Overview By GAK
The TD-50K2 is part of the flagship TD-50X series, featuring the very pinnacle of electronic drums technology in a more compact format.
If you are a professional drummer wanting only the most realistic sounds, sophisticated technologies and a compact footprint, the TD-50K2 is the choice for you. The TD-50K2 is a slightly smaller version of the TD-50KV2, both using Roland’s most powerful drum module ever, the TD-50X.
Whether you are purchasing an electronic drum kit to use in the studio, at rehearsals, touring or teaching the TD-50K2 is built for those wanting the very best features, at a more convenient size.
9-Piece Drum Kit with Mesh Technology
The Roland TD50K2 is a TD Series format, meaning that the kit is made up of electronic drum pads and a drum module, housed on a rack system (MDS-GRAND2).
The TD-50K2 comes in a 9-piece pad configuration, with a kick drum, snare drum, 3x toms, 2x crashes, ride and hi-hats:
- Roland TD-50X V-Drums Sound Module
- Roland PD-140DS V-Pad Digital Snare
- Roland PDX-100 Tom V-Pad 10in x 3
- Roland VH-14D Digital V-Hi-Hat, 14in
- Roland CY-14C-T V-Cymbal Crash, 14in
- Roland CY-16R-T V-Cymbal Ride, 16in
- Roland CY-18DR V-Cymbal Digital Ride, 18in
- Roland KD-140-BC V-Kick Trigger Pad, 14in
- Roland MDS-GND2 Drum Stand
Each pad features Roland’s illustrious Mesh technology, which has revolutionised the electronic drum kit.
Each Mesh Head that features on the TD-50K2 has a unique weave, meaning the playability and stick rebound matches the feel of an acoustic drum kit. Better yet, the durability of Roland’s mesh far outweighs any other drum head on the market, each surviving their rigorous 1 million hit testing process.
To further add to the feel and durability, Roland has made each mesh head dual-ply, meaning the mesh feels less “trampoline-like”, which other inferior versions of mesh have been criticised for. The snare pad even features triple-ply, making feel even more like an acoustic snare drum.
Digital Pads:
- Roland PD-140DS V-Pad Digital Snare
- Roland CY-18DR V-Cymbal Digital Ride, 18in
- Roland VH-14D Digital V-Hi-Hat, 14in
Roland Digital Pads are a groundbreaking revelation to the Electronic Drum market. Traditionally Electronic Drum Pads use an analogue jack cable, whereas the PD-140S, CY-18DR and VH-14D connect to the TD-50X Module via a USB connection.
USB is able to transmit 10x the information as an analogue jack cable, meaning speed, velocity, position and duration are all calculated with far higher accuracy. Each Digital Pad performs far more expressively than the jack cable pad equivalent, making for a more realistic playing experience. USB has also unlocked the ability for Electrostatic sensors to be implemented in each digital pad, meaning you can choke/mute the cymbal with just a fingertip and play cross-stick without adjusting any settings.
To make sure you have everything you need, the TD-50K2 does not come with a snare stand, hi-hat stand, kick pedal or drum throne. Click Add To Basket for our top suggestions.
