    I’ve watched your video several times I learned so much from your knowledge you shared. Thank you again for The countless hours you spent to educate cpeople who are interested in information about Drum modules! I’ve watched numerous tutorials about drum modules, and this video is by far The most information I’ve learned on the categories I lacked knowledge knowing. Looking forward to more videos in the future!

    Thank you for this excellent review. Its nice to see people appreciate good design. The DIY aspect of edrumming sometimes makes people complain about price. They dont take into account an engineers blood sweat and tears.

    • @Vdrumtips1

      mimicry88 I know exactly what you mean. Good engineering has its cost and I rather pay more money for a good design and good functionality.

    This is a really interesting and informative video, I didn’t realize the differences between the pd100, pd105, pd125 and pd128 pads. I’m a current td30k user. I’m getting ready to upgrade to the td50dp. Looking forward to seeing more great videos...

    Funny and informative in the same time. What an awesome review!
    I have to agree, the TD-30 is the best choice for triggering VST, though I haven’t yet tested the new digital snare & the TD-50.

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  6 років тому +2

      Mike Luke Thank you! I know that some people use the TD-50 with SD3, but I think it is not needed. I am not sure if the Digital pads generated Midi notes are different from what the TD-30 does.

    I have had my td30kv since 2 months after they were released and can safely say I’ve never had any wear on the cymbals. Using new sticks definitely helps I always use a different pair for an acoustic kit than I would for the electric. Only wear and tear I have had really has been on the meshes but an easy replacement to do

    We set up a brand new Roland kv-30 with a double pedal and a huge monitor set up. Ive been playing over 35 years and have been on countless tours and studios, yes it is the best electronic kit. It was like playing the best sounding and best feeling kits every time you sat down on it. It never changed. I would make micro changes as far as mic placement and reverb adjustments and found I liked it dryer but it was endless to how well you can dial the sounds in. Its like no other electronic kit ive ever played. As a matter of a fact I didn't care for them and always you a couple pads for accent around my acoustic kit live. This kit is different. It is as serious as you are and as serious as you want to be.

    Great video: Love my TD-30KV! Finally a video that proudly promotes one of the finest edrum kits ever made. Well done! Here's an artifact of interest: The TD-30 module can also be MIDIed to an old Roland PM-16 Drum Pad Midi Interface which will expand your inputs to 16 more pads/triggers! I've used this interface and it has some very good features including MIDI layering. They go for under 100 USD on eBay, Amazon or Reverb.

    • @Vdrumtips1

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  6 років тому

      Joshua Ferry Thank You! I also had a TD-9 for 3 years before I upgraded. I did not rush and took my time until I found a good deal on the next best module. The TD-9 is not ideal as slave module because of the cable snake.

    First off, been following you guys for a long time, your videos are high quality and informative and I've watched them many times over and always seem to glean something new. Second, for anyone reading, the TD-30 is widely available online which is where I snagged mine up for 1300 dollars, and let me tell you, it was money well spent.
    My only beefs with the TD-30 is that the stock snare sounds are just totally bad outside of 2 samples (the maple snare is passable and the custom wood one is the best). The kick/toms/cymbals however are a ridiculously huge step up from the TD-9 and the TD- 20. The bad samples and in particular the snare is something that seems to really plague all but the highest end of electric drum modules, I've played the top of the line Alesis and Yamaha kits as well and was like, "wow these are somehow even worse then Roland's snare sounds" so it must just be a thing in the E-drum world and not exclusive to Roland.
    The video mentions the fact that you have to, "dig around" in the module a bit, I'm gonna say that to anyone that isn't really experienced using drum modules, "dig around" is an understatement. This things got features and setting adjustments for days and days and days. I was already used to low end modules owning the TD-15 before hand, and I had to watch numerous videos/read numerous forum articles/mess around and dig endlessly just to wrap my head around the basic editing power. I've had the module for 6 months I'm barely learning how to use the USB to it's full capability and it's opening up so many possibilities.
    All in all, go buy this thing, I've got my kit dialed in so smooth I'd stack it up against a 5,000$ acoustic kit with brand new heads any day.

    Excellent review. I have had my TD-30KV for a few years now and learned some very valuable things that I didn't know from fiddling around with it myself. I love the set and have it maxed out on pad inputs now, thanks to deals found on ebay. I wish I had just 2 more aux inputs for cymbals so I wouldn't have to split a couple of triggers. No such thing as too many cymbals!

  • @marco_prolo

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  6 років тому +2

      Marco Prolo Sure, I am considering this too, but I still do not like the fact that Roland took away the percussion set.

    • @marco_prolo

  • @mfournier01
    @mfournier01 6 років тому +2

    Wow what a great review! I had no idea about the differences of the triggers internal to the 128s pads as well as all of the features of the TD-30 vs the td-50. I have been look at the TD-50 module to replace my TD-20X but now I am seriously considering the TD-30 especially if I can transfer all of my kits I have built over the years.

  • @danmayo9182
    @danmayo9182 6 років тому +2

    Thanks so much for posting this video -- I learned a ton! Now I understand exactly how the triggering system on the 108/128 pads (which I play) differs from other Roland pads. I was particularly interested in your comment that Drum-Tec pads won't perform as well as a 128 since I'm interested in the Drum-Tec Pro 14" snare -- not because I'm displeased with the 128, but rather because of the bigger size. That said, if the Drum-Tec pad isn't going to trigger as well, or exhibit more hot-spotting, then I don't think I would go there (particularly given how expensive the DT pad is). I have to agree that the 128 has less hot-spotting compared to earlier Roland pads, and I have no desire to go backwards in that regard. Any additional insight you could provide in this regard would be most welcome. Thanks again!

