The mid-range of Roland V-Drums
The Roland TD-17KVX is a high-quality, mid-range e-drum set that impresses with lively sounds, reliable performance, and intuitive usability. The associated sound module uses the engine of the e-drum flagship TD-50 and offers 50 kits and 310 individual sounds of acoustic and electronic drums and percussion instruments. A Bluetooth interface allows a wireless smartphone connection in order to stream music directly into the module, and thanks to the internal Quick Record, you can also record your own playing without additional cables. The results can be saved to an SD card, and in this way, it is also possible to import your own samples. The whole picture is rounded off by several intelligent practice functions.

The large extension level of the TD-17 series
The KVX configuration of the Roland TD-17 is the large extension level of the TD-17 series, which primarily differs from the mid-level TD-17KV with regard to the cymbals. The kit comes with two fully rubberised crash pads (CY-12) with two playing zones and a choke function as well as a ride (CY-13R), which also offers a third zone for the ride bell. The hi-hats feature a VH-10 pad, which is mounted on a standard hi-hat stand (not included). All drum pads are equipped with double-layer mesh heads, which are characterised by an authentic rebound and at the same time remain relatively quiet. The pads and the sound module are mounted on the compact and high-quality MDS-4VX drum rack. The system can also be upgraded with another compatible pad of your choice (e.g. a second snare pad).

Flexible sound and motivating practice functions
The Roland TD17-KVX offers a wide range of functions that can be controlled intuitively on the compact and clearly arranged sound module and come in handy in the rehearsal room or practice room as well as during small to medium-sized live shows. Drum tuning and muffling, and also more "exotic" parameters (e.g. snare wire tension) can be adjusted in no time. A multi-effects section with 30 effects is available for even more detailed sound configuration, and layering of sounds is also possible. The intelligent practice functions are tailored, among other things, to train your sense of rhythm and your inner clock, and feature a scoring system that has a highly motivating effect even on experienced drummers.

About Roland
The Roland company was founded in 1972 in Osaka, Japan, and has been designing and building electronic musical instruments ever since. During its successful history, Roland has launched many ground-breaking instruments, from legendary drum machines such as the TR-808 and the TR-909 to synthesizer classics like Jupiter-8, SH-101 and the iconic TB-303. Besides synthesizers, Roland's workstations and electric pianos are also very popular. Equally well-known is Roland’s subsidiary Boss, under whose brand name it designs and sells principally guitar pedals and effects units. Under the Roland Professional A/V label, the company additionally develops and distributes professional equipment for virtually every branch of audio and video production - from home studios through to commercial applications.

Audio and MIDI via USB
The sound module of the Roland TD-17KVX has an analogue stereo output, which can be used to hook up the kit to a PA system or an active monitor, for example, and of course headphones can also be connected, which can be controlled via a shared volume control. In addition to the internal Quick Record, the USB interface can also be used for recording, which, in combination with a computer, turns the module into a USB audio interface with a stereo input. The USB interface can additionally be used as an alternative to the classic MIDI output that is also incorporated, for example to control virtual drum studios on your computer. Thanks to the flexible MIDI mapping, communication runs smoothly here.
