Finding the right drum kit is simple: just use the Phrase Preview function to hear a short demo for each kit. Each kit's sounds can be enhanced using 15 types of built-in Ambience effects and compression. And with Roland's enhanced Rhythm Coach onboard, drummers can improve their timing, speed and endurance using several rhythm-training exercises. The back of the module features nine trigger inputs, making it possible to add more pads like Roland's mesh PD-80R for snare.

Professional Feel at a Fraction of the Price
Thanks to Roland's latest pads and triggers, the TD-3Kit delivers ultra-realistic feel and expressiveness at a great price. The new KD-8 Kick Trigger Pad, for example, uses a vertical design to give drummers a more natural feel with minimal tremble and the ability to use double bass pedals. The new CY-8 Cymbal Pads support both edge and bow sounds with 'swinging' motion and choke capabilities, while the FD-8 Hi-Hat Controller delivers smooth hi-hat sounds from open to closed.

Roland TD3S V-Compact Electronic Drum Kit Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
The only bad thing is the crash 1 sounds. Everything else is pretty natural. Much better than Yamaha's dxtpress II and dtxplorer
Features
It would be better if it had a few more natural cymbal and tom's sounds but still... Otherwise you can adjust the sensitivity of each pad, its level, pan, volume curve so the set can perfectly match your requirements and can sound as a whole as you would like it. Unlike td-6 it does not have pitch control.
Value
This is the best kit for practising purposes.