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  6 років тому

      Well that trigger technology is patented, so drum-tec cannot use it. Their pads however are good in another way, they reduce hottspotting trough a non stretchy mesh head that is tensioned. However, I believe the PD-128 does still perform a bit better. The drum-tech pads are still great though.

  • @retromitch7320
    @retromitch7320 11 місяців тому

    Curious if your still on here. Similar to my strike pro, when using direct out, seems all effects, eq, ambience and compression are gone, just the dry signal. I know most sound engineers in the clubs I play at don't have the time or interest in dialing these sounds in so feel like I need to send the LR to the FOH. Is this correct and is there a work around? In my experience, some of the ambience and compression cant be reproduced in a club mixing board? Figured, I could always send the LR of the full mix too and they could add some kick snare or toms etc but not pull sounds out?

    • @paulfromt.o.7384

    • @mattryan6886
      @mattryan6886 3 роки тому

      The TD-30 will be the new TD-10 imo, unless something drastically changed in vdrum technology, I could see this module being used 20 years from now. Td-10 came out in 97, and some people still using it for vst triggering. I had one as well, used it for vst triggering and just the module sounds only for my electronic music and it worked and sounded great. I sold it to another drummer who’s td-10 screen died and gave him friend price 140$

  • @KevinRMullins

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  6 років тому +1

      It depends on the user. The VST user does not need a Mimic, but the live drummer and the non-VST drummer, geeks, etc, should look into the mimic. It has a percussion set, many inputs and even some trigger adjustment settings that the TD-30 does not have. I am not a big fan of the touchscreen, but everything else is just great with the Pearl Mimic, most of all, the sounds.

    You can do sound layering with a midi cable plugged into the in and out then use percussion sets to layer sounds. It’s a “hack” work around for the module. So wish this percussion set feature was on td-27 and Td-50 module. I really want to upgrade to td-27, however I have thought about the td-30 instead. The biggest downside is no sample import. I know I could use ableton live to load samples

  • @careydixon8189

    Awesome review. I understand much more about my pads, the differences re: TD30/50 and the info on the refurb details on the triggers, is great, as a DIY (hate I cant buy parts from Roland now). Thx, also for stating the sounds do not match the TD50. Why in the world would they down grade output, etc features, if I understand this correctly = to the TD50 or the big kit expansions of more pads or no USB for kits saves & updates. The Silver cymbals have 1 issue : build up on frame edge inside that must be cleaned out periodically. The black cymbals/rim covers dont stain head, but the silver cymbals. Right on.

  • @danmayo9182
    @danmayo9182 6 років тому

    I was very interested in your statement that SD3 is optimized for the TD30 (which I play). I've watched a lot of different videos on the TD50, Mimic Pro, SD3, SSD and some other VST's. Some sound better than others but SD3 is the only one that makes me REALLY want to make a switch. It will likely be my next upgrade. I think the only reason I haven't done it is because I don't have the time to invest into digging in and learning the software (and it's obviously designed with the power user in mind). For now, sticking with my TD30 (though I'm definitely aware of its limitations, I'm not displeased with it) but it's good to have some more reassurance that the upgrade path should be relatively smooth. Thanks!

      Fausto Sánchez Yes, the TD-17 has a much better sound engine (from the TD-50). I like the TD-17 sounds much more, however, the other features (mentioned in the video) are much more important to some users. But still the TD-17 is great for its price range.

      Mario Pérez Cuartero For a TD-30KV? The set without accessories costs around 3500-4500$ on the second hand market. But I saw TD-30 KVs being sold for 3000$. It depends on the seller and a bit on luck aswell. So 3000€/$ is a good price. And 3500-4000 is an ok price. Age and condition are a big factor.

    • @Vdrumtips1
      @Vdrumtips1  6 років тому

      Well, there are some people that prefer the TD-30 sounds over the TD-50 sounds. It is also a matter of taste. I personally like the 50s sounds more. Others do even prefer the TD-20 sounds.

    • @johndef5075
      @johndef5075 6 років тому

      Its all opinion! Most people could make some pretty good sounding kits with this module. Plus they never take into account headphones monitors and other variables that affect sound. I played a td-25 and a td-50 back to back in a drum shop and the td 25 sounded better to me. Could have been the headphones.

    Say whatever you want about the TD-30, but I've had my set for 6 years now and it has been a gigging workhorse. This year I've flown four times with it (in cases) and it never disappoints. It truly shines in the studio with its full MIDI in/out and it also reduces massively the need to barricade the drummer off.
    It also has some very powerful chain and rotation capabilities that can be "recorded" and played on demand by a foot switch..... Very useful in "one-man shows" not to even mention VST.
    It has its warts, to be sure, but it's made its money back for me easily.

    TD11 have some decent rimshot capability. Got a set myself (+ extra cymbal and double pedals), it's not THE best of VDrums, but it is fun to play, i can grab symbols to silence them, do ride, bell and splash too.
    I have played the TD-30 KV in a store, i can only describe the feeling as... well, when you go from like cheap €100 drums to the TD 11/15 type VDrums... that difference is as distinct between the 11/15 and the 30. It feels more like playing on REAL drums. Was kind of expensive at the time, but if i was a professional drummer i would have bought the 30 without even blinking.

      Defeat Sensorship Because no one needs that. It would make the pad and module more expensive for a feature that maybe 1% of the users demand. BTW, the snare wires can be thrown off in the module.
