TD-10 Percussion Sound Module
Roland is proud to announce the V-drums TD-10, a revolutionary top-of-the-line electronic percussion sound module
complimenting Roland's acclaimed Compact Drum System. Utilizing Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) - the same
technology found in the precedent-setting VG-8 V-Guitar System - Roland has developed a sound source for the V-drums
that far surpasses any existing PCM-based technology. The result is Variable Drum Modeling, which not only provides
drummers with an unprecedented level of control and expressiveness in sound creation, but also gives them the
responsiveness of an acoustic drum set.
With its unsurpassed sound generation, unmatched trigger response, and powerful effects processing, the V-drums
gives drummers and programmers a percussion environment beyond comparison.
- Over 600 drum/percussion sounds and 50 melodic instrument sounds
- Features Variable Drum Modeling based on COSM technology
- Drum head type, shell materials and depth can be accurately "modeled" as well as microphones, their positions
and the type of room ambiance desired
- 12 dual trigger inputs - 8 stereo outputs (4 stereo pairs) - Monitor mix input
- Superior triggering response
- Controllable with brushes (when used with optional PD-120/100 V-Pads)
- Advanced effects processing
- Easy-to-use built-in sequencer
- Large graphic backlit LCD
- Wave expansion slot for future sound libraries
The V-Pro Kit combines Roland's revolutionary V-drums
TD-10 Percussion Sound Module with a host of new PD-100 and PD-120 "V-pads" and a full complement of dual-trigger pads, kick-drum and
hi-hat controls, and all the necessary connecting hardware. Through this combination of advanced percussion pads and an amazing
new sound module, the V-Pro Kit offers the most flexible, expressive electronic percussion set ever created.
Turn-key electronic percussion system
featuring:
- V-drums TD-10 Percussion Sound Module
- three 12-inch PD-120 V-pads
- two 10-inch PD-100 V-pads
- three 10-inch PD-9 dual-trigger pads
- one 7-inch PD-7 dual-trigger pad
- one KD-7 kick drum trigger
- one FD-7 hi-hat control pedal
- and the new MDS-10 custom drum stand
A breakthrough in expression and feel
Because fast triggering and expressive response are among the most desired qualities of an electronic percussion
set, the V-drums starts by giving drummers superior trigger response. Roland technological breakthroughs have
also given birth to positional detection with both the current PD-7/9 pads and the new PD-100/120 pads, which
even allow expressive triggering via brushes. The result is that the drummer can now "feel" the drum set ---
its natural variations and nuances --- in a way never possible, guaranteeing sonic satisfaction.
Easy to use and understand - Very drummer friendly
The large backlit LCD (160 x 64 dots) employs graphic icons for intuitive editing. With an interface that
features musical --- not technical --- terminology, the V-drums is a breakthrough in user friendliness for
drummers and programmers alike. Table-top or drum-mounted operation is possible with its lightweight, compact
design. And six faders, large buttons and an alpha dial are provided for quick and easy parameter changes.
Meeting the demands of serious musicians - Now and in the future
With 50 drum kits and a wide range of sounds (over 600 drum / percussion instruments and 50 melody
instruments), the TD-10's 56-voice polyphony ensures meeting even the most demanding requirements of live
and/or recording applications. 12 dual trigger inputs and 8 outputs (4 stereo pairs) are provided for
professional use, while a separate monitor mix input is useful for tempo reference or customized monitoring needs.
A user-accessible wave expansion slot is provided for future sound library developments and a memory card slot
is provided for data storage (M-512E cards). And because the system software is in flash ROM, software upgrades
will be easily available. The V-drums is fully compatible with the current PD-7/9 pads and will allow positional
velocity detection with these pads as well.
Limitless sound editing possibilities
V-drums users can customize drum sounds by choosing the type of drum head, shell material and drum depth, as
well as various types of muffling. Selections can be made between various microphones, their positions relative
to the drum set and even the desired room ambiance, just like in a real recording studio. High quality compression,
reverb, delay and EQ can be edited extensively.
