ROLAND ADDS VALUE TO ITS TD-12S V-DRUMS® SET

New TD-12SV includes CY-12R/C V-Cymbal Ride/Crash at No Extra Cost

Los Angeles, CA, June 20, 2008—Roland® Corporation is pleased to announce the TD-12SV, which adds a second CY-12R/C crash cymbal and accompanying MDY-10U cymbal mount to the highly acclaimed TD-12S V-Stage® Series V-Drums.

The CY-12R/C V-Cymbal Ride/Crash is an expressive 12-inch dual-trigger electronic cymbal that offers the natural rebound, inertia and “swinging” motion of an acoustic cymbal. Also including cymbal choke capabilities, it is perfect for use as a ride, crash or even a splash cymbal on V-Drums systems and other electronic drum sets.

“The addition of a second CY-12R/C cymbal to the new TD-12SV will open drummers to new configurations, thus enhancing their performance capabilities,” says Steve Fisher, Product Marketing Manager of the Drum & Percussion Division, “We are pleased to bring this additional component to our TD-12S V-Drums set at no additional cost to our customers.”
