Roland proudly presents new V-Drums models: the TD-20KX and TD-4KX

A new sensation has hit stages and venues all over the world. No pop goddess or R&B babe in a miniskirt or cat suit, by the way: we are talking about the latest additions to the highly successful V-Drums series. The new flagship model is called TD-20KX. It replaces the TD-20K. Unlike its predecessor that was available in either black or white, the TD-20KX is all about silver and chrome. The V-Pad shells (snare drum and toms) and V-Kick (bass drum) sport a silver wrap with a distinctive brushed-metal look. Users in search of other colors can replace the shell wraps with red or blue brushed-metal versions. The drum rack and cymbal arms have a chrome coating, allowing drummers to add their own hi-hat and snare stands without anybody noticing. And wait for it: the new V-Cymbals (crash, ride and hi-hat) are also silver-colored. This flash new hardware controls the powerful TD-20X module, which now also contains all the sounds and features of the optional TDW-20 expansion board.

The slightly smaller but equally spectacular TD-4KX is a significant upgrade of the TD-4K. This entry-level kit combines the TD-4K’s versatility with a host of improved features, the most important of which being that the rubber tom pads have been replaced with mesh-head pads. The previous model only had a mesh-head snare pad. Needless to say that these improvements will enhance the response, feel and playing experience.
