Roland TD-1K V-Drums Electronic Drum Kit Overview
The Roland TD-1K is one of our most popular electronic drum kits. Roland has set the benchmark for all electronic drum kits with their super Low Latency and this is the first kit in the infamous V-Drums Range. It is known for how durable and realistic it feels, due to the build quality of the rubber pads.
The rack is incredibly compact, meaning it can squeeze into the corner of a bedroom as well as being extremely sturdy and durable. The kit can also be expanded, by adding one more Cymbal Pad, with the OP-TD1C Cymbal Set (Sold Separately).
The TD-1K features 15 different drum kits, ranging from acoustic kits for Rock, Jazz, Pop and Metal. There are also percussive kits for Latin, Oriental or Folk music. It even has Electronic sounds, like the 808, 909 and other drum machines. Each kit is also really dynamic and expressive, meaning you can buzz roll, cymbal swell, choke the cymbal pads and splash the hi-hat pedal, which are essential drumming techniques for Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced level, drummers.
Partner the sounds with the 15 internal songs, covering all genres to help make you an all-around great drummer. Plus, the TD-1K has 10 coaching lessons, so it can be your own drum tutor too.
Connect the TD-1K via USB to your computer and you can use the kit as a MIDI trigger to play your favourite external sounds. The latency of the kit is the same as the flagship Roland TD-50, which is the lowest of any electronic kit, at just 2.6ms. It also has an Aux In, so you can play along to your favourite songs too. You can also use the USB output to connect to teaching apps, like Melodics. Roland also has given you 40 free lessons on this App to get you on your way too!
Please note that the TD-1K does not ship with a drum throne, headphones or sticks. To ensure you have everything you need, check out our Bundle Deals.
If you would like to jam along with other musicians, check out the Roland Drum Monitors.
For a portable/foldup version, check out the TD-1KPX2.
For users wanting a more acoustic-like drum feel, the ability to space out the pads the same as an acoustic, a more durable rack and a more realistic kick drum pad, check out the TD-1DMK.