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM)
When a musical instrument generates sound vibrations, they reach the human ear through various mediating
objects, each of which affects sonic perception. The material and construction of the instrument,
the electric/electronic/magnetic amplifying system, air and the reverberation of the room all affect the final sound.
Sound modeling, the latest DSP technology, "virtually" reconstructs these objects in the "sound chain". Roland's
innovative Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) uses the advantages of multiple modeling methods to accurately
emulate existing sounds and create totally new ones.
After the success of the COSM-based VG-8 V-Guitar System and the GP-100 Guitar Preamp/Effects Processors,
Roland engineers focused on the needs of drummers and programmers to develop the Variable Drum Modeling technology
employed in the V-drums. The combination of Roland's COSM technology and proven electronic percussion expertise
ensures that the V-drums will set an industry standard.
PD-100/PD-120 V-pads
- Innovative mesh drum head and rubber-coated rim design offer dramatically improved response and sensitivityover traditional electronic percussion pads
- First electronic percussion pads which allow for playing with brushes
- Dual trigger outputs provide for separate head and rim triggering (PD-120 only)
- Silent performance possible with unique mesh drum head design
- Pad look and feel more closely resembles acoustic drums
- Available in 10-inch and 12-inch diameters (PD-100, PD-120)

TD-8 Percussion Sound Module
Powerful and Affordable New V-Drum Module
The V-drums TD-8 Percussion Sound Module gives you everything the world-renowned V-drums have
become famous for: hundreds of amazing sounds, COSM modeling-based sound editing capabilities,
intuitive operation, and unmatched sensitivity, to name just a few. Yet this new V-drums sound
module comes in a more compact package at a very musician-friendly price making it the easiest
way to tap into the awesome power of the V-drums.
- V-drums sound module featuring 1,286 high-quality drum, percussion and instrument sound
and 64 distinct drum kits
- Powerful V-Edit mode offers modeling-based control over "virtual" drum shell depth,
tuning, head type, muffling and snare strainer adjustment
- Ultra-intuitive use interface with large backlit LCD, faders for instant group volume
adjustment, and luminous, "drummer-friendly" rubber buttons
- Onboard pattern-based sequencer with 800 patterns and GM-compatible sound module
- Compatible with a wide range of Roland percussion pads and controllers, including
PD-120/100/80/80R/9/7/5 pads, KD-120/80/7 kick triggers, FD-7 Hi-Hat Controller and SPD-20
Total Percussion Pad
A Drummer-Friendly Interface
The TD-8 Percussion Sound Module was designed from the ground up with live performance and easy
operation in mind. For this reason, it incorporates a large backlit LCD with a wealth of helpful
operation graphics and icons, luminous rubber buttons, and an angled module design which makes
operation fast. Like the flagship TD-10 module, the new TD-8 allows drummers to "see" COSM
Variable Drum Modeling in action, selecting drum composition, tuning and re-sizing the drum
icons as drummers customize their individual drum sounds, adding ambience and EQ- all of the
major editing features are here. The TD-8 also allows for the connection of up to 12 drum pads,
with instant group volume adjustment possible via onboard faders.
Amazing Sound Quality and Variety
When it comes down to it, an electronic percussion system is only as good as it sounds. For
this reason, the TD-8 includes 1,286 high-quality sounds, comprised of 1,024 drum and percussion
sounds and 262 backing instruments. Powerful COSM modeling-based V-Editing allows drummers to
precisely tune and shape individual drum size and depth, head type and tuning, muffling, and even
snare strainer adjustment. This sound customization is enhanced by the TD-8's high-quality Ambience
effects and EQ, as well as expressive positional sensing capability- which triggers different
sounds and timbres based on the exact location of pad hit. Like the TD-10, the TD-8 is also
sensitive enough to be triggered with brushes.
