  • Sound Engine: Equipped with sounds inspired by Roland's flagship V-Drums modules, offering expressive and dynamic drum and percussion sounds.
  • 25 Preset Kits / 25 User Kits: A good selection of factory kits covering various genres, plus ample space to create and save your own custom kits.

  • Deep Editing Tools: Allows for significant customization, including tuning, muffling, EQ, ambience, and 30 multi-effects to craft your desired sounds.
  • Coach Functions: Integrated tools like Time Check, Quiet Count, and Change-up to help build timing skills and track progress.
  • Metronome: Advanced metronome with adjustable tempo, rhythm types, and sounds.
  • Bluetooth Connectivity: Stream audio wirelessly from smartphones, tablets, or computers for playing along with music or online lessons. It also supports MIDI over Bluetooth Low Energy.
  • USB Audio/MIDI: Connects to a computer via a single USB cable for recording stereo audio and MIDI data directly into music production software.
• Pads (Key Upgrades and Enhanced Playability):
  • Snare: PDX-12 (12-inch dual-mesh head pad): A significant upgrade, offering a larger playing surface, excellent rebound, and realistic feel. Its dual-zone (head and rim) triggering allows for expressive rimshots and cross-sticking.
  • Tom 1, 2, 3: PDX-8 (8-inch dual-mesh head pads): Provide a natural stick response, quiet operation, and dual-zone triggering for head and rim sounds on all three toms.
  • Kick: KD-10 (kick trigger pad): A sturdy, freestanding kick pad that provides realistic rebound and feel while effectively minimizing noise and vibration, accommodating single or double bass drum pedals (pedal sold separately).
  • Hi-Hat: VH-10 V-Hi-Hat (10-inch floating hi-hat): This is a major upgrade. It mounts on a standard acoustic hi-hat stand (not included) and provides natural motion, realistic rebound, and seamless open-to-closed transitions with bow/edge triggering, closely mimicking an acoustic hi-hat.
  • Crash: CY-12C-BK (12-inch cymbal pad): Offers choke support and a larger playing surface for more expressive crash cymbal dynamics.
  • Ride: CY-13R-BK (13-inch cymbal pad): The largest ride cymbal in the TD-07 series, featuring choke support and three-way triggering (bow, bell, and edge) for maximum expression.
• Drum Stand: Four-post metal drum rack stand (often MDS-4KVX or MDS-COMPACT depending on region/bundle). It's designed for stability and robust performance, allowing for flexible and comfortable pad placement.
• Quiet Operation: The combination of double-ply mesh heads, the beaterless KD-10 kick pad, and the low-noise VH-10 hi-hat provides a very quiet acoustic footprint, ideal for home practice.
• Included: Sound module mount, AC adapter, special connection cable, drum key, setup guide. (Note: Acoustic hi-hat stand, kick drum pedal, drum throne, and drumsticks are NOT included and must be purchased separately).
• Learning Tools: Includes access to Melodics for V-Drums software (40 free lessons) to help develop drumming fundamentals.

The Roland TD-07KVX stands out in its price range by offering premium features like the VH-10 floating hi-hat and larger, expressive cymbal pads, combined with the capable TD-07 module. It's a fantastic option for drummers who prioritize realistic playability and a wide range of sounds in a durable and relatively quiet electronic drum kit.
