This IS the best value (not cheapest, but value) set Roland had in a few generations of sets. And the first post is wrong, no WAY this goes for $1,300 on marketplace. As a $3,500 retail set and with most people not following SD, this set is going to be close to $2,599 well used.

I have it and highly recommend it if you know you'll use it. If you don't know, maybe buy an Alesis Nitro Mesh first.

Yep, you don't get it. Sounding good and feeling good while you play/practice matters, because you will end up playing more. Being able to play at any hour and not bother people matters, because you will end up playing more. 🙂 And as others have mentioned, these will barely lose value to resell. Honestly, these are a total no brainer if you can afford them and want to encourage yourself to play more. Extremely low risk.

I wish. I would love a set like this to replace my cheap Simmons. Always watching Craigslist and FBM but even well used these are always 2k+ and go fast. This seems like a solid deal for someone with the money.

Word to the wise, every time they run this deal, it has been a one day only event, so if you snooze, you lose. it's the best e-kit bang for the buck going today. this kit has all the latest tech, including digital hi-hat, digital ride, and digital snare.

This level of e-kit isn't something the average person would buy on a whim; you would have to be a serious drummer to buy this kit. And the resale value will remain solid for several years given the sale price.

I almost bit on a digital set a few months ago but held back and I'm glad I did. These are not designed for live shows. Can you sound kick ass using one. Heck yea. However breakdown, setup, and transport of this is a mess. Also.. It just doesn't look cool. Lol

This kit is either for home recording or practice kit. Why spend $3k on a practice kit? I just don't get it. I'm sure someone is going to respond and tell me they use it live all the time or record amazing demos on it. Great. You are 2% of the people who own these...

I ended up getting a pair of in-ears and muffling the crap out of my kit so I can play along with songs in my basement. Not quiet enough when kids sleeping... But I have a few pads for that...

Maybe this is something apartment dwellers like... But again... Why spend so much for practice...

Maybe I'm missing something... Don't get me wrong they sound amazing. Love the tech... But also remember... You will be upgrading this thing again and again over the years. New technology for pads, cymbals, and new "head units". I see it as a never ending cost.

Oh is this a good deal? Yes the price is solid for this unit. If you are in the market for this. Pull the trigger. You won't see if new for less for a while...

Lots of debate on e-kit vs. acoustic. Not sure I agree with ease of transport and using them live. This kit would be way less effort IMO to move around vs. an acoustic kit. Think about the weight and mass of acoustic bass drum(s), floor tom(s), cymbals, and all the beefy hardware to support them. And with an e-kit, you don't need mic's or tuning. I agree with the "they don't look cool". Roland tries to address that with their VAD kits, but you still can't compare the look and feel of real cymbals shimmering under stage lights to the Roland black rubber flying saucers, lol. As Corey mentioned, the ability to play 24x7 is priceless. Sometimes I get the itch to play after a few beers late at night, and with an e-kit you can have at it while everyone else is sound asleep! And you have a gazillion sounds at your fingertips, plus the ability to trigger external samples/VST's, and metronome/practice tools.

Anyway, I get your concerns and I've waffled back and forth with e-kit vs. acoustic over the years. In a perfect world, drummers should have both.

I have a Roland TD-27KV2, a Simmons Titan 50, a PDP acoustic kit, and a custom maple shell acoustic kit from Scott Rockenfield, and I'm still torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool... lol.

I bought one of these for my church and this is a very good kit. I never like electric kits because the snare and hihats felt and responded fake. They feel real on this one, rim shots, smooth gradual opening of the hats, everything. The ride is only 4/5 for me but everything else is awesome.

You will need your own hi-hat stand, snare stand, bass drum pedal, and drum throne. They're not included with the kit.

Roland e-drums hold their value amazingly well...especially when you buy current generation drums that have been refreshed recently, like this one. Anyone waiting for a better deal on these used will only save a few hundred bucks for a kit that will usually be beat to hell.

Just ordered this set.

What's a decent pedal, HH stand, Snare Stand and throne for this?

Just want to buy something that's reasonably priced and good quality.

TIA

I got the Gen 1 with DW5000 hardwares for $1700 couple years ago.

The hihat is its weakest link, but Gen 2 fixed that with the digital hihat.

not to discourage your purchase, but this kit is overkill for a beginner drummer. Electronic drumkit lose their value really quick because electronics get better over time. Any beginner would've been more than fine with a TD 17KVX2.

Roc N Soc nitro throne (with backrest for me), and Yamaha HS700 series hi hat/snare stand should be fine for you, but don't cheap out on the throne and use a chair. You don't need heavy duty hi hat/snare stand if you're not gonna be gigging

best e-kit for an experienced drummer who wants to try e-drums. For a beginner drummer, it's overkill and a TD 17KVX2 should be more than enough for years.
