The Roland TD-17 Sound Module offers plenty of digital advantages to improve your drumming skills. It features a sound engine inherited from the flagship TD-50, for pro-quality expressive drum sounds that can faithfully reproduce the playability of acoustic drums. An array of built-in coaching functions will track your technique, measure your progress and increase your motivation. You can play along with your favorite tunes or watch online drum lessons while listening to the audio wirelessly - pairing your smartphone with the TD-17 via Bluetooth, which makes your daily practicing fun. With a host of interactive drumming features, the TD-17 module can help you to become a better drummer, faster.
The Roland TD-17’s sound engine delivers a superior drumming experience thanks to Prismatic Sound Modeling technology, inherited from the flagship TD-50 sound module. Begin playing and you’ll notice a wider dynamic range and dramatic tonal changes, depending on where and how hard you strike the pad. From rim shots, rolls, flams, and ghost notes on the snare to dramatic crash hits, sustained cymbal swells, and half-open position on the hi-hats along with different sounds for the bow and edge, every nuance is detailed, accurate, and ultra-smooth.
