Roland TD4 Percussion Sounds Module

ROLAND TD4 Details ^top

• Wave-expanded sound module with 125 instruments and 25 kits
• Tuning and Muffling for the kick, snare and toms can be adjusted via the buttons and dial on the front panel
• Coach Mode with new exercises, such as Warm Ups and Tempo Check for building your accuracy and endurance
• Quick Rec function for recording your performance with just one button
• Mix In connector for playing along with external audio sources

Custom Controls
Drum sounds onboard the TD-4 can be customized to suit your personal style. Just like with a real acoustic drum set, the TD-4’s kick, snare, and toms can be tuned up or down quickly across a wide range. The amount of muffling can be user-customized as well, from ‘70s-style choked funk to open-cannon stadium rock.

Coach Mode
The TD-4 is equipped with Roland’s acclaimed Coach Mode, which helps you build speed, stamina and accuracy. Five skill-building exercises are onboard, including the new Warm Ups that lets you practice different exercises consecutively for 5, 10, or 15 minutes. The new Tempo Check also helps you keep consistent time by lowering the metronome volume when you are playing accurately or vice versa, and raising the click volume when you are playing out of time

Quick REC
The TD-4’s "Quick REC” feature allows you to immediately record and play back your performance. It’s a great tool for listening objectively to what you’ve played, and charting your progress. And don’t forget the TD-4’s built-in metronome for keeping yourself in time. If you record with the internal metronome on, the TD-4 can even evaluate your accuracy afterward during playback.

My first venture into digi-drums and so far......very impressed! Only took about 15 minutes to set up....sounds are awesome and easy to find....especially the ARENA setting.....wicked! Tuning and muffling are an asset....as is cymbal choking capability......I couldn't imagine them standing up to a world tour or anyting but for rockin' around my basement?....They got it! Great little kit for the money.....I wouldn't hesitate!!
