Roland V-Drums Innovation File No.03 Advanced Sensor Technology for Ultimate Realism VH-12 Technology in a Compact, One-Piece Format In creating the world’s finest modeled hi-hat, Roland embarked upon a time-intensive mission to create a virtual hi-hat that would perform like the real thing. The winning formula features three different types of sensors on the top of the cymbal’s bow, the edge, and in the center of the bottom cymbal where it detects the foot pedal movements.
Natural, Three-Way Triggering and Swinging Motion The CY-15R V-Cymbals Ride is a 15-inch cymbal that offers natural swinging movement and ultra-dynamic three-way triggering (edge/bow/bell) when used with the TD-20, TD-12, and TD-9, making this the most expressive electronic cymbal ever designed. With edge/bow or bow/bell output jacks, this cymbal can be used as a ride cymbal or large crash cymbal, expanding the possibilities of any Roland drum system.
Advanced Amplification for V-Drums Prevent your drum components from slipping while simultaneously safeguarding your floor from scratches and reducing impact noise/vibration. Roland’s TDM-10 and TDM-20 heavy-duty drum mat is adorned with the Roland V-Drums logo. The mat is available in medium and large sizes. The PM-30 is a 2.1-channel advanced speaker system.
Triggers for Kick, Snare, and Toms Play MIDI Modules From an Acoustic Set! With acoustic-drum triggering more popular now than ever, Roland has responded to requests from the market and created these triggers: the RT-10K (for kick drums), RT-10S (for snare drums), and RT-10T (for toms). Physically smaller than their predecessors, the RT-10 series triggers are easier to position. Best of all, they feature trigger-sensing technology for improved response.
Comfortable, Quiet Mesh Head The RMP-series pads are outfitted with a great-feeling, tunable mesh drumhead for realistic and quiet performance. Just like on an acoustic drum, the RMP’s head can be adjusted for tension. The result is a true acoustic feel, but without the noise. By plugging in headphones, drummers can enjoy silent, concentrated practice without disturbing others. The Self-Contained Rhythmic Workout Station Put yourself on the fast track to rhythmic improvement with the RMP-3 and RMP-5.
HandSonic Artists New Sounds An all-new collection of sounds has been created for the HPD-10; approx. 400 high-quality instruments are onboard. All of the percussive essentials have been included — congas, bongos, tabla, djembe, cajon, etc. — as well as melodic percussion, drum kit, special effects, and more. No matter the genre, from ethnic to electronic, the HPD-10 has you covered.
Add Sampling to Your Rig! The World’s Most Popular Hand-Percussion Pad The SPD-S Sampling Pad is a simple and affordable way to tap into the power of sampling. Six pads and three edge triggers allow drummers to trigger CD-quality samples and create phrase loops complete with pro-quality effects. The HPD-15 HandSonic is the world’s most powerful (and famous!) electronic hand percussion multi-pad. It offers incredible triggering capabilities based on Roland’s V-Drums® technology.
