Incredible Sound and Power at a Great Low Price

Never has so much Roland electronic percussion power been this accessible! With the TD-6K Compact Drum System, drummers get the all-new TD-6 Percussion Sound Module with some of Roland's best drum and percussion sounds, responsive new rubber pads for drums and cymbals, new hi-hat pedals, a kick trigger, and a time-tested hardware and stand design. And thanks to the TD-6 module's additional trigger inputs, this drum set has got all your bases covered-now and in the future.

An Intuitive Module that's Jam-Packed with Sounds

At the heart of the TD-6K is the new TD-6 Percussion Sound Module. This easy-to-use tabletop module gives you 1,024 of Roland's best drum and percussion sounds, 262 backing sounds and 64-voice polyphony. Sounds are arranged into 99 drum kits and can be processed with a 2-band equalizer and an Ambience effect. The TD-6 also sports a 6-part sequencer with 150 Preset songs-perfect for practice-plus room for up to 100 User songs which can be recorded in real time.

A Full Array of Pads and Controllers

The TD-6K set includes five 8.5-inch PD-6 single-trigger pads for playing snare, tom and hi-hat sounds-plus two 12-inch CY-6 dual-trigger cymbal pads with cymbal choke for the crash and ride. Rounding out this system is a new hi-hat controller and kick trigger.

Expandable Design

Though the included PD-6 pads are single-trigger, the TD-6 module offers 6 inputs for optional dual-trigger pads like Roland's PD-7/9 and acclaimed mesh-head V -pads. This gives you the ability to easily upgrade your TD-6K system to a full 11-pad set.
