Description

Learning how to use your new Roland TD-20 or TD-12 has never been easier thanks to the official Roland DVD Owner's Manual!

Without a doubt, the new TD-20 is Roland’s best percussion sound module ever, offering the ultimate sonic quality, over 500 new sounds, plus superb expressiveness and dynamic range when used with the new PD-125BK/105BK V-Pads and VH-12 V-Hi-Hat. With the superior sensitivity, drummers can play more naturally and without having to adjust their playing technique. The TD-20 includes the ability to vary the rim shot and bass drum sounds depending on how you play, plus new interval control for better snare drum rolls and more realistic cymbal swells. Close your eyes. Listen to every articulation and sound being faithfully re-created until the moment your cymbal fades away, and you’ll swear this is a real acoustic set.

With the same pro-quality sound as the TD-20, the new TD-12 drum module provides hundreds of expressive instruments and play-along sequences in a streamlined, affordable package.

Take your TD-20 and TD-12 skills to the next level and pick up the official Roland DVD Tutorial today!

PLEASE NOTE! This DVD covers both units...The TD-20 and the TD-12 V-Drums.
