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

Superior sound inspires outstanding performances

The TD-17's sound engine inherits Prismatic Sound Modeling technology from the flagship TD-50 sound module, delivering the ultimate drumming experience. From the moment you begin playing, you'll instantly experience a wider dynamic range and expressive tonal shifts depending on the position and force of your strikes. From snare rim hits, wheel drums, and grace notes to dramatic crashes, sustained cymbal bow strikes, and the distinct sound from bow to rim in the half-open hi-hat position—every nuance is rendered with exquisite detail, precision, and exceptional fluidity.

Has the playing feel of a traditional drum (but is quieter)

A good, solid kick drum often produces a nice, booming sound. Sometimes that's the kind of boldness you want, but your family or neighbors might not agree. The KD-10 kick pad's rubber cover and proprietary gasket absorb most noise while retaining the satisfying thump of the stick hitting the kick drum head. It's perfect for drummers who find loud noise a problem when playing at home. It's compatible with all standard single and double kick pedals.

Utilities

A drummer's first priority should be maintaining a steady rhythm before progressing to a more inspiring performance. But mastering the fundamentals is also exciting, as it builds a solid foundation, and consistently tracking your progress keeps you motivated. The TD-17 sound module includes Coach mode to support your regular practice. You can warm up, develop a sense of rhythm, tempo, and timing, and even build stamina – and there's even a scoring function to monitor your performance.

Develop your sense of rhythm

Time Check mode helps you develop your accuracy by playing along with the beat. Your accurate hits are displayed as a percentage, and the screen shows whether you're hitting the pads on time, ahead of, or behind the beat. Regular use of Time Check will greatly help you develop a sense of rhythm.

Make your built-in biological clock more accurate

Quiet Count mode helps you strengthen your internal sense of rhythm and tempo. For the first few measures, the metronome sounds at a specified volume, but then goes silent for the next few measures. During the silent measures, you must rely on your inner sense of timing, focusing on maintaining tempo until the click returns. The more you use your internal metronome, the more precise and accurate your sense of timing will become.

Easier to achieve efficient warm-up exercises

Warm Up mode makes your practice more enjoyable, which means you'll enjoy it more. Choose a warm-up time of five, ten, or fifteen minutes, adjust the difficulty level, and then select the speed. You'll be prepared for a series of exercises to get you started, including variations in rhythm type and tempo, and an assessment of your playing accuracy. Finally, you'll receive an overall score to help you keep improving.
