Roland TD-4S Electronic Drum Solo

August 15, 2010
By

Me messing around on my new electronic drum set. Nothing serious.

At the end of the video, I show how quiet the pads are when wearing headphones.

It’s a great little drum set. It fits nicely in the corner of my dirty room.

    @beardness I just …
    @beardness I just got an email from Roland. Apparently, this triggering problem of mine is just due to a setting called “Crosstalk” which can be adjusted.

    @TheWhitey74 I’ve …
    @TheWhitey74 I’ve never had any problem with the drums. They seem to respond every time. BUT the crash and ride cymbals are a different story. Every once and a while they just don’t trigger the sound. I don’t know if I got a bad pair or what. Sometimes it happens when I’m playing quiet, Sometimes when I’m playing loud.

    hey man very nice …
    hey man very nice playing! also do you ever have any issues with rolls and very fast runs? i mean with the drums not responding on every hit? I need an electric kit for the quietness purposes and that is a problem i really want to avoid

    @Stymieh8
    Thanks a lot. I definitely recommend it. I paid $1,000 for it, but you can probably find it for cheaper.

    great thanks

    @texasidiot47 …
    @texasidiot47 Thanks. I would say it’s a good choice for a beginner. The pads are smaller than a standard drumset which can help with precision. They feel pretty good. I haven’t noticed it affecting my performance on real drums at all. I like them.

    Hey, great improv …
    Hey, great improv by the way. Enjoyed watching it. Would you recommend an electronic set for a beginning drummer? I need a drum set that is quiet (I know, oxymoron), and doesn’t take up much space. This prob. means I’ll have to get an electronic one, but if I do will it throw me off whenever I try to play on an actual acoustic set? Thats my only real concern anyway…..

    @atomi50 I can’t remember exactly. It was less than 1000.

    @g4aaaa haha. It’s nice to be able to play at 2 in the morning without waking up the whole neighborhood.

    @YouHaveMetYourMaker

    That’s a good question. I haven’t used the Alesis or Rock Band 2 sets so I really couldn’t compare. I think they make a version of the TD-4 with all mesh heads. The mesh heads are very quiet with good rebound.

    hell yes
    i hate …

    yes
    i hate acoustics.

    i love your set man …
    i love your set man, how much did you pay for it?

  19. YouHaveMetYourMaker on August 15, 2010 at 10:51 am

    Ok I want a noise …
    Ok I want a noise and rebound comparision, Alesis DM10 Sudio, Roland TD-4S, and Rock Band 2 drum sets. Why Rock Band? I’m getting an elecronic set soon and have had a Rock Band kit before and can tolerate the noise and make use with the rebound.

    @CrazySilverSpoon …
    @CrazySilverSpoon With the cymbal pad that comes with it, It is only velocity sensitive (only when you hit it really hard do you get a bell.) BUT, you can upgrade to a better ride cymbal pad that has a bell.

  21. CrazySilverSpoon on August 15, 2010 at 10:51 am

    Can you have a bell …
    Can you have a bell and ride sound like on the other Roland modules or is it only velocity sensitive?

    what kind of …
    what kind of drumset doesnt come with a bass pedal like seriously like if ihave to buy one if i get one of these guys i shouldnt even bother buying BTW is the kit good just wondering

    @ChuyitoM No. It doesnt come with a bass pedal.

    Hey when you …
    Hey when you ordered the Drum kit did it come with a Drum pedal?

  25. beardness on August 15, 2010 at 10:51 am

    I think the sound …
    I think the sound module it comes with only allows you to add one more cymbal, but you can always upgrade sound modules later.

    and yes, you can use a guitar amp for the speakers.
