Roland TD-17KVX2｜High-level professional electronic drum

Superior sound inspires outstanding performances

The TD-17's sound engine inherits the Prismatic Sound Modeling technology of the flagship TD-50 sound module, bringing you the most outstanding drumming experience. The moment you start playing, you'll instantly experience a wider dynamic range and expressive tonal changes depending on where and how hard you strike the pads. From the snare drum rim strikes, wheel drums, ornaments to the dramatic crash strikes, continuous cymbal head strikes, and the different sounds from the cymbal head to the cymbal edge with the hi-hat in the half-open position, every detail can be expressed delicately, accurately, and super smoothly.

It has the playing feel of a traditional bass drum (but is quieter)

A good, solid bass drum usually produces a nice, booming noise. Sometimes that's the kind of free-spirited vibe you want, but it may not be what your family or neighbors think. The KD-10 bass drum pad's rubber outer layer combines with a proprietary gasket to absorb most noise, but still retain the satisfying thumping feeling when the drumstick hits the bass drum head. It is perfect for drummers who find loud noises a problem when playing at home. It is compatible with all standard commercially available kick pedals, including single or double kick pedals.

Utilities

A drummer's first priority should be to maintain a steady rhythm so that he can present a more inspiring performance. But mastering the basics is exciting because it gives you a solid foundation, and sticking to tracking your progress will keep you motivated. The TD-17 sound source includes a Coach mode to support your daily practice. You can warm up, develop your sense of rhythm, speed and timing, and even build endurance – and there's a scoring feature to let you know how you're doing.

Develop your sense of rhythm

Time Check mode helps you develop your accuracy by playing along with the beat. The number of accurate hits is displayed as a percentage, and the screen will also show whether you hit the pad on time, ahead of the beat, or behind the beat. Using Time Check more often will greatly help you develop a sense of rhythm.

Make your built-in biological clock more accurate

The Quiet Count mode can help you strengthen your body's inner sense of rhythm and speed. The metronome will sound at the specified volume for the first few bars, but will be silent for the next few bars. During the silent beat, you must rely on your inner sense of timing and focus on keeping the tempo until the beat sounds again. The more you use your internal metronome, the more you'll develop a precise sense of timing.

Easier to achieve efficient warm-up exercises

Warm Up mode makes your practice routine more enjoyable and fun, which means you’ll enjoy practicing more. Choose whether you want to warm up for five, ten, or fifteen minutes, change the difficulty, and then choose the speed. You will be given a series of exercises to get you started with, including variations in rhythm type, changes in tempo, and evaluation of the accuracy of your playing. At the end, you'll receive an overall score that allows you to continually strive for improvement.
