One suggestion: your new cable connectors have a metal strain relief built in. If you can cut/ orient each cable so the black insulator is just a little longer (or push the cable forward slightly), lightly clamp the metal ‘clip’ toward the rear of the connector to surround and “grab”the cable. That way if and of the cables get pulled on, the cable will stay in one piece. ;)
Great idea, the reason why? Many Roland OEM harnesses are limited in length, making placement of the toms difficult. With this mod, one could incorporate longer tom and cymbal cables, making placement in proper position far easier. Further, if you use your drum module on multiple kits, it saves wear and tear on the multi pin module plug.
I hate and love roland, their drum products are great but always have upgrade limits and crazy prices. For example spd sx is a great device but it came out in the 2009 and the new drum modules are great but the sounds seems to be of the 2009 too.
@@edrumnow It is crazy to me that they haven't upgraded the spd-sx in so long. At least alesis has finally moved past an lcd display. And the fact that there isn't an easier way to load user samples (like a purpose built interface software, something like what the spdsx has) in the td17 is so frustrating. Thanks for the vid!
@@edrumnow Nailed it! They always find some way to gimp their products. Whether it's a module, such as the TD-17 having hardly any memory to load kits. To something like the MDS-Compact rack having a square tube as it's center brace instead of the industry standard 1.5" tubing that Roland uses on every other part of the rack. You know, heaven forbid if you might want to mount an extra cymbal. There are so many other places that they screw the consumer, including in the wallet.
Thanks for this video. I also own a Roland TMC-6 and the BT-1. What are your settings on the TMC-6 because when I have the BT-1 on the snare drum I always have unwanted triggers coming from the snare. I tried several settings but I can't get a good configuration with the elements that do not trigger between them... thank you.
I want to change my module to TD-27 but the multicord looks different from td-17 with its snare and ride cables ending in some other jack. So, can you please answer me, do you know, If you can use the multicord from td-17 with td-27? Because I have a ordinardy snare drum with a 6.3 mm jack and I want to use it from the multicord, not from AUX cable. It looks like to me they are the same size, so if anybody know, please help! Thank you
hi, yes it's compatible. The td-27 has a double connection option for snare and ride, USB or regular 6.3 mm jack. www.thomann.de/it/roland_td_9_td_11_td_15_multicore.htm
Ciao complimenti per il video, io suono in appartamento quindi vorrei convertire il mio kit acustico in uno elettronico montando: Pelli mesh silent stroke Piatti low volume Triggers per le pelli e piezi per i piatti Centralina La mia domanda è, che centralina sotto i 500€ mi consiglieresti per il mio kit? (Cassa, rullante, tom1, tom2, timpano, Crash 1, Crash 2, ride, charleston) grazie 😄
grazie! ti consiglierei il modulo della roland td 11, nuovo mi sembra che costi intorno ai 500€, usato lo trovi anche a 300!! è ottimo e ha anche l’ingresso per il secondo crash! ciao😀
Why wreck the OEM harness and end up with a bulky bundle of plugs & sockets hanging out of the back of the module, when instead you could just buy a D type connector and solder whatever cables you like to it?
Ciao complimenti davvero per il tuo video progetto. Ma io avendo una td27 ho dei jack che escono dalla multicore e che hanno il tappo. inserendoli in un tom qualsiasi sono muti ..come posso abilitarli?
ciao grazie! probabilmente devi abilitarli nel kit che stai utilizzando o nelle impostazioni del modulo. prova ad andare in “ instrument settings” probabilmente non hanno assegnato nessun suono. ciao
Quelli sono i jack per dei pad aggiuntivi. Li colleghi a un pad che sia un pad o un piatto e dalle impostazioni dei kit selezioni il suono che desideri
@@mircosapienza purtroppo no perché io ho un modulo diverso e non saprei dirti come fare nel tuo di preciso. Comunque dovresti andare su menu-instruments, a quel punto batti sul pad che hai collegato a quel jack e a quel punto dalla finestra "instruments" scegli il suono che vuoi dare a quel pad.
ciao scusami e possibile migliorare i suoni della td25 kv ,e come ,?cosa fare per avere dei suoni più reali ? via midi ? campionarli e poi inserirli ?si può fare? ciao grazie
Cerca su Google "Roland TD-25 kit" e entra nei siti Drum-Tec e Vexpression. Loro fanno kit per i moduli Roland e non solo. Sono di gran lunga migliori dei kit di default dei moduli. Infatti mi chiedo come mai non chiamino loro per fare i kit quando fanno dei moduli nuovi. Anche gli ultimi moduli come il TD-17 e 27 nonostante la tecnologia e le funzioni hanno dei kit pessimi paragonati ai kit Drum-Tec e Vexpression. Non te ne pentirai. Io come modulo ho il TD-11, non mi interessano troppi kit, me ne bastano una quindicina che mi diano il suono più fedele possibile a quello di una batteria acustica. Ho acquistato il pacco kit della Drum-Tec "Real Acoustic Sound" per il TD-11 e sono rimasto sorpreso dalla differenza di suoni. Con 30 euro ho cambiato il modulo, come se ne avessi comprato uno nuovo
sorry for the late respond, sometimes roland invert the white and red cables for head and rim. You have to invert the red and white cable connections. try with this: red-->ring white->tip
I don't see the difference from what he started with, all he did was put plugins on the cables. Just plug in what you need and let the rest hang, that's all he did after all that work.

