TDW-1..........worth it?

[Axe]

Hi everyone,

Just got a TD-10 Saturday (currently using Yamaha Wrist Buster, er, DTXpress pads) and it really is amazing. My major gripe with the Yamaha was lack of quality snare sounds, but thats definitely not a problem now.

Anyway, I've been lurking here and it seems a few of you have had issues with the TDW-1 upgrade thingie. My question is, if you had it to do all over again, would you? The results of this unscientific poll will greatly influence my descision.

Thank you

Oh yes, definitely get the tdw-1 exp card.

I think the overwhelming consensus is Do It.

Not sure what TDW-1 issues you are referring to. It added lots of good sounds, especially cymbals, and several much appreciated new features. While we always wish these things would do more, I can't think of anything off hand that got worse.

if you don't do it we will all secretely get together and say things about you.......


tdw1 rocks

The Roland td-8 offers more for less money, so should I do it (buy a td-10 and then expanding it) all over again? No.

But but since you already bought the td-10: get the TDW-1. It's worth the extra money.

Two weeks ago I got a TDW-1. I played 18 months without and now I cannot understand how I survived
Especially the Cymbal sounds are much better now and so is the triggering. I can make real rolls now on my crashes.
With my band “The Shed” we play Brazen from Skunk Anansie and I never liked the rolls the way I played them. The swelling of the sound was awful.
Now with the TDW-1 it’s really great!!!

Groeten,

Don't hesitate, leave your house right now, go to your nearest Roland dealer and buy it!

Not only is the TDW-1 worth it but you get 2.5 cool points around here in Vland. Also worth it is the KD-120...or two.
