I've been a lifetime drummer and have always played acoustic kits in all sizes. This kit has me very interested in electric setup,ones that I have checked out I found I can do twice the speed with half the effort. The head response is incredible.

3:40 that double kick is amazing

It seems that machine-gunning edrums are some of most precious memories of the 20th century that Roland decided to preserve and pass on to our grand-grand children. The same league as the Beatles and the Moon landing.

Still has that synthetic attack sound that cheap electronic kits have. Damn! Wanted to love it

I don’t even play drums wtf am I doing here

This guy could be hitting pancakes it would still sound great

Thank you Thomas my drum brother!! My wife purchased this kit for me on Father’s Day,.. and I need to here the capabilities of this kit being that I am a drummer for many years and want to practice WHENEVER I WANT and at WHATEVER TIME!! Thank you for the demonstration!! I’m about to rock out!! ✊🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🎼💯🥁

Yesss!!! Close your eyes lady’s and gentlemen and you can hear a real authentic Roland td12.

I watched him in my country when he came for drum seminar..at 2006 He looked like a ‘Big Metal Machine’ and I don’t want to be convinced that he’s getting old.

I have this kit and TRUST ME it sounds better than this video portrays. It takes some fine tuning (on the snare especially) but mine sounds extremely realistic.

Glad to finally see a reviewer with proper double bass drums skills!

I have an old Roland drum kit from like 2008 and it pretty much has all the exact same features

Thomas Lang could make pots and pans sounds good.....

Thomas lang is such a fun and talented(versatile) drummer and these drums sound great. I just ordered a set cuz I can't play my acoustic kit where I live. Finally I can play them like he does cuz when I tried them in the store and really started getting into it, they told me I was gonna have a heart attack 😆🤣 great video and playing 😎👍👏

He’s simply too good for those drums. He proved there no match for the real thing. They made a mistake having this master test them.

When a legend plays an instrument obviously it's gonna sound fantabulous....

It's 2020 and roland can't make a sound module that doesnt "machine gun." It sounds essentially like my TD 11 module that's over 10 years old. I just dont understand!

Sound samples remind me the ones I used to play on keyboards. I'm talking about the 90's keyboards.

HAHAHAHA I spat out my drink laughing because of the joke "Affordable price"

All the guys complaining about the sound - check out Drum-Tec, they are doing samples for every Roland sound module which include a lot of real acoustic sets. They just sound amazing, I use one with my TD-17 and its a completely different experience compared to the standard sounds! They also have videos with sound samples on KZfaq aus well.

I love Roland hardware. I am just waiting for Roland to install Superior Drummer or anything more natural-sounding into their module then its game over. Sign me up!

Crazy how good electric drums are now compared to the 90s

The garage band drums sets on my I Pad sound even better then this .

Everyone harping on the sound of the drum module..I own the TD-27KV and I love it. If you really take the time to dial in the sounds and mix it to your liking, you can get some really impressive results. Get in there and have fun!

A '92 IROC-Z with brand new Pirelli tires...is still a '92 IROC-Z. Almost 25 years since the TD-10 and Roland still ain't figured it out. #RatTatTatTatTat

Needs more cowbell.

Just by a used Roland, Yamaha kit (you can find them for around $500) and trigger Addictive Drums or Superior Drummer. REAL drum samples that sound incredible. More than a few great albums I know of have been recorded using that software.

Easily one of the most underrated drummer

Great drumming

Mind blowing how out of touch Roland are with the actual sounds

Thomas great as always - greets from Frankfurt (we had a nice dinner at "Das Leben ist schön")

This guy sounds THAT good on this set. Imagine how he would sound on a set that actually sounds GOOD...

Tom Lang he is the greatest of all time

great, I already have the drums, now I just need to learn to play like Thomas Lang lol

The gentleman is an excellent player nice electric drum kit to

This is the savior for all drummers who doesn't want to piss their neighbors off xD

For 2020 , this sounds weak.

I remember being at a Thomas Lang drum clinic and he said that Roland drums caused him wrist problems.

Honestly, the sound should be the least of your worries. Any built-in sound presets can't beat EZdrummer anyway, not even Roland VAD-706 module in my opinion. You can't really get anything better than Roland TD-27KV in that price range. It's not even a discussion, it's a fact. Roland is just far ahead of the competition. That's not just my opinion - every drummer will tell you the same.

Dude is sick w that double bass...

Affordable? Wow. 3000€ used to be the flagship.

Thomas is beating those drums hard... like a red headed step Child

not only the talk but thus guy have the skills.

Thomas Lang is one of the most under rated drummers out there. And what Roland did was make the e-kit more compact and streamlined. Stop ragging on Roland. It’s a good strong company with a solid product. Alexa has really stepped its game up, check those e- kits out. Ekits have their purpose. And nothing compares to a true acoustic drum kit, but how many times do the cops have to knock on your door, or place of worship. Just sayin \m/

Thomas is the perfect drummer for exposing TD27s machine gun sounds. Why on earth did Roland choose him to do the presentation?

Great drummer... but the sound? Awful!

Com um dos melhores BATERISTAS do Mundo fica fácil fazer um Marketing de sucesso.

Awesome video. Awesome play set, both the drums and you playing. Kudos

NEW CASIO DRUMS BY ROLAND

Great Drummer. Now can we put him on a Good sounding kit 🙂

My dream kit...!!!

love to listen to this drummer. He is a legend.

I like the kit and all the pads. I just wished Roland would move into Present Time and allow full VST integration into the Module. So many great companies making good drum sounds out there. Not just sample import but full VST into the module, who wants samples with no dynamics? Most people will plug this into a laptop and use software. Roland kits do last forever and they are very reliable live and in studio.