thank goodness you said this this way. i would have said it louder with more dirty words.

I admire your restraint in not using all of your inputs. :)
dude.. i came here to see if i could add more inputs xD
Thanks man. I was looked all over the net but cannot find any useful step by step like your video.
This is also good for those who want make a hybrid kit. Now i can choose myself how long every cable is! Very usefull!
Very nice! That is a great way to have more control of cable management, and a good easy way to be able to repair any faulty cables. Very nice!
Grazia amico, your a star and I love what your doing, keep up the great work
Excelent idea!!! Roland should build them separated like those
OR an optional harness to patchbay type thing,
Great idea for a portable simple kit!!
simple yet effective and putting module on the snare!!
It was painful but solid work
good idea. I actually have an extra roland snake I may do this to
Perfect! You are the man! Thanks
Great video, i have a second hands td17 with a broken cable for hihat controller. Will fix it this way.
Ciao, gran bel video, complimenti. Potresti dirmi che tipo di connettori consigli? Le femmine jack devono avere qualche requisito particolare?
ciao grazie, l'importante è che i connettori jack siano stereo e non mono.
Excellent vídeo! I have the roland TD-4KP would work with This module ?
That’s nice but please fix the cable inside connector with two “ears”, please :)
What kind of clamp are you using to mount the module? ...Great video, keep up the good work!
thanks! I use the roland clamp APC-33
Thanks for this video. I also own a Roland TMC-6 and the BT-1.

Hi, try these settings:
- Sensitivity = 8
- Threshold = 2
- ScanTime = 1.5
- Retrig Cancel = 2
- Xtalk Cancel = 70
You should offer these for sale.
Well Done !
Why you didn't buy a db connector and build the thing from scratch?
Would this work on td-07 to convert the ts mono cables to trs stereo cables to be able to get more pads hooked up to kit?
yes it should work but on the td-7 you can't split the sounds
Are those built-in samples? They sound great.
hi, yes it’s Roland TD25’s built-ins samples😉

@@edrumnow grazie mille 😄
A custom snare with 3 triggers ? What is the engineering behind ???
I'll post a video soon ;)
Why is TD-9 also in your description?
Why shouldn't it?
roland td-9 use the same cables connector
where can i buy these connectors?
Why wreck the OEM harness and end up with a bulky bundle of plugs & sockets hanging out of the back of the module, when instead you could just buy a D type connector and solder whatever cables you like to it?

Kalo untuk roland td 4 bisa ngga
Well done. Looks good. Learn to use flux, please. You’re just asking for cold solder joints.
thanks! I use a soldering wire with the flux inside.😉

ciao si è possibile ma con questo modulo (td25) solo via midi con drum software come ad esempio BFD3 o addictive drums.

Smart
i did this yesterday , but some dual cables get inverted the sound of head and rim, what i did wrong? the red cables are in identifcal position.
sorry for the late respond, sometimes roland invert the white and red cables for head and rim. You have to invert the red and white cable connections.
try with this:
red-->ring
white->tip
@@edrumnow thanks man!
swap the black/red and white.
You should sell them I would buy one
too expensive to made, I should sell it at 100 euros at least...
@@edrumnow that’s not alot here in the US seriously I would order one from you if you ever start selling them
I don't see the difference from what he started with, all he did was put plugins on the cables. Just plug in what you need and let the rest hang, that's all he did after all that work.
What is the support that you use to the module??
Roland APC-33
grazie ho letto ora la tua risposta
you reposted all the videos! anyway your videos are awesome
yes! I decided to fix the audio and some video parts. thanks!!!
Estamos no Brasil. Não sou americano
I wish somebody sold these
you forgot to crimp the wire :(
yeah I know, I did it later but not on camera…
Yea no thanks lol
