Roland at Drum Expo 2013
Pro sound and performance from the electronic drum pioneers
Drum Expo 2013: A world leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of electronic drum kits, Roland have long been blazing a trail.
Our V-Drums range can be used by beginners, intermediate, semi pro and professional drummers alike and are played by some of the biggest bands in the world, adorning some of the biggest stages too.
The versatility of our V-Drums means you can use them anywhere (our Roland TD4-KP is designed to be portable), while enabling you to expand your set-up as you develop and create a world of new sound.
You can even mix them with your current acoustic set-up, using one of our drum modules, percussion sounds or even our Roland BT-1 trigger bar to create the ultimate hybrid drum kit, giving you an unforgettable drumming experience.
