"Simply magnificent!"
I will probably have this kit for 2-3 years. I usually try new things every couple years, not because Im unsatisfied with the one I have, I just like to stay "up" on the new technology and the new looks, etc.. This kit seemed to be the best value because it cost me $100 more than the TD-3S and you get the PD-80R snare which is worth $240.00. So that alone makes it a great buy. What I like most about the kit overall is the PD-80R. It's a great feel, great sound, very accurate. What I like least is the Bass drum pad mount. Mine moves all over the place, but I dont have a thick carpet which is recommended by Roland. If I were to replace this kit, Id get the TD-6 tour or the TD-10.
Sound
The sound is great with this unit. While using headphones, the sounds are very expressive and the bass is nice and deep. I have an inexpensive amplifier, so the amplified sound is not as good as the phones. With the PM-10 or the PM-3 personal amplification system, this kit would rock. Another great thing about the sound is the many different ambience settings that are available. I recommend c3 for a hollow, concert-like sound.
Features
This kit came with everything you need to get started, even some velcro straps to handle the messy wires. I especially liked that the diagrams perfectly depicted the way the mounts should be positioned, etc. I'd say the most useful features of this kit are all of the coaching modes. I've been drumming… read more for about 12 years, and I thought my timing would be perfect, but alas, the coaching mode has helped me to improve my timing and stamina. Even a built-in metronome provides great support when working on these skills.
Quality
The product came in tip top shape, nothing bent, scratched, broken, blemished, etc. The kit goes together very easily and stays adjusted perfectly. Sometimes you see a softer metal used in the rods for the tom mounts, but these are solid, great for years of use and adjustments. The rack itself is a little unsturdy, probably due to it's plastic composition and a not-so-wide stance on the bottom, but the quality is still great for the money. The PD-80R dual trigger mesh snare is an amazing unit. The quality of this drum is incredible. Even the rim triggers perfectly, unlike some other brands mesh pads.
Value
Wow! A big, huge TEN on this category. I'll be a Roland fan for life. Some companies sacrafice the "wow" factor when manufacturing an "entry level" product, and Roland has thrown that out the window. This is an outstanding product for only $999 (with the PD-80R snare). And still a great the TD-3S kit at a little less money (without the PD-80R snare)
Manufacturer Support
While I havent had to personally contact the company, I have used their web site which really has all the support you need with your new drums. I have had no problems or repairs needed or anything like that.
The Wow Factor
Hmm.. tough category. This product doesnt have the flashy, multi colored, triple rack, bells and whistles that other, more expensive drums have. This set doesnt really have much sex appeal, but the instrument is meant to be played, not stared at. This would be a more suited category for a guitar or an acoustic drum set. Tough one, sorry I couldnt be more help.
