The TD-07DMK is a compact digital drum kit with a great price/quality ratio from Roland. Roland is a company that brings great audio products to the market, especially in the field of digital drum kits they are very popular. This is because they are very innovative and progressive. Their drum kits are of high quality and are used by professional drummers. The TD-07DMK is part of their TD-07 series. Within this series, drum kits are made that are compact and affordable. The TD-07DMK is the cheapest of the series, but does not compromise on quality.

The TD-07DMK Set

The TD-07DMK offers a lot for the price. The set includes two cymbals, a crash and a ride, as well as a hi-hat. These are made of rubber and have a great response. The set also includes three tom pads and a snare pad. These pads are made of mesh, not rubber. Rubber is the standard, but mesh is considered better. Mesh imitates the skin better in terms of rebound, feel and sound. Mesh heads are also quieter. You can always hear the rubber hitting the head, even when playing with headphones. Mesh heads do not have this problem, so the TD-07DMK is very quiet. The pads and cymbals also incorporate precision technology, so that every nuance of your playing is captured and processed into the sound. A hard strike will produce a louder sound than a soft strike, roll, rolling movement or touch.

Sound options

This drum set comes with the TD-07 module, like every set in this series. This is a high-quality drum module. The module has 50 built-in drum kits, giving you a wide choice of sounds. These kits have been recorded by professional drummers in the best studios, so that high quality can be guaranteed. In addition, these kits are customisable, allowing you to create the most unique sounds and combinations. You can also set the environment. An acoustic set sounds different depending on the room it is in. With the TD-07DMK you can adjust this, making the sound even more authentic. Furthermore, the module also has a Bluetooth function, allowing you to play along with your favourite songs. It is also possible to connect the module to a computer via the USB connection.

Please note: This drum set comes without a bass drum pedal

Why a digital drum kit?

But why digital drumming? A digital drum kit has certain advantages that an acoustic set does not have. Firstly, a digital drum kit is more compact and lighter than an acoustic one, which makes transport and assembly easier and the set takes up less space. In addition, it is not possible to play silently with an acoustic drum kit. With a digital drum kit, it is. The TD-07DMK has a headphone jack and silence technology, which allows you to play almost silently. This is ideal for the drummer who plays until very late or who lives in an apartment. Recording also becomes a lot easier. To record an acoustic set, a microphone must be placed at each drum and cymbal, which are then connected to a computer via an interface. The TD-07DMK can be connected directly to a computer with a USB cable. In addition, a digital set has many more sound options than an acoustic set, so that when you buy one digital drum kit, you actually get more. In short, the TD-07DMK is a great digital drum kit for a fantastic price!

With the Roland TD-07KV, Roland has launched a very interesting electronic drum kit on the market. A full-fledged drum kit in a price range where Roland has never shown it before. The TD-07KV is a compact drum kit that delivers superior expression and playing comfort. All pads feature the widely acclaimed mesh heads and a new dedicated bass drum unit provides optimal pedal experience. The new module is equipped with the latest features and lets you explore creative possibilities such as creating your own personalised sounds. In short, a relatively affordable drum kit with maximum sound and playing experience for the beginner to the avid hobby drummer.

The module of the Roland TD-07KV

The Roland TD-07KV features an all-new module. The module is the heart of an electronic drum kit. In the case of the TD-07, this concerns a powerful, capable and fast module equipped with many modern features. Previously, the most affordable drum kits involved the TD-1 series where you, the drummer, had access to a number of pre-programmed drum kits with no adjustments possible. In that respect, the TD-07KV opens up a new world! More than 20 different drum kits are programmed and in total up to 50 kits can be composed. This can be done by combining sounds from different kits and then customising them entirely to your own liking. For example, the size and thickness of the cymbals can be adjusted. But from full acoustic drums to percussion instrument to the smallest details are captured, A wide range of electronic percussion is also present.

The module is also equipped with the latest features such as a Bluetooth function. This allows you to connect your drum kit to smartphone or tablet and then wirelessly play your favourite songs and drum along fanatically. Of course, it is also still possible to connect a music device via an audio cable.

Playing comfort

Playing on a digital drum kit certainly doesn't have to be any less comfortable than on an acoustic kit. Roland pioneered this with the development of their widely acclaimed mesh heads. These heads have a very realistic touch and rebound of the drumstick, making the touch similar to an acoustic kit. Another big advantage of these mesh heads is that they minimise impact noise, making them much quieter. The special new bass drum unit has special damping that drastically reduces the sound of the beater on pad without losing playing comfort.
