The brain of the TD-6KX is the TD-6V Percussion Sound Module. Sporting a stylish black look and cool blue LCD screen, the 64-voice module serves up 1,024 of Roland’s best drum and percussion sounds and 262 backing instruments, with drum kits and patterns in the latest music styles. Dual-trigger tom inputs allow for rim shots on the toms and expanded musical expression, while large, luminous buttons make the TD-6V easy to use.

The TD-6KX includes Roland’s popular PD-105BK 10" mesh V-Pad for the snare, featuring dual-trigger capability for playing separate head and rim sounds. Three PD-85BK 8" mesh V-pads for the toms offer a natural feel for more expressive play.

The majority of the TD-6KX’s pads and components mount conveniently onto the MDS-6C rack, including the three cymbal pads: a CY-8 and CY-12R/C (which enables separate bell triggering), and PD-8 Hi-Hat Pad. Thanks to the FD-8 Hi-Hat Controller, drummers can get more realistic hi-hat sounds with smooth transitions between open and closed.

Drummers will appreciate the TD-6KX’s upright KD-8 kick drum trigger. The vertical design not only gives drummers a better feel compared to reverse-type kick triggers, but it also reduces unwanted vibration, so you get nothing but solid kick sounds. And here’s more good news: The KD-8 can even accommodate double bass pedals!
