Product Ref: 79441
Roland are currently offering a free download of their TD-50 Series Artist-Tuned kits which are compatible with any TD-50 drum module. The module is originally equipped with a range of preset kits, which can all be customised, providing you with a versatile starting point for creating your own custom drum kits. The latest artist series kits are designed for those looking for out-of-the-box performance and quality, with powerful sounds that have been pre-tuned by professionals. With sounds from a range of V-Drums artists including Michael Schack, Craig Blundell and Dirk Brand, alongside some of Roland’s top drum product specialists, the Artist Series kits download consists of 15 pre-tuned Roland preset kits, with a range of high-quality bespoke kits, for use at your disposal.
The Roland V-Drums TD-50 Module is a powerful tool for pro drummers. The new Prismatic Sound Modelling technology conveys every element of your performance in thrilling detail. When you combine this module with Roland's new trigger pads with advanced trigger-sensing technology you're guaranteed the most authentic, expressive and resonant drum sounds you'll hear from any electronic kit. Because all great drummers know there's always room for improvement, the Roland TD50 also contains tutorial features including Quiet Count for timing and play along via SD.
The TD50 includes onboard kits to suit every session. The advanced module supports deep sound customisation, including basic adjustment of heads and shells, layering of internal and user samples, and adjustment of overhead mics and ambience control. For tailored performance, the compressor and 3-band EQ effect can be controlled for each pad individually, while three independent multi-effect sections let you treat specific drums with 30 effect types such as delay, flanger and saturator. The 2-band multi-compressor and 4-band equaliser let you change the output balance and volume, depending on whether you’re in the studio or onstage. The new Snapshot feature is a fast way to assess and compare any edits to your sounds before making permanent changes.
The TD-50's open-ended connectivity lets your inspiration flow in both directions. Play external WAV files with the SD slot then trigger them using any Roland drum or cymbal pad. Loop or layer your own WAV file sounds alongside the internal sounds whilst controlling audio and volume via the TD-50's front panel. Connect to a PC or Mac with the USB cable for multi-track recording on your favourite DAW. Up to 10 channels can be recorded separately, then easily edited for tone colour and more, and there’s a choice of audio sampling formats (48kHz, 96kHz and the standard 44.1kHz).
The Roland CY-18DR Ride Cymbal provides an authentic and expressive drumming experience. High-resolution sensors detect every nuance of your playing from hard to soft and in every position from edge to bell. It gives you more dynamic than ever before supporting a wide range of expressive techniques including cymbal legato, soft bell stroke and muting - simply touch the bell or bow with a finger or palm to mute the cymbal with natural decay.
The CY-18DR features acoustic style 18" dimensions for authentic swing motion and playability so it'll feel comfortable and familiar to any acoustic drummer and your favourite playing techniques are easily transferred.
The Roland PD-140DS V-Drums Snare is a digital trigger pad that features Roland's latest technology for expressive drumming. A 3 layer mesh head is fitted to a 14" shell for natural rebound and response. New multi-element sensors capture all the dynamics of your playing, including rim shots and cross sticks, and produce a natural, detailed sound.
