The TD-50KV2 V-Drums electronic drum set is Roland's flagship V-Drums kit. Expanding on the success of the TD-30, the all-new TD-50X brings some new advances and features to make your playing experience even better. All new sounds have more realism, natural resonance, clarity, and a wider dynamic range to capture every nuance your technique. To achieve the capabilities of the TD-50X’s high-resolution sound engine, Roland has developed an updated digital snare pad and ride cymbal that both include a multi-sensor system with digital connection to TD-50X Drum Sound Module.

With this new set, Roland has increased the snare drum to a 14" digital pad and also increased the ride cymbal to an 18" digital pad. Multiple sensors across the playing surfaces of these pads eliminate the feeling of zones and seamlessly translate your playing. 

Whether you're modeling your acoustic kit or importing the latest drum samples, Roland makes it easy to incorporate these sounds into your V-Drum TD-50X. High-capacity SDHC cards let you create custom libraries and call them up on your V-Drums at will. The Prismatic Sound Modeling engine is the new standard in electronic kit shaping and will change how you listen to electronic drums. For the first time, users now have the option to control each cymbal's size and thickness and really dial in your custom sets.

We think this is a fantastic set to explore the new electronic drum set possibilities in new-generation e-kits!

The flagship TD-50KV2 represents the pinnacle of V-Drums innovation, delivering the most complete electronic drumming experience available anywhere. Large, top-of-the-line pads and cymbals are featured throughout, including groundbreaking digital snare, ride, and hi-hat pads that bring ultra-detailed playability to the three most nuanced pieces in the kit. The next-generation TD-50X module provides unmatched tone, feel, and response, coupled with deep editing tools to fully personalize your sound and pro connectivity to take on any playing situation. If you’re looking for the ultimate in V-Drums performance, look no further than the TD-50KV2.

Prismatic Sound Modeling: Feel the Difference

The Prismatic Sound Modeling in the TD-50X makes electronic drums come to life like no other system can, infusing multi-layer samples recorded in world-class studios with sophisticated behavior modeling techniques refined over more than two decades. Inspired by a prism—which refracts a single ray of light into every color in the spectrum—our revolutionary approach produces an unlimited array of sonic colors with every stick hit. The initial attack is followed by a complex mix of rich overtones, just like playing acoustic drums and cymbals. You can feel the sound changing in reaction to your expression, creating that magical, interactive bond that fully immerses you in the emotion of the moment. From subtle ghost notes and detailed articulations to the loudest and most intense playing, your drumming has no boundaries with the TD-50X.

Roland Digital Pads: A Revolution in Electronic Drumming

Our breakthrough digital pad technology fully realizes the vast expressive potential made possible with Prismatic Sound Modeling. Multi-sensor detection in the snare, ride, and hi-hat pads works with the lightning-fast processing in the TD-50X module to bring authentic acoustic nuance and detail to these core kit pieces. All your playing techniques translate seamlessly, such as subtly touching the ride to mute the sound or switching at will between head, rimshot, and cross stick playing on the snare. The game-changing VH-14D completes the experience, offering touch sensitivity, tonal variation, and open/closed resolution never available in electronic hi-hats until now.

Authentic Mesh Heads

The TD-50KV2 features Roland’s famous multi-ply mesh heads, with a three-layer head on the snare and two-layer heads on the toms providing natural stick resistance and rebound for ultra-satisfying feel and response. Just like drumheads on acoustic drums, you can tweak the tension to your preference with a standard drum key. And since our mesh heads produce very little acoustic noise, the TD-50KV2 is perfect for both quiet practice sessions with headphones and live performance setups that require complete volume control on stage.

Play Large

With its full-size spread and large-diameter snare and tom pads, the TD-50KV2 gives you the big vibe of a premium acoustic kit. The 18-inch KD-180 bass drum has the authentic feel and onstage presence of a traditional kick, with Roland’s special air-damper mechanics providing natural resistance and rock-solid triggering. And the large cymbal pads are 40-percent thinner than previous generations, offering the most satisfying stick response to date.

Make the Sound Your Own

Going beyond the presets, the TD-50X allows you to customize things at every level—just as you would with an acoustic kit. Make quick adjustments to tuning and muffling, or dive deep and build a kit from the ground up by selecting shell depths, drumhead types, cymbal characteristics, and much more. Then put the kit in the space of your choice using PureAcoustic Ambience, with full control of room type, reverberation, stereo width, and other parameters at your command.

Mix Outside the Box

When performing with electronic drums, the ability to process sounds outside the kit is vital. The TD-50X has ten fully assignable outputs for sending the house engineer whatever drums they need, with or without effects. And via faders on the panel, you can easily control the mix from the stage when you’re on your own. The TD-50KV2 also excels for computer music production, with the ability to send up to 32 simultaneous channels of digital audio plus MIDI over USB for premium-quality transfer.

Your Personal Practice Partner

The TD-50X is loaded with practice features that make every session fun, productive, and rewarding. Improve your timing with the metronome and Coach mode exercises, or simply jam along with music played from a smartphone or laptop. The onboard recorder lets you capture and review your playing at any time, complete with the ability to export audio (with or without backing music) for sharing with others. And you can extend your practice even further with Melodics™, a free desktop app that comes with 40 lessons, plus unlimited access via a subscription when you’re ready for more.
