Roland Unveils TD-20KX Series V-drums

Sept. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Roland is pleased to announce the new V-Drums TD-20KX.  With a stunning new look, highly expressive sounds, and upgraded hardware throughout, the flagship Roland TD-20KX drum kit provides the best and most natural playing experience available from Roland’s acclaimed V-Drums line.

The TD-20KX drum kit introduces a completely new look, with striking brushed-metal Roland V-Pads and V-Kick shells, a more substantial V-Kick for a solid, natural feel, silver coloured V-Cymbals, and a rock-solid chrome drum rack with new metal clamps and internal cable management.  In addition, the newly designed Roland V-Pads allow drummers to easily change shell wraps for their V-Pads and V-Kick to customise the look of their drum kit.

At the heart of the Roland V-Drums TD-20KX drum kit is the new TD-20X percussion sound module, which combines the features of Roland’s TD-20 and TDW-20 expansion board.  With 920 drum instruments, 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 Roland TD-20KX delivers the quality and sound expected from the leader in electronic drums.

The new Roland MDS-25 Drum Kit Stand, designed for professional stage use, provides rock-solid drum kit stability with its advanced weight-balanced design.  The newly designed metal mounts for cymbals and toms provide a highly flexible drum kit setup.  The rubber protective sleeve shields the cables from damage, while the new clear-cabling system complements the overall design.

The new Roland V-Drums TD-20KX drum kit will be available in September 2009 RRP £5,769.
