The TD-30KV is focused on quality so the newly developed PD pads are an essential ingredient to the TD-30KV structure. A new rim sensor has been specifically developed for the TD-30KV mesh head pads in conjunction with the TD-30 Drum Sound Module to accurately detect dynamics and rim-shot depth. The PD-128S-BC 12" is snare-stand mountable, while the tom pads can be dual-mounted for setup versatility.

For a full advanced playing experience the TD-30KV comes with 1x 12" snare, 2x 10" middle toms and 2x 12" large toms.

A new cymbal set has been designed to take advantage of the new advanced sensing technology and to get the best of the detailed superNatural technology sounds. The new VH-13-MG hi-hat has the most realistic cymbal feel and swing ever on a Roland kit. has taken into account not only the shape of the hi-hat, but also the bounce of the stick and even the movement caused by playing, making it possible to play with the same feel as an acoustic hi-hat. The new VH-13-MG features an improved motion sensor and advanced triggering technology for natural response with smoother open-to-closed control.

The new CY-14C-MG and CY-15R-MG cymbals take into account the balance, feel and swing of the real thing with accurate triggering and sensitivity across the entire cymbal surface.

The TD-30KV comes complete with the MDS-25 chrome-finished drum rack. The new rack provides rock-solid stability with an advanced weight-balanced design. New and improved mounts for cymbals and toms provide a highly flexible setup.
