval control makes for better snare drum rolls and more realistic cymbal swells. Close your eyes. Listen to every articulation and sound being faithfully re-created until the moment your cymbal fades away, and you'll swear the V-Drums are a real acoustic set.
Enhanced Performance Features Allow Maximum Sound Control
Whether used live or in the studio, the TD-20 offers a host of powerful features designed to make life easy. Eight group faders are provided for adjusting the relative levels of each part (snare, kick, hi-hat, etc.). 15 individual compressors and EQs let you sculpt each V-Drum sound to perfection. The TD-20 also includes a 5-part sequencer loaded with preset backing patterns (and plenty of room for your own) plus onboard Ambience effects, a stellar multi-effects processor and more. A new Mastering Room lets you add compression and EQ on the overall sound, while 10 analog outputs and a S/PDIF digital output give you plenty of sonic options for your V-Drums when mixing live or in the studio.
The First Electronic Hi-Hat Designed Like an Acoustic!
Bring authentic hi-hat feel to your V-Drums! Once you try the full motion VH-12 V-Hi-Hat you'll never be satisfied with anything less! This breakthrough electronic hi-hat precisely models the look and feel of its acoustic counterpart In fact, it mounts on any acoustic hi-hat stand! The new V-Hi-Hat uses top and bottom cymbals with full motion capability for ultra-natural stick/pedal work, and is specifically designed to work with the enhanced dynamics of the TD-20. The dual-trigger VH-12 can convincingly create a range of hi-hat sounds from open to closed including the half-open position with all of its delicate nuances. Apply pressure to the pedal (even after closing) and you can even vary the pitch and decay for playing fast and tight articulations - just like an acoustic hi-hat!
Improved V-Pads with New Sensor, Better Response and Cool Black Look
How do you improve upon V-Drums, the world's most popular electronic percussion pads? The TD-20S-BK starts by designing a brand new sensor mechanism for more accurate triggering, and then give 'em a cool black finish! The 12-inch PD-125BK and 10-inch PD-105BK mesh V-Pads both feature Roland's latest dual-triggering technology, resulting in more even and accurate sensing between the head and rim. They are also the first V-Pads with rim shot capabilities on the toms-including the actual "rim click" sound (when used with the TD-20 Percussion Sound Module)..
Natural Kick Triggering with Double Pedal Support
The TD-20S-BK includes Roland's time-tested KD-120BK V-Kick, but now in a new black color designed to perfectly complement the rest of the pads. The 12" V-Kick pad offers fast, natural kick drum triggering and is compatible with double bass pedals (sold separately). A natural-feeling kick for your V-Drums!
Ergonomic Stand with Striking Looks - and No More Tangled Cables!
Roland's new MDS-20BK Drum Stand offers a new curved look that keeps your V-Drums within reach. The stand's black color matches perfectly with the new pads and cymbals, and all cabling is hidden neatly inside the tubing-you asked for it, you got it. Even the hardware itself has been improved via more durable T-fittings with a convenient raked design. Changing the height is quick and easy: Vertical adjustments with quick-release cam levers are provided on each of the stand's legs and the two cymbal stands, allowing the tiers to remain in place.
Convenient CompactFlash Storage and More
New to the TD-20 is a CompactFlash slot that lets you store custom V-Drum drum kits and sequencer patterns with optional memory cards. An expansion bay on the underside saves room for upgrades down the road. The TD-20 also features Roland's V-LINK technology. Using an optional video editor from Edirol, drummers can trigger images or change cameras from the pads or kick.
More Powerful V-Editing Lets You Tweak to Your Heart's Desire
The TD-20 gives you even greater modeling power using Roland's latest COSM technology. Vastly expanded for unlimited expression, the TD-20's V-Editing starts from careful analysis of an entirely new set of drum sounds. The result captures every nuance of the real thing-including every moment of drum vibration and complete customization capabilities. You can now select from several types of kick beaters including felt, wood and plastic. Cymbal sizes can also be changed, along with the type of "sizzle" (i.e. rivets or chain), and the microphone position. The TD-20 even lets you add realistic snare drum "buzz" that matches the type of snare drum selected. It's the subtle nuances like these that really make the difference during performance and recording with V-Drums.
Note: The kick drum pedal, hi-hat & snare stand shown in the above picture are not included with the TD-20S-BK. Be sure to ask your Sweetwater Sales Engineer about ordering these optional items.
