Overview

Home studios and practice rooms that want the look of a real kit get full size shells in chrome hardware and Midnight Sparkle wrap with this Roland set. Digital snare, hi-hat and ride pads sense where you strike, and the module models drums in realistic room ambience.

Acoustic feel and detailed triggering are why to buy it, with multi-sensor pads that respond to position and dynamics. The listing is muddled, with a title naming another model, and the kick pedal, hi-hat stand and throne are missing from the parts list.

Who it's for

Drummers recording at home or playing quiet gigs who want real drum proportions will appreciate it. Beginners on a tight space budget should look at a compact kit.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full size wood shells
  • Digital multi-sensor snare, hi-hat and ride
  • Bluetooth play along
  • Import your own samples
Cons
  • Title names a different model
  • Kick pedal and throne not listed

Performance notes

Digital pads with multiple sensors read strike position and force, so rimshots and cymbal bell hits sound distinct. The module models drum tone and room ambience instead of only playing back samples. Assignable outputs send separate drums to a PA mixer.
