A Compact Kit for Practicing, Performing, and Recording!

The Roland TD-4S compact electronic drum kit makes a great practice set, but its high-quality sound and responsiveness makes it a great addition to any project recording studio, school music program, or house of worship rehearsal room. Designed to give you maximum features and comfortable playability from a minimal footprint, the TD-4S features a sturdy tubular frame with a center-mounted TD-4 sound module, a mesh V-Pad snare, and velocity-sensitive toms and cymbals. Thanks to built in Coach Mode and recording capability, the TD-4S is perfect for practice, too!

Roland TD-4S Compact Electronic Drum Kit at a Glance:
  • The brains behind a great-sounding, versatile kit
  • A natural-feeling mesh pad for expressive playing
  • Realistic, responsive cymbals for great playing feel
  • Don't forget what's on the floor

The brains behind a great-sounding, versatile kit
Here's the "nerve center" of the TD-4 set! The compact and easy-to-operate TD-4 sound module is loaded with great drum and percussion instruments and kits. You can customize kits with virtual tuning and muffling for the kick, snare and toms. Natural ambience effects can be adjusted as well. This module includes 125 instruments and 25 kits, a Coach Mode (complete with warmup and Tempo Check exercises). A Quick Rec function lets you record performances with 1-button ease, while the TD-4 module's Mix In connector lets you plug in your favorite music player and jam along.

A natural-feeling mesh pad for expressive playing
It doesn't matter whether you're playing an electronic kit onstage, in the studio, or in your home: you need a snare that feels right Roland knows this; that's why they outfit the TD-4S kit with the PDX-8 mesh V-Pad. The PDX-8 offers an expanded 10" rim for more comfortable and quiet rim-shots, as well as separate head and rim triggering for authentic performance. Best of all, this pad's amazingly realistic feel lets you play expressively and naturally.

Realistic, responsive cymbals for great playing feel
The CY-8 and CY-5 cymbals offer "swinging" motion with great response, separate bow/edge triggering (plus choke capability on the CY-8). You also get a fresh new look that more closely resembles a real cymbal.

Don't forget what's on the floor
The KD-8 kick trigger pad's vertical design not only gives drummers a better feel compared to reverse-type kick triggers, but it also reduces trembling so you get nothing but solid kick sounds. The KD-8 can even accommodate double bass! The TD-4S kit also includes Roland's new FD-8 hi-hat controller, which gives you realistic hi-hat sounds with smooth transitions between open and closed positions.

Roland TD-4S Compact Electronic Drum Kit Features:
  • Center-mounted TD-4 sound module with new sounds, Coach Mode, Mix In, and Quick Rec. functions

  • Velocity-sensitive toms and cymbals
  • Ultra-compact, sturdy, and stable drum stand

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.
