Roland TD-02KV E-Drum Kit Live Set

V-Drums: The Most Popular E-Drums Worldwide

In 1997, V-Drums changed the drumming world forever—with stunning sounds and expressive playability that far outpaced any other electronic drum set of the time. Since then, we’ve never stopped innovating. With ever-new technologies and a growing product range for drummers of all levels, we remain pioneers in electronic drum kits. V-Drums are used daily at home, in studios, education, churches, and live stages—from small clubs to huge stadiums. Although the TD-02 series is especially affordable, it embodies proven V-Drums quality and delivers a top-notch drumming experience unmatched by any other beginner kit.

Drum Pads with Excellent Playability

Each TD-02 kit features a variety of drum pads with ultra-fast response, including a snare, three toms, and a space-saving kick pedal. The refined rubberized surfaces offer an ideal playing feel. Plus, the pads can be precisely angled via mounting clamps to suit your playing preferences.

PDX-8 Mesh-Head Snare

The TD-02KV kit includes a PDX-8 snare pad with a tension-adjustable Roland mesh head—just like the higher-end V-Drums pads. The stick feel and rebound mimic an acoustic snare, offering ambitious drummers a clear advantage. Dual trigger sensors support different articulations and rimshots, including cross-stick techniques.

Cymbal Pads with Authentic Feel

The crash and ride cymbals of the TD-02 kits deliver natural vibration with every strike. You can also perform chokes like on an acoustic cymbal by grabbing the edge. Both pads allow different sounds on bow and edge. The ride cymbal additionally supports crashes. The combination of hi-hat pad and controller pedal enables seamless transitions between open and closed cymbals, heel splashes, and other authentic pedal techniques.

Robust V-Drums Stands

Compared to other budget e-drums, the TD-02 series stands play in a league of their own, providing a sturdy and stable foundation for years of intense drumming. After playing, you can easily store the stand with mounted pads in a corner or closet.

Height Adjustability for Young Drummers

The tripod stand of the TD-02K adjusts easily in height—perfect for younger players. The TD-02KV stand has four legs and, with its more generous layout, more closely resembles an acoustic drum kit.

Drumming Without Disturbing Others

Electronic drums are much quieter than acoustic kits. This lets you play for longer periods without driving your family and neighbors crazy. Thanks to innovative noise reduction features found only in Roland kits, V-Drums are significantly quieter than other e-drum models.

Playing with Headphones

Once you plug your headphones into the sound module, you instantly immerse yourself in studio-quality sound. This makes drumming truly enjoyable. Even when playing at full force, outsiders only hear a faint percussive noise.

Hardware Design for Quiet Playing

While the sounds from the drum pads are well dampened indoors, the dull thud from pedal strokes can sometimes transmit through the floor to adjacent rooms. For this reason, the hi-hat and kick pedals of the TD-02 series feature special sound dampening to minimize transmission of incidental noise. If that’s still not enough, you can also place the pedals on our popular noise-eater solutions.

Inspiring Drum Sounds

The TD-02 module provides 16 ready-to-play kits based on the high-end V-Drums. The broad range of acoustic kits covers nearly every music style—from dry, natural drums to fat, polished studio kits and massive rock drums that sound like you’re playing on a concert stage. Modern electronic kits are also included, covering the drum sounds of most current hits.

Play Along with Music and Lesson Videos

Once you’ve worked on your basics, you’ll naturally want to apply them to real songs. With the TD-02 module’s stereo audio input, you can connect your smartphone or music player and play along with your favorite bands through headphones. This also lets you work through drum lesson videos online.

Develop Your Technique

Whether you’re self-taught or working with a drum teacher, Roland’s award-winning practice functions help you improve. The coach mode is your personal trainer for daily practice. It tracks your progress and offers tools to develop your groove, timing, and endurance. The metronome is always ready with various rhythm subdivisions, sound options, and an LED that blinks to the tempo.

Optional Wireless Expansion

A highlight of the TD-02 series is the ability to stream music wirelessly to the kit. Simply connect the optional BOSS Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adapter to the TD-02 sound module, pair your smartphone, and you’re ready to go. Stream songs wirelessly from your phone and listen through your headphones. Even better: you can play along with your favorite band, including your own.

USB Connection

The TD-02 module includes a USB audio/MIDI interface. It requires only a single cable connection, giving you countless creative possibilities on your computer and mobile devices.

Recording and Producing with Music Software

As you improve, you can fully realize your musical ambitions using audio/MIDI recording software and virtual instruments. Songwriters and music producers will find the TD-02 kits a compact and affordable solution for recording live drum tracks and MIDI data in the home studio.
