Roland TD-17KVX Electronic Drum Set

Become a Better Drummer, Faster.    

When you’re serious about drumming, you need a kit to match your ambition. The V-Drums TD-17 series lets your technique shine through, backed up with training tools to push you further. Combining a TD-50-class sound engine with newly developed pads results in an affordable electronic drum kit that’s authentically close to playing acoustic drums—accurately mirroring the physical movement, stick coordination and hand/foot control that every drummer needs. Meanwhile, an array of built-in coaching functions will track your technique, measure your progress and increase your motivation. Becoming a better drummer is still hard work, but the TD-17 can help you get there.

     

       

                 

       

         

Winner of Best Electronic Percussion award         

The annual MusicRadar best in drums awards, in association with Rhythm Magazine, put the latest drum products to public vote. Only products that are regarded as ‘exceptional’ by the drum press are shortlisted, with only one winner in each category. Roland TD-17KVX V-Drums were voted the Best Electronic Percussion product in 2018, by a majority of fans.

               

Authentic Playing Feel and Skill-Building Tools          

If you regularly play acoustic drums, you shouldn’t have to change your playing style to use an electronic drum kit. You can use the same playing techniques you’d use on an acoustic kit, without compromise, thanks to the large 12-inch snare* and a natural feeling hi-hat** that can even be mounted on an acoustic hi-hat stand. And being based on the flagship TD-50 sound engine, the sounds faithfully reproduce the character and tone of acoustic drums, with lightning fast response time.
              *PDX-12 12” snare pad included with TD-17KV and TD-17KVX only
              **VH-10 hi-hats included with TD-17KVX model only       

           

The Essential Tools to Improve Your Drumming           

First thing’s first: drummers should be able to keep a solid beat before moving on to the exciting stuff. But mastering the basics is exciting too, as it provides a solid foundation for building your skills, not forgetting that tracking your progress is highly motivating too. The TD-17 module includes a Coach Mode to support your daily exercise regime. You can warm up, develop your sense of groove, tempo and timing, and even work on your stamina—all with a score that tells you how you’re doing.         

           

Join Your Favorite Band - No Audition Necessary         

Although playing endless drum solos is undeniably fun, it only takes you so far. Push your drumming further by playing along with your favorite bands, or rehearse the tunes you’ll be playing on stage. Wirelessly stream favorite songs from your smartphone to the TD-17 via Bluetooth audio, and hear the entire performance through your headphones. You can even record your performance and then listen back, to decide where you need to improve.
              *TD-17K-L does not support Bluetooth.

                              

Preparing To Play Live           

When rehearsing, it’s important to play with the same familiar drum sounds that you’ll be using on stage. The TD-17 includes a variety of expressive modelled drum sounds inherited from the flagship TD-50, so you’ll be sure to find the perfect drum sound as you prepare for the gig.

                    

Learn At Your Own Pace with Online Lessons and Desktop Applications           

Aside from studying with a drum teacher, there are plenty of online drum lessons or computer-based learning methods. The TD-17 is designed to help you improve—however you like to learn.
