V-EDIT (TD-20/12)
Build Your Kit From the Ground Up
If you’ve never experienced the power and user-friendliness of
Roland’s V-Editing, you’re in for an incredibly pleasant
surprise. The TD-20 and TD-12’s visual, icon-driven editing
screens make it dead simple to create your own kits from
scratch. Thanks to powerful COSM modeling technology, you
can choose the shell material for the drums, the shell
dimensions, the head types, snare-buzz amount, the amount
of muffling, kick-drum beater type, the size of the cymbals,
microphone positions, and more!
Build your own snare drum with COSM
®
-modeled shell material, such as wood,
brass, and steel. The depth of the kick and toms can also be changed.
Add a “doughnut-style” muffler on the snare or a weight-type muffler on the bass
drum. The snare strainer can also be adjusted.
Here you can change the size of your cymbal from 1 inch to 40 inches.
Choose the placement of your virtual microphones. *Only possible on the TD-20.

*Only possible on the TD-20.

amount of buzz* (the resonance created on the tom and bass drum) can be
varied to get just the right effect. *Adjustment of buzz amount is possible only on the TD-20.
*The TD-12 can only switch the buzz on and off.

Roland V-Drums Innovation File No.01
Essential V-Drum Elements
In making the world’s finest electronic drum kits, Roland has mastered
these key performance elements: comfort, pinpoint accuracy,
full-spectrum sensitivity, realistic positional control, and stunning sound
quality. In harmony, these elements combine to create the world-famous
V-Drums experience.
Unmatched Power, Articulation, & Sensitivity
The V-Drums magic begins with the location and strength of the stick on
the pad, as well as the intervals of the strokes. From weak to strong,
from the center of the pad to the edge, from single-shots to rolls, your
performance data is translated with lightning-fast accuracy by the
V-Drums’ central processor.
*Detection of hitting position and interval is only possible on the TD-20/12
Beyond Specs —
Tapping Into the Intangible
Memory size and sampling rate alone do not determine the actual
sound quality of an electronic musical instrument. Roland looks at
sound quality on a higher level. In addition to pristine audio capture
and modeling, we believe that the quality of source instrument, the skill
of the sampling-session player, the quality of the studio and recording
equipment, and many other intangible factors add up to give V-Drums
an unbeatable edge.
