I watch for Nick.

The kit he’s playing doesn’t matter. He’s a great drummer

[padistedor]

I love the pads but the sounds aren’t much better than my TD10 from 1998.

[spishco]

Still sounds like Neal Peart's early solos with e-drums. C'mon Roland, it's 2021, can't we do better than this? These things aren't exactly "affordable".

[yourbuddykevin]

the drums sound the same like they did 20 years ago. Can we get some more realistic sounding drums in those modules???

[minisurfbanana]

other than being in a successful touring band as a drummer...you have the best job in the industry!!!

[ProgSnob]

I'm always expecting Nick to break into some Spock's Beard bits on these demos.

[mjmason]

With timing and chops like that, almost any drum kit would sound decent. I don’t even play drums, I play bass. I clicked on this video out of curiosity, but stayed for the drumming. Lol

[lightningjet]

The thing that always pisses me off about Roland kits is that the latest ones are exactly what electronic drums SHOULD be, yet it comes with an insane price tag.

[Drumrgal]

Unfortunately the toms still have the ‘machine gun sound’ after all these years and don’t sound acoustic. That’s why I use drum sample software Superior Drummer on my old TD 12 kit.

Thank you for an absolutely masterful objective review. Especially grateful you actually played the thing. These is a growing trend on YouTube where reviews of musical instruments and gear are largely spoken. That, to my mind, is completely pointless.

[yvesf]

Man Nick I love watching you play, buddy you Rock thanks

[Kcducttaper]

Seems just like the guitar multi-effects processors of the early 2000's. Lots of bells and whistles, but none that you would actually pull off at a gig. Guitar modelers are so good now that you can't even tell them apart from a real tube amp, yet here we are where an electronic kit can still be picked out immediately even before the second measure. I don't get it and I sure as heck don't get the price tag.

[hfranke]

A drummer who realy plays the instead of all the jazz-fuzzy drummers who just jabs with a loose wrist. Thanks!!!

[TheEleventeen]

Thank you Mr. Nick D’Virgilio for this wonderful presentation ! X🤘🏻X

[DavideGuerri]

i feel like drum plugins sound way better than electronic kits, these sound like they have 1 sample per velocity area, no round robins, which is what gives the real feel of sampled sounds

[a.b.bedinghaus]

Much better demo than Roland's. I'm looking forward to the TD50X upgrade to my TD50 module and the new VH14D hats. This kit is a great option if you want something super nice to practice on, have lots of options for sounds and not bother the neighbors. We have recorded some great demos with this kit.

[katycatjulius]

I have it's little brother (TD-50K2) and it's amazing 😀

[rgarcia]

Still has that machine gun like sound even after so many years. 0:18 - 0:21
