Roland has announced a new electronic drum kit at this year’s NAMM. Roland has taken more steps to make these digital drums look, act and sound more like real drums. There is also a new USB port so you can load .mp3s onto a jump drive and play along with your favorite tracks. This would be great for loading up upcoming song sets to practice with.

We use digital drums for our youth room and for mobile applications like off site conferences and retreats. We have last years model of Roland’s digital drums. They could work in a main service setting but most musicians and drummers will prefer real drums. Digital drums work great in small rooms and acoustics sets work well in big rooms.

Here’s a quick video overview from Roland:

For over a decade, Roland’s revolutionary V-Drums have lead the industry in expressive sound quality and incredible playability. With the introduction of the SuperNATURAL-powered TD-30KV V-Pro Series, the electronic drum set reaches a new pinnacle in drumming performance. SuperNATURAL sounds with Behavior Modeling, along with advanced sensing technology, provides a new level of expressive sound quality and playability, resulting in an instrument that reacts and responds to all the subtleties, nuances, and dynamics of a drummer’s technique. In addition, USB audio-playback functionality has been added to expand the performance palette. For the stage or for professional recording, the new V-Pro is truly a complete and natural drumming experience.
