V-Drums History
Roland has become the leading electronic-drum maker on the planet. Here's how the magic happened.
New Snare, New Hi-Hat, New Stand!
Roland introduces the newest member of its award-winning V-Drums® line: the TD-6SW, which succeeds the TD-6SV. The TD-6SW features a new type mesh snare pad (PDX-8) and an improved, enlarged hi-hat cymbal pad (CY-5). The MDS-6SL drum stand has been upgraded with a second horizontal tier of pipes to improve stability and durability.
The TD-6SW is packaged in two separate boxes as follows.
Brain Power
The core of the TD-6SW kit is the TD-6V Percussion Sound
Module, a 64-voice module that offers over 1,000 of Roland’s best
drum/percussion sounds. Dual-trigger tom inputs allow for rim
shots on toms. Large, luminous buttons and a cool, blue display
make the TD-6V fun and friendly to use.
Upright Kick
Drummers will appreciate the TD-6SW’s upright kick drum pad. Its
vertical design not only provides a better feel compared to
reverse-type kick pads, but also reduces vibration so you get nothing
but solid kick sounds. And here’s more good news: The kick pad can
accommodate double-bass pedals.
PDX-8: V-Pad
Improved V-Pad™ for Snare
Roland’s newest mesh V-Pad (PDX-8) offers an
expanded 10-inch rim for more comfortable and
quiet rim-shots, as well as separate head and rim
triggering for authentic performance.
CY-5: Dual Trigger Cymbal Pad
Improved Cymbal Pad for Hi-Hat or Splash
The newly designed cymbal pad (CY-5) features a
12-inch playing zone and swing movement for
more drummer-friendly triggering. The pad also
provides separate bow and edge triggering. The
CY-5 can be also used as an additional cymbal
pad, such as a splash, on V-Drum kits.
MDS-6SL: Drum Stand
This attractive new rack is a great match
for the TD-6SW. It offers double-reinforced
curved pipes and a silver finish.
