V-Drums: The World’s Most Popular Electronic Drums
V-Drums forever changed the drumming world in 1997, introducing stunning sounds and expressive playability that were leaps and bounds ahead of any other electronic drum sets available. And we’ve never stopped innovating, leading the way with continually evolving technologies and an ever-expanding product range for players at every level. V-Drums are used daily in homes, recording studios, education settings, houses of worship, and live performance venues from small clubs to massive arenas. While affordable, the TD-02 series embodies the V-Drums legacy of quality, delivering a premium drumming experience that no other entry-level kits can match.
A Rock-Solid Drumming Foundation
When you’re just starting out, it’s essential to get a drumming setup that encourages you to build skills the right way. The expressive sounds, responsive pads, and comfortable layouts of TD-02 kits provide the foundation you need, helping you master authentic playing techniques that will translate to larger V-Drums sets and acoustic drums.
Highly Playable Drum Pads
Each TD-02 series kit features a full array of ultra-responsive drum pads, including a snare, three toms, and a space-saving kick pedal. The drum pads’ refined rubber surfaces feel just right to play, and it’s easy to adjust the angles and positions to your taste with the smooth hardware mounts.
PDX-8 Mesh-Head Snare
The TD-02KV kit includes a PDX-8 snare pad with a tension-adjustable Roland mesh head like higher-end V-Drums pads. Offering the natural stick feel and rebound of an acoustic snare, it’s a prime upgrade for ambitious drummers. Dual triggers support head articulations and rimshots, and you can play cross-stick techniques as well.
Cymbal Pads with Authentic Feel
The crash and ride pads in TD-02 kits swing naturally when struck and can be choked by grabbing the edge—just like acoustic cymbals. Both provide different sounds on the bow and edge, and the ride supports crash playing too. And with the hi-hat pad and controller pedal, you get seamless open-to-closed transitions and support for heel splashes and other authentic pedal techniques.
Rugged V-Drums Stands
TD-02 series stands are a step above those that come with budget electronic drums, providing sturdy, stable foundations for years of intense drumming. And when you’re done for the day, just pick up the stand with pads in place and stow it in a corner or closet.
Adjustable Height for Younger Players
The three-post TD-02K stand offers easy height adjustment, making it perfect for younger players. The TD-02KV stand features a four-post design that supports a wider acoustic-style layout.
LOW-NOISE BENEFITS
Drum Without the Noise
Electronic drums are far quieter than acoustic drums, meaning you can play for long sessions without driving your family and neighbors crazy. V-Drums are much quieter than other electronic drums, thanks to innovative noise-reduction features you’ll only find with Roland kits.
Play with Headphones
When you plug headphones into the module, you’re instantly immersed in a studio-grade sound experience that makes drumming endlessly fun. And as you rock out, the only thing outsiders can hear is a light percussive patter.
Hardware Designed for Quiet Playing
While drum pad noise is easily isolated in a closed space, the “thump” produced when playing pedals can sometimes carry through to adjoining rooms via the floor. The hi-hat controller and kick pedals in the TD-02 series come equipped with proprietary sound absorption designed to contain this noise transfer. If that’s not enough, you can go even further by placing them on our acclaimed Noise Eater products.
MODULE HIGHLIGHTS
The TD-02 Sound Module
The TD-02 module is the heart of the TD-02 series kits, putting a wealth of rich, expressive drum sounds and powerful practice tools at your command. And with the dead-simple interface, you can go a long way without ever cracking open the manual.
Inspiring Drum Sounds
The TD-02 module features 16 ready-to-play kits inspired by high-end V-Drums. Cover any music style with a wide range of acoustic kits, from dry, natural drums and fat, processed studio kits to massive rock drums that sound like you’re playing on a concert stage. You also get modern electronic kits to play with the same type of drum sounds heard on today’s most popular hit records.
Play Along with Music and Video Lessons
After you’ve worked on your rudiments, you’ll be itching to try them out with some real music. With the TD-02 module’s stereo audio input, you can connect your smartphone or a music player and drum along with your favorite bands through the headphones. This also provides a great way to work through instructional drumming videos on the web.
Develop Your Technique
Whether you’re learning on your own or studying with a drum instructor, Roland’s acclaimed practice features will help you become a better drummer faster. Coach mode is your personal trainer for daily improvement, offering progress tracking and tools to develop your groove, timing, and stamina. And a metronome is always at the ready, complete with different rhythm subdivisions, sound options, and an LED that flashes with the tempo.
EXPAND YOUR DRUMMING SETUP
Optional Wireless Expansion
A highlight of the TD-02 series is the ability to stream music to the kit. Just connect the optional BOSS Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor to the TD-02 sound module, pair your phone, and you’re good to go. Wirelessly stream music from your smartphone and listen to the performance through your headphones. Or better still, play along with your favorite bands—including your own.
