Roland
Drum roll please... Say, that sounds pretty good. In fact, it sounds so totally realistic you'd swear that roll was being played on real drums! Actually, it's being performed on Roland's new Compact Electronic Drum System, everything you need in a professional-sounding digital percussion setup in a highly portable integrated system. Actually, there are now two complete systems available to those of you who know how to keep a beat: the Roland TDE-7K (pictured below) and the latest addition to the Roland electronic percussion line, the TD-5K.

The TDB-7K delivers an immense selection of true, CD quality digital samples - 512 of them to be precise including 114 snares, 89 kicks plus 88 percussion sounds (like toms and cymbals) as well as many special effects, melodic percussion and bass sounds. The System comes with 32 preset patches that include rock, jazz, brush, latin, orchestral and even classic TR-909 and 808 kits, among others, so you'll never run out of sounds.

No matter what kind of music you play or how you play it, the Compact Drum System will respond to every movement of your hands, sticks and feet, all without you having to adapt to new techniques. Whether it's ghost notes or raw, full-power snare hits, cymbal chokes or rim shots, the TDB-7K's response is flawless. What's more, its sensitive response with natural tonal changes and dynamics are unlike any percussion instrument you've ever played. List price for a complete TD-7BK System starts at $2050.

The TD-5K Compact Drum System offers the same superb sound quality and expressiveness as the TDE-7K, but it incorporates a new sound module, new pads and a new kick trigger along with the remarkably affordable retail price of just $1795. Of course the TD-5K delivers outstanding 16-bit digitally processed sounds (including 210 instruments in 32 patches) as well as built-in digital reverb for finishing off your drum sound.

Considering how sophisticated both of these systems are, we don't have nearly enough space to tell you about all their many features (not to mention all the options). So give your Sweetwater sales engineer a call today.
