Roland Drums & Percussion | Guitar Center

From triggers and pads to drum machines and full kits, cutting-edge percussion is a specialty of Roland’s. For over 40 years, the Roland brand has been seen gracing the biggest stages and the most respected studios worldwide. Even when a musician has never tried their products, Roland’s reputation usually precedes them. This section is the right place for hobbyists and pros alike to find unique and innovative options from Roland drums and percussion to enhance or upgrade their setup. The biggest challenge will likely be not getting carried away.

Are you an acoustic drummer who dreams about the versatility of electronic kits? If so, the Roland TM-2 Drum Trigger Module is for you. This handy accessory supports a wide variety of Roland triggers and pads on its dual inputs, so you can wire up your drums to create a hybrid kit with more sound possibilities. It even includes studio-quality multi-effects and you can add your own custom tones, loops and backing tracks with an SDHC card.

A great tool for electronic dance music performers, composers, and producers is Roland HandSonic HPD-20 Digital Hand Percussion Controller. The thirteen ultra-sensitive pads offer 850 ready-to-play sounds with a range of drum and sample options. You can even import your own library of sounds using the USB port and the controller has inputs to connect all your external MIDI instruments.

When you want a high-end set for hitting the stage, there’s the Roland TD-30KV V-Pro Series Electronic Drum Kit. This professional kit uses SuperNATURAL sounds and behavior modeling to produce the most accurate sounds for flams, rolls and ghost notes, while the advanced rim sensors detect rim shot depth like no other set. The 14″ kick pad delivers an acoustic-like feel and the drum rack is expertly balanced to keep your drums secure onstage and in the studio.

Of course, that’s only a taste of the huge selection Roland has to offer, and it’s a selection backed by a reputation for quality and innovation. Pros like Tony Royster Jr. (who plays with Jay-Z and Joe Jonas) and YouTube drumming sensation Meytal Cohen use Roland drums and percussion every day. In fact, you don’t even have to take their word for it; Roland’s drum gear speaks for itself.