Save your tons of bucks. Buy the cheapest possible electronic drumkit and connect it to Superior Drummer 3.

Wonderful! And this man... One of the very best drummers in the world!

nice kit i hope i can buy that in the future

I have this kit and hardware/brain module wise, its freaking OUTSTANDING. Simply the best E-Kit you can buy imo. Absolutely love it. The triggering and nuance is near perfect. BUT.......... The included sample kits are terrible! Roland really needs to let a "drummer" design/pick the pre-installed kits included because they weren't even close to anything useful or sound nice imo. Even just one kit in there, just as a standard, crisp generic drum kit off the music shop showroom floor would even suffice?!?! I immediately went in and designed my own setup, which yes, you would or should do anyway and yes, the module has some great sounding various instruments and I've been able to craft some great sounding kits I love. But again, its biggest downfall is the quality and variety of kit/instrument variations. It may have over 700 sounds, but heaps in there are "filler" garbage that I'll never use (yes, you need sounds in there to satisfy all musical influences, fair enough). Anyways, it sux's to have a "ranty" comment, as I immensely enjoy and love my TD27, I've even upgraded the Bass drum to an acoustic type for better presence (but still using the KD10) and used other acoustic elements to build a hybrid kit. So if Roland somehow see's this ....... outstanding kit, but give us some better kit samples in future firmware updates please? We pay a hefty sum for these kits, I think we deserve it?

I''ve always been confused by electric drums in 2020 that have not integrated drum software like superior drummer that has been around for soo long, or at least used their money to develop their own decent sounds. I had an older Roland a few years back. It seems like the sounds have actually been getting worse, not better. Either way. The key to playing electronic drum sets is to not play soo many notes. you need to use loose phrasing. Lang wasn't the best guy to demonstrate this lol. Also, even though the stock drum sounds are bad, they sound better with other instruments in the mix.

Thomas is such a beast

Un genio total Thomas Lang.....

Thomas Lang not included.

This is so wrong, turns out the drums can’t turn me into Thomas Lang 😭😭

Maaaaaan he was fOnkin' them drumZ UP

Id listen to Thomas' techno album of drums!

Thomas Lang. A dude who can play everything Mangini can play and doesn't have to upload a 10 minute video to his channel explaining a 1 second drum fill..

It's 2020 and electric drums and when it comes to the acoustic drums imitation, they still suck

Roland TD27KV + Superior Drummer 3 👍

Drummer is extraordinary talented

Wow, HORRIBLE sounds. I am sticking to my acoustic kit until something decent and fairly priced comes out. Sorry nieghbors!

Like everyone else is saying, the toms are the worse part of this kit, also the kick has no variation which makes it sound like a robot.

This is the greatest drums I’ve ever seen

I loved him in Inglorious Bastards

Roland drums/hardware with Yamaha sounds... please.

This is the best thing Roland can produce for 2020... Thin cheesy drum sounds? No Thanks....

I don’t play drums but I love listening to top quality drummers like Phil Collins. This guy is a very good drummer but his review is so full of jargon that drummers would understand, it is incomprehensible to me.

Dam!!!!!! Beautiful sound. Wish I had one

You perfectly displayed the weekness of all electronic kits, played fast they sound horrible, with the exact same tone and trigger speed the repeated sound sounds like a machine.. great for practice but horrible for live.

Sorry Tom not buyin, sounds scripted.

very nice sound!

3:40 heard, went, came back x 20 the metal kit sounds the best

Looks and sounds great! Except for the tom sounds... how can they still sound so bad (especially in the metal kit)

Come on! Nobody hears how bad this sounds???

This is so cool - back to the 80s!!!!!

Thanks for the detailed info. Will definitely purchase one of this in the future 😃😁👍🔥🔥🇻🇺🇻🇺🇻🇺

You know your kit is bad if even Thomas Lang can't make it sound good

Give me a regular drum set anyday. This sounds like tin cans & empty pails. LOL

Such a good video, very informative and pleasant to watch

I still play my DDrum 3 and love the Fat Killer Sounds!

There are some nice features here; I'll give them that. The 14" snare and 18" ride look really nice. However, I have 3 criticisms right off the bat: 1st, the bass drum pad is super weak. It is not in keeping with the quality of the other pads. It practically fell over under Thomas' feet. There needs to be a bass pad closer to the design of TD30KV or TD50KV. Maybe not exactly the same, but closer. The head should be similar to the tom and snare pad with at least a 12" diameter. 2nd, there needs to be a bigger floor tom pad. No smaller than 12" should be accepted. 3rd, the sound. I see other people commenting on this. Very dated. I love 80s New Wave music as much as the next guy; but we need improvement here. I know why these things are not included: marketing. Roland always leaves the player wanting more at the lower price points. They never offer a kit for reasonable money without the player wishing for upgrades. So, in order to get all the things you need for an acceptable playing experience, you have to fork out 8K for the flagship. Frustrating.

That bass drum pad is moving around a lot while he plays. Could be very distracting.

Saweet I. Was asked to set up and play this kit with my good friend.

Thomas Lang is not human

Acoustic drum set- 1 Electronic drum set- 0 ALL day long.

Hmmm. The comments about the drums sounding like an 80's e-kit are true. I'm disappointed with the sounds.

Dude! you are awesome!

You are the best man!

I'd say generally we're all disappointed sorry Roland

Doesn't sound like much of an improvement from the kits I was playing 10 years ago. The tech is cool but it still translates in a way that's just as sterile as the much older mesh head kits. You really need to bring some life into the cymbals too, I can't believe at the price this commands you can't introduce a lot more organic nuance in the hats.

Sounds like a Popcorn Machine!!!

I don’t play drums but I WANT THEM!!!
