The Roland TD-17KVS lets your technique shine through, backed up with training tools to push you further. Combining a TD-50-class sound engine with newly developed pads results in a more affordable electronic drum kit with a similar feel and response as playing acoustic drums – accurately mirroring the physical movement, stick coordination and hand/foot control that every drummer needs.

The TD-17KVS includes a Coach Mode to support your development as a drummer. You can warm up, develop your playing and sense of groove, tempo and timing, and even improve your stamina – all with a score that shows you how you’re doing.

You can use the same playing techniques you’d use on an acoustic kit, without compromise, thanks to the large 12-inch snare. And being based on the flagship TD-50 sound engine, the sounds faithfully reproduce the character and tone of acoustic drums, with lightning fast response time.
