I like your videos specifically for the assembly and setup: How to place the rack toms, images to show the orientation of the stands etc. As I advance to different kits, I notice these videos are reliably more useful than my written setup instructions. Much appreciated!

[Dmeekification]

One of the best videos I’ve seen on this kit!!! 👏🏻😉

[Musicasahobby-cre]

I remember the excitement of unboxing it, when i got mine last year. :)

If you open the high hat just a little bit and full open, is there a difference?
From to not so much sss?
Or is just closed "Tz" und oben "sss"?😅

The tom rims really blew me away. That's some next level engineering. However, I felt like the cymbal samples could use some work. Perhaps there is some settings or parameters to mess around with, but right out the box that was my first thought. Looks like a solid kit. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent playing, Great footwork and dynamics! Rock on dudes!

[tendingtropic]

so many boxes! haha and such a huge kick drum!

[andrewcutter]

I can only dream of owning one of these kits. Thanks for the great video.

[sanderaltamirano]

How much space do you need for this kit? I would love 2 know, in centimeter please

[GennaroOliva]

beautiful, can you tell me which camera you use for shooting from above and what is the name of the shaft that supports it? thank you

[richardbelisle]

Getting this kit for our studio....no more phasing issues ....

Does the module (27) for this 506 come with a snake cable ou individual ones? Tks!

[dannymason]

Is it possible to get the bell working on the 2nd (CY16) crash ?

[Michael-xwer]

Sounds very tasty especially the toms. Shame it's so darn expensive. E drums continue to evolve in the right direction.

[timhong]

I heard that this model is discontinued but is it still good comparing with current EFnote or Roland models?

[patomansvibration]

Nice drums, but why Roland decided to leave the hi hat, and snear stand and Bass peddle?

[TheFrancoprincipe]

One of these kids will be so God at my place .... 😁 Looking forward to getting one.

[aaronscarfe]

Hey guys loving the channel! Just a quick question please. What size was the drum mat were you using?

[Cantstandtherock]

I have one and the kick drum trigger was difficult to get right, you really need to play with the settings. And, the mountainous pile of cardboard was a pain. Look into Vexpressions drum sounds for these modules. Killer stuff! 🥁

Kit looks great with no drum rack. Racks are all well and good in certain setups, I don’t feel this is one of them. I’ve seen 506 setups using 2nd rack tom mounted as first floor tom, for 1 up 2down configuration . I Would like to see a double 14” floor tom kit option from Roland, I won’t hold my breath. Roland’s solution would be buy 2 506 complete kits from us and make whatever setup your heart
