Roland TD-07KX Kit Electronic Drum Kit

The Next Step in the TD-07 Series, with Larger Snare and Toms plus a Second Crash Cymbal

For drumming without limits, the TD-07KX offers larger pads and the highest cymbal count in Roland’s TD-07 V-Drums series—giving great value and extended creative capabilities. The 12-inch PDX-12 snare and 8-inch PDX-8 toms provide the platform to push your drum technique, backed by the unbeatable response of our original ultra-quiet, double-ply mesh heads. Meanwhile, a total of three CY-8 cymbals plus a dedicated kick pad enable new levels of expression.

With the foundation of the powerful TD-07 sound module, the TD-07KX goes far beyond traditional drums, offering authentic drum kits across a vast range of styles and genres, plus deep tone editing to customize them. There’s also a Coach function for building skills, Bluetooth® connectivity with smartphones, tablets, and computers for streaming audio to the sound module, and a one-cable USB connection for recording in computer-based music production software.

Authentic V-Drums Performance

For more than twenty years, Roland V-Drums have earned a reputation as the industry’s favorite digital drum kits, sounding and playing better than anything else. Imitated but never matched, V-Drums offer you an incredibly lifelike recreation of a traditional acoustic kit in an electronic format, along with technology and features not found anywhere else. Now, the TD-07KX continues this legacy, adding larger snare and tom pads and a second crash cymbal over the entry-level TD-07 series kits, expanding your sonic palette and playing options.

Sound as Real as It Gets

At the heart of any great electronic drum set is a powerful, fast-processing sound module—and the TD-07 is the perfect match for the upgraded hardware of your TD-07KX kit. Take your pick from a library of acoustic drums, electronic drums, and percussion types, all captured in precise detail in top recording studios and brought to life with advanced V-Drums technologies to react just like acoustic instruments when you play them.

Start Drumming in Seconds—or Go Deeper

Setting up in seconds and packed with ready-to-play preset kits, the TD-07 is always ready for an impromptu session. But when you’re ready to explore, a vast drum library awaits within the module. Test-drive snares and toms, max out kick drums, or set the size of your crashes and rides. Then go further by tuning the drums, adding damping, and changing how the kit sounds when played in a variety of physical spaces. For the final touch, tweak the module’s individual EQs to shape the drums to your musical situation, just like a pro sound engineer would.

As Quiet—Or as Loud—as You Like

Acoustic drum kits are unavoidably loud, and even lesser electronic kits can be impractical due to the contact noise of sticks on pads. But thanks to Roland’s decades of R&D, the TD-07KX is designed to be much quieter. Hit our mesh heads as hard as you like and enjoy authentic stick rebound with minimal pad noise. Trust in the kick pad’s special damping to cut noise and vibration while retaining a satisfying, natural feel. Even the stand is designed and constructed to reduce vibration and noise transfer to the floor, and there’s a range of optional products available if further noise-banishing is needed.

Acoustic Tone That Feels Alive

Strike the pads of some digital kits and you’ll hear a series of static drum tones with none of the dynamic response that makes playing an acoustic drum so satisfying. The TD-07KX’s pads and cymbals are a different class, working with the module to provide a rich and reactive array of tonal colors that truly reflect your drumming. With their larger playing surfaces, the TD-07KX’s drum and cymbal pads have advanced precision sensors, capturing every hit, stroke, roll, flam, cymbal choke and ghost note, then relaying them with latency-free accuracy. Even better, this technology never gets in the way of the music—so just sit back, start playing, and let the magic happen.

Roland’s Industry-Standard Mesh-Head Pads

Roland changed electronic drums forever with the launch of the world’s first mesh drumheads in 1997, and we’ve been sharpening our technology ever since. Our unique double-layer mesh design offers natural stick resistance and rebound that evokes your favorite acoustic kit, along with the ability to adjust the head’s tension using a standard drum key. You’ll only get that hugely satisfying playing feel and sensing speed with a Roland mesh head. And once you’ve experienced it, you won’t want to play anything else.

A Stand and Hardware That Works as Hard as You Do

When you’re playing a full-throttle beat, it’s essential to have a drum stand that remains stable and pads that hold their position. Using only the strongest materials and best-quality components, the TD-07KX provides rock-solid hardware that’s as dependable as your enthusiasm to play. The custom drum stand gives a firm and steady foundation you can rely on, backed by precision clamps that lock every component in position for the whole set. Play the TD-07KX as hard as the music demands, and trust in a kit that will serve you for years to come.

Stream and Jam with Your Favorite Songs Using Bluetooth

You’re never alone with the TD-07KX, thanks to Bluetooth technology. For instant jams with your favorite music and bands, simply choose a song on your phone, tablet, or computer, then wirelessly stream audio through the sound module and get drumming. For playing along with online songs and lessons, you can transmit video sound too. And if your device doesn’t have Bluetooth, just connect it with a stereo audio cable. MIDI over Bluetooth is also supported for cable-free recording of MIDI data in music apps.
