Roland TD12
About TD12S:
Unparalleled Sound
The TD-12 drum module offers exceptional sound quality, comparable to the flagship TD-20, but at a more affordable price. It includes a wide range of expressive instruments and play-along sequences. The TD-12 features COSM modeling for realistic and expressive sounds, covering drums and cymbals. The module is housed in a durable metallic black chassis with a user-friendly interface, including a large icon-based LCD. It also provides twelve trigger inputs, four audio outputs, and MIDI I/O.
Unmatched V-Editing
The TD-12 offers a variety of expert-programmed kits, ranging from authentic acoustic sets to modern electronic flavors. But the customization options don’t end there. With V-Editing, you can personalize your snare drum, toms, bass drum, and cymbals. Adjust sizes, materials, add Sizzles to cymbals, enhance snare buzz, and more. The TD-12 supports positional sensing on the snare and ride, as well as on the toms when playing rimshots. It is also compatible with brush playing and features the Interval Control function for the snare and ride/crash/china cymbal, which naturally varies the sound based on stroke speed repetition.

About the TD12KX:
Enhanced Pads
The TD-12KX features upgraded kick and floor tom pads, using the larger KD-120 and PD-105 respectively. These larger pads not only provide a more substantial look but also offer a more natural feel and response. Each pad in the kit is equipped with Roland’s patented mesh drumhead, which can be tensioned using a standard drum key.
New Drum Rack
The MDS-12X drum rack has been redesigned to be both streamlined and solid. The addition of ball-clamp mounts for the snare, tom, and cymbal pads allows for more flexible positioning. Combined with the expanded pads, the new rack provides a more substantial and solid overall appearance.
TD-12 Drum Module
The TD-12 drum module delivers the same high-quality sound as the flagship TD-20X. It offers a wide range of expressive instruments and play-along sequences. Many of the sounds in the TD-12 are COSM modeled for realistic and expressive performance. The module features a large icon-based LCD and is housed in a durable gun-metal gray chassis. It also provides ten trigger inputs, four audio outputs, and MIDI I/O.
Enhanced V-Edit
Explore the numerous expert-programmed kits available on the TD-12, from authentic acoustic sets to cutting-edge electronic sounds. Take advantage of the enhanced V-Edit features to customize your drum set. Adjust sizes and materials, mic position, attach virtual Sizzles to cymbals, increase snare buzz, and more. The TD-12 supports positional sensing on the snare and ride, allowing for delicate nuances in each effect location. It is also compatible with brush playing and features the expressive Interval Control for the snare and cymbals, which naturally varies the sound based on stroke speed repetition.
