Roland V-drum Benefits and New Kits

The electronic drum market is growing, mostly due to two big reasons: technological advancements and a new generation of drummers that are more open to playing electronic drums. There's an analogy between electronic drums and digital pianos, back in the '80s everyone thought they sounded bad, and fake, but today they are more accepted and they sound great.

Some of the reasons that electronics are winning over drummers in a big way are that electronics fill a lot of needs that acoustics can't satisfy. With electronic drums, drummers can play at any time. By putting on headphones, they can hear amazing drum sounds without disturbing family members, or if they live in apartments, without disturbing other tenants. Churches love electronic drums because of the great sounds and the volume control aspect. Also, show drummers appreciate the variety of sounds available in a small and simple to use unit, and of course, the volume control. Even, recording studios realize the advantages of the electronic drums. For them, there's a huge savings in time and expense to get a great drum sound. Then there are other musicians, like guitarist, that are getting more and more interested in electronic drums. Not the entire drum kits necessarily, but the drum brains and modules which have features they can use for sequencing, or simply finding a groove to jam along to.


Roland has recently introduced two new V-drum kits. The TD-20SX is the grand-daddy of the V-drum line. The TD-20's brain has 920 drum instrument sounds, 100 drum kits, new sound layering and enhanced editing features, new compression algorithms, and new ambience choices for a wide variety of live environments. The
TD-20SX is for the professional who really needs the ultimate in the industry, or for the hobbyist who has a lot of money :-) The TD-20SX list price is $6,999.

The other addition to the V-drum line is the TD-4SX, this kit has all mesh heads. The Roland mesh heads have the nicest feel and response of all of the electronics on the market. The list price for the TD-4SX is $1,599, but The Drummer's Den will get you the best price possible. In fact, the dealer cost on the TD-4SX was just reduced and I'm passing the savings on to the customer. Come to The Drummer's Den to get the TD-4SX at a big discount.

Come to The Drummer's Den and save $$$! I might be located in Scottsdale, but I don't charge "Scottsdale prices"!
