The module is packed with an array of built-in coaching functions that track your technique, measure your progress and increase your motivation.

Roland PDX-12 V-Pad 12'' Snare Pad
The Roland PDX-12 V-Pad 12'' Snare Pad is a premium electronic snare pad from Roland, featuring a larger size and their renowned dual ply mesh head. The high quality materials and the newly designed rubber hoop provides an authentic feel that's much the same as hitting an acoustic drum. The pad is fitted with a dual ply mesh head which is tension adjustable and offers a natural rebound, resistance and stick feel. Also fitted is a low-height hoop which is similar to triple flanged hoops found on acoustic snares. Two independent sensors provide separate sounds to the head and rim, ensuring that the pad provides an authentic playing experience.
Dynamic Prismatic Sound Modeling for professional performance
The Roland TD-17 V-Drums Sound Module includes a wide array of 50 high quality preset kits that feature Roland's Prismatic Sound Modeling. This feature was first introduced in Roland's TD-50 series, their top of the range, flagship V-Drums kits. Prismatic Sound Modeling conveys every element of your performance in thrilling detail. The sounds accurately reproduce the character and tone you input in your playing style as if you were playing an acoustic kit, such as natural tone changes that vary depending on where you hit the pad or the cymbal and how hard you're playing. Combine this with Roland's high quality V-Drums trigger accuracy and you're guaranteed an expressive and resonant playing experience with incredibly authentic drum sounds and a playing feel to match.
Interactive improvement tools
The Roland TD-17 V-Drums Sound Module includes a wide variety of in-depth, easy-to-use training functions and interactive learning and improvement tools that encourage the development of both basic and demanding skills and make practice fun and productive. Players can work on time keeping with several Coach Mode exercises, build on stamina with daily exercise routines with the Warm-Up menu and capture progress and identify weak points that need working on with the onboard recorder. The TD-17 Module also features the integration with Melodics for V-Drums, a Windows/Mac application that provides a large selection of free drum lessons to work on rhythm, timing and muscle memory.
Direct bluetooth connection
The Roland TD-17 V-Drums Sound Module includes a rarely found feature in electronic drums, Bluetooth connectivity. This allows you to directly stream music to your V-Drums kit, letting you play along to your favourite sounds, as well as allowing you to rehearse songs you'll be playing live. The module features a handy holding slot for your smartphone. You can even record your performances and listen back to them, allowing you to identify where you need to improve.
