HD-1: Beginner Drum Kit - V-Drums Lite

An All-In-One Drum Kit for the Masses

Features

Roland’s V-Drums are the most popular electronic drums in the world, but not everyone has the room or budget for a full V-Drums kit. Introducing the new Roland HD-1. It's forged from the same technology as its predecessors, but it's much simpler to use. It’s also incredibly quiet, thanks to the newly designed kick beater, cushioned tom pads, and snare head. The HD-1 is also conveniently compact and stylish — perfect for every home, school, studio, etc. — and it's priced for the masses. Most of the HD-1’s components are mounted on one stand for easy setup and transport, and for a clean look. Just take it out of the box and play.

• Easy set-up and operation
• Compact and stylish design
• Great sounds with a variety of kits
• Play along with your favourite music via the mix-input
• Built-in metronome helps you keep in time
