pd-125 and pd-105 question

[gostviper]

When I get my td-12, I'd like to have something bigger as my "floor" toms. something like 3 pd-85 as the first 3 toms, a pd-105 as the first floor, and a pd-125 as the second one.
though the roland website says this:

They are also the first V-Pads with rim shot capabilities on the toms—including the actual “rim click” sound*.

*Rim triggering on toms requires TD-20 Percussion Sound Module.

Does that mean that when using the pads as toms on with a td-12, I won't get any sounds from the rims, or just not the realistic rim click sound?

a floor which is the same size as my snare? ok... I'll try... but 8 inches? god, give me something to play into!

thanks

The rims on the TD-12 work the same as the TD-20. No worries there.

why would they say that tom triggering requires td-20 module? is it because they have not updated the page since the td-12 has came out, and this warning was for td-8 users?

and umm... are you sure about what you said?

Rim Triggers

All toms on a TD-12 & TD-20 modules have rim triggers. You can program them to make any sound you want. From rim clicks to cowbells and beyond.

thanks for confirming... roland needs to update their website

Give Roland US a chance; they're only three years out of date.

(and now they can include the TD-9 too. )

hehe... bruce, would you happen to know if 3 pd-85's will fit on the frontal horizontal bar of an mds-12 if a pd-105 + pd-125 on the side bar?

thanks

Perhaps, just; See the photos in this thread: TD-12 rack
