Roland V-Club Reviews2 Found On 2003-12-22, Eric gave this Roland Drum a 5...(7028)
Purchase: Purchased from Midwest Percussion for $1075.00.
Pros: The Hardware, pads, cymbals, clamps, are all excellent. They really hold up when using them live and in the studio. The TD-6 is also a good module but they could use some better snares. For the price it's amazing though. Im planning on upgrading the module to the TD-8 so i can have total customization over my sounds.
Cons: The Snare drum sounds. That's about it. It's really flawless.
Quality: Very good. The Kit really holds up during gigs. Summary: Bottom line, I love it. Of course i have an acoustic kit, but when you need to lay down a quick midi drum track it's amazing.

Purchase: Bought from BPM Music over their website. It cost $1069 with free shipping.
Pros: This unit is quite durable and has great versatility. The preprogrammed kits are nice, but many are not what I would use. But the best thing is that you can tweak any kit and change the snare, toms, etc. and also modify the room ambience (room size, wall construction - plaster, wood,glass, and get pretty decent effects with it. Not as good as outboard effects, but it does improve the sound a bit. Many different sounds to choose from. It also has songs you can play along with, and you can remove the drum part with the touch of a button. Cool sound effects, too. I like the thunder. Really makes people take notice!
Cons: Stand is not quite as sturdy as I would like, but is OK. The TD-6 module does not have as many lines out as a TD-8, so it cannot be mixed as easily. The relative dynamics are just what is setup internally, and you can't make the snare louder unless you do it in the internal settings.
Quality: It is made well and has held up well for the last year. The pads are solid. Very good quality. I play pretty hard at times and it doesn't move on me! Summary: Great deal for practice or home recording. I know some guys who use the V-Club for gigging and report that it does a great job. It is well worth the money and can be expanded and upgraded easily. I just added a mesh snare pad to mine and use the extra pad for another tom.
