Roland TD-1KPX Portable, Foldable Electronic Drum Kit

Despite its minimal footprint and light weight, the TD-1KPX features a sturdy drum stand for rock-solid performance and Roland’s famous mesh-head V-Pads for snare and toms, giving natural rebound, feel, and playability. The innovative folding design allows the stand to be packed down in seconds for easy transport and storage without the need to remove the pads and cymbals.

Set up is ultra-easy, allowing the TD-1KPX to be played anywhere—home, live gig, or rehearsal studio. Simply add an acoustic kick pedal or V-Drums kick trigger pedal* and get playing!

The TD-1KPX’s innovative folding stand is durable, sturdy, and ultra-easy to set up. All you need is a dedicated drum tuning key and you’re ready to play in seconds. Simply unfold everything, adjust the stand and pad positions, attach an acoustic kick pedal (not supplied), and start drumming.

When you’ve finished your practice session or gig, the stand folds down quickly into a surprisingly condensed size for transport and stowing away at home in a corner, under a table, or in a closet. The folding stand can adapt to fit many spaces and situations, making the TD-1KPX a kit you can truly play anywhere.

The 8-inch PDX-8 and 6.5-inch PDX-6 mesh-head V-Pads feature Roland’s amazing dual-triggering technology, resulting in accurate and even sensing between the head and rim. On the PDX-8 snare pad, the rim area expands the pad diameter to 10 inches, allowing for comfortable and quiet rim-shots.

CY-5 cymbal pads are included for cymbals and hi-hat, which provide 10-inch playing surfaces and swinging movement for more drummer-friendly triggering and great playing feel. The cymbals also have separate bow and edge triggering for a true-to-life playing experience, while the hi-hats offer smooth tonal transitions from open to closed with subtle tonal changes.

Built into the TD-1KPX module is a wealth of enjoyable functions to encourage learning, no matter whether you’re teaching yourself to play, studying regularly with an instructor, or simply wanting to keep your skills in shape. Think of this kit as your own live-in drum teacher and personal backing band, packed with tutorial features that develop technique, boost motivation, and help you get the most out of practice time.

Play along with the onboard metronome to tighten your timing and use Coach mode to build and maintain speed, stamina, and accuracy. Get ready for your gigs or band rehearsals by jamming with the internal songs in the sound module, or connect a smartphone or music player via the Mix In jack and drum along with your favourite tunes. With the onboard recording function, you’ll get instant feedback on your progress.

The TD-1KPX is not just fun to play by itself—it’s also a great way to make music with your computer. Included is a built-in USB-MIDI interface, making it simple to communicate with music software via a USB cable, with no extra hardware needed.* Maybe you’ll transfer your playing into your computer-based recording software, capturing a live drum feel in your latest masterpiece.

Or perhaps you’ll use Roland’s free V-Drums Friend Jam series applications, which offer jam tracks, practice features, and the ability to compete with V-Drums users across the planet. Whatever application you choose, the TD-1KPX is a drum kit that lets you go places.
