PimpCo have become Roland's official drum wrap supplier for TD-20KX V Drums. All of which brings a new slant to the trend of hybrid kits which add electronic elements to acoustic kits - now you can have a full electronic set-up that looks just as good as an acoustic kit. Just take a look at this rather fetching black example of the partnership.
