Streamlined Drum Module with Stellar Sounds

The Roland TD-27 is an impressively streamlined drum module filled to the rafters with life-like drums samples, powerful signal processing, and flexible connectivity — all housed in a relatively compact and intuitive interface. Navigating the menu to audition and select kits, tweak parameters, and add custom kits to a personal library is effortless. The TD-27’s massive collection of kits offers some of the most natural-sounding samples we’ve heard at Sweetwater, due to Roland’s proprietary Prismatic Sound Modeling and PureAcoustic Ambience Technology. For practicing, performance, and recording, few modules match the sound and functionality of the Roland TD-27 drum module.

Powerful Prismatic Sound Modeling

Every onboard kit within the TD-27 is crafted to sound great without tweaks. But for times when you need a custom kit for a particular performance, Prismatic Sound Modeling — derived from the flagship TD-50 — has you covered. You have control over each drum shell's tone and tuning. Each cymbal's size and liveliness. You can even control virtual mic placement to dial in the perfect amount of natural ambience and life. Once you've found your sound, sweeten kick, snare, or toms with onboard FX, including rich reverb and smooth tape-like compression.

Lifelike soundstages through PureAcoustic Ambience Technology

A set of drums is only as inspiring as the room it's played in. The same goes for electronics. Fortunately, Roland's PureAcoustic Ambience Technology, found for the first time in the TD-27, creates a natural and immersive soundstage that really makes you feel like you're there. PureAcoustic tech lets you dive deep into sound tweaking, too, allowing you to adjust virtual microphone positions like a real recording studio, then balance each part of the kit with outboard-style FX processors.

Output audio and MIDI over USB

Drummers at Sweetwater love our eDrums for home recording. And with the Roland TD-27 module, you can do it all over USB — no interface required. Deliver a whopping 28 channels of multitrack audio to your computer over a single USB cable and mix to taste. Or, simply connect the TD-27 module as a USB MIDI interface and re-track your parts with virtual instruments in your DAW. With either option, you get to enjoy recording studiophile drum tracks, even from your apartment, at any time of day.

Import .WAV samples via SD

Whether you're modeling your favorite acoustic kit or using the latest third-party libraries, Roland makes it easy to incorporate custom sounds into your V-Drums TD-27 sound module. High-capacity SDHC cards let you create an arsenal of custom libraries and call them up on your TD-27 at will.

Packed with practice features

Baked-in practice features and an adjustable metronome in the TD-27 take players from fledglings to birds of flight. Onboard Bluetooth gives the TD-27 the edge for practice. Stream music from your phone to the module wirelessly, and play along to your heart's content.

  • Built on the same sound engine as Roland's flagship TD-50 series
  • Intuitive hands-on module interface
  • Prismatic Sound Modeling lets you tweak tone, tuning, muffling, and more

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Roland TD-27

Best module that I've ever owned. Personally, I think that it's better than the TD-50. I have 2 TD-27's now and they power a mammoth drum kit. Amazing!
Music background: Playing drums for 44 yrs. and was a music major (percussion emphasis) in college.
Rated 5/5

The TD-27 is my best electric kit yet

I first bought the Roland TD-12, great kit. I then bought the TD-11 for gigs where there just isn't enough space for a big kit. I now own a TD-27 and to say it is awesome would be an understatement. Very nice drum set. The only thing I wish Roland had done better was the wiring bundle or whatever it's called. It does not seem to have been thought out well, and is certainly not as nice as the wires on the TD-12.
Music background: Been drumming for 50 years.

TD27 MODULE

This is a major upgrade from the Roland TD10 module for my hybrid drum kit. The sounds and the kit selection are better on this TD27 module. It is easy navigate through the menus using the knobs. The trigger setup was very easy, there was very little modification that needed to be made on the drums and the cymbal triggers I use the Roland RT30 triggers in my hybrid setup, the TD-27 works well with drum triggers. The instructions provided are easy to follow. Thank you Roland for the TD-27 Module, this is a great module. Thank you Sweetwater Music for getting them back in stock.

TD27 MODULE

THIS TD27 MODULE WORKS WELL WITH ON MY HYBRID MESHHEAD KIT WITH THE ROLAND RT-30 TRIGGERS ON MY SNARE AND TOMS, I WAS PREVIOUSLY USING THE ROLAND TD10 MODULE, THAT IS GREAT MODULE. I WANTED TO UPGRADE TO THE TD27 MODULE. THIS MODULE WERE ABLE TO INITALLY PICK UP THE TRIGGER SETTINGS FOR THE TOMS AND CYMBALS, I HAD TO MAKE MINIMAL ADJUSTMENTS ON THE TRIGGER SETTINGS. THE KITS ON THIS MODULE IS AWESOME, ROLAND DID WELL ON THE COLLECTION OF SOUNDS FOR THE SNARE AND THE TOMS. ROLAND NEED TO ADD MORE WIDER SELECTION OF THE SOUNDS OF THE RIDE AND CHINA CYMBALS. CONCLUSION, THE TD-27 MODULE IS DEFINITELY A GREAT MODULE, THE SWEETWATER TEAM HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL ABOUT ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TD27 MODULE. THANKS TO ROLAND AND SWEETWATER.

WOW

I was blown away by the great instrument selection and how accurate the sounds are.Its by far the best moduale I've ever owned. And I have owned alot.Great job Roland.And thank you for your great service sweetwater.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
