SuperNATURAL Sound

Featuring Roland SuperNATURAL technology, the Roland TD25VKX drum kit provides a wide range of usable drum kit sounds that cover a plethora of musical styles.

Equipped with behaviour modelling, taken from the Roland TD-30 module, the TD25 module adapts to your playing style to ensure the most expressive playing response possible.

Responding naturally to your playing style, the Roland TD-25KVX learns the way you play and adapts to ensure it provides the most authentic playing response for super dynamics and a truly interactive playing feel.

Allowing you to achieve the highest level of musical expression, this Roland TD-25 kit responds in a natural way to create a response as close to an acoustic kit as possible.

While the mesh heads accommodate rim shots, rolls, flams and the dynamics of ghost notes, the cymbal pads provide an instant, latency-free response for immediate crash hits and sustained cymbal swells.

Offering acoustic kit-like nuances the Roland TD-25KVX provides an accurate, detailed response and an ultra-smooth playing feel making this V Drum kit a comfortable, joy to play.

Naturally Acoustic Consistently Electronic

Delving deeper into the expressive playing feel of this Roland V Drums kit, the array of mesh heads, cymbal pads and the acoustic shell bass drum provide a drum kit setup that feels like an acoustic kit while providing the consistency of electronic sounds.

Offering an expressive playing feel to rival high end v drum kits, the Roland TD 25KVX features a 12” snare pad and three 10” tom pads all of which have 2 ply mesh heads to provide a natural feel and realistic rebound.

Designed to make acoustic drummers feel at home, the larger 12” snare mesh head features Roland’s innovative positional sensing technology.

This technology enables subtle, organic tonal changes of sound depending on where you hit the pad.

From delicate rolls at the edge of the snare to full on, fat snare whacks in the centre of the drum, the Roland TD25KVX responds in a natural way for a truly expressive playing feel.

The 12” snare head also fits to a regular snare stand, just like an acoustic snare, for flexible positioning allowing you to achieve your most comfortable playing set up.

While the 10” mesh head toms deliver a natural playing response in line with the expressive snare, the cymbals also work to ensure a realistic playing feel.

All of the 3 cymbal pads offer a natural swinging motion and support chokes for a super realistic feel, just like your acoustic kit set up.

Crashes allow bow and edge sounds while rides also incorporate a bell sound for a realistic response across the whole cymbal set up.

From cutting, impactful crashes to intricate ride patterns and accenting bell tones, the cymbal pads of the Roland TD25KVX give you the options you need to achieve the sound you require.

This Roland kit also comes with the VH-11 hi-hat pad which mounts on a standard hi-hat stand to offer a natural open and closed motion as well as providing bow and edge sounds for a traditional playing technique response.

The cherry on top of this beautiful Roland V drums cake is the KD-180 Acoustic Feel Bass Drum.

Featuring an 18” genuine acoustic shell with a built-in pad system, this bass drum instantly feels like a typical acoustic kick drum and delivers a distinctive acoustic kit look.

Equipped with Roland’s innovative air-damper mechanics that work alongside the 18” acoustic shell to ‘move air’ just as an acoustic drum would, this electronic bass drum has the natural resistance you'd expect from an acoustic bass drum as the beater hits the head.

As well as making a visual statement, providing stable, consistent and accurate triggering, this 18” V drum acoustic shell bass offers an unparallel acoustic drum kit feel from an electronic kit and it's also compatible with double kick pedals.

It’s simple to edit sounds to suit you playing touch or musical style. Simply hit a pad to call up the assigned sound, then use the module knobs to select the instrument sound you prefer before tweaking the tuning, muffling and level.

Handy shortcuts serve to further speed up this editing process, allowing you to change the muffling and tuning parameters of all the toms at once.
