As the heart of the Roland TD-50K and TD-50KV drum sets, the TD-50 sound module is packed with the latest innovations from the Roland sound forge. With a huge selection of drum and percussion sounds of all styles, countless editing options and convenient connections, the TD-50 presents itself as a perfect tool for professional applications, whether in the studio or on the stage. The production of the sound is based on the newly developed Prismatic Sound Modeling and allows unprecedented dynamics and expressive power and first-class, error-free performance. Exclusive extra: Music Store customers receive a free Simon Phillips soundpack on SD card with high quality drum samples, recorded by the ex-Toto drummer himself!
The TD-50 sound module is the first of the Roland family to feature Prismatic Sound Modeling. This technology allows a new level of dynamics and expressiveness, as the TD-50 module is capable of interpreting and implementing every nuance of your performance. Combined with the TD-50 series of digital drum pads, the TD-50's high-resolution processor offers outstanding results unrivaled in the e-drum market.
The gigantic internal sound database of the TD-50 sound module offers high-quality sounds and samples for every taste and for every conceivable situation. The TD-50 also offers the possibility to work with your own samples in WAV format. An SD card slot is available for this purpose. There are no limits to creative expression from a technical point of view. The device is complemented with effects and compressors, which can also be assigned individually for each channel. The Snap Shot feature is completely new and allows you to compare your sound settings quickly, without having to search through menus and submenus.
As an exclusive extra for Music Store customers, the TD-50 sound module comes with an extra sound pack on SD card with high quality drum samples, created and recorded by ex-Toto drummer Simon Phillips himself. The high-resolution samples offer tremendous dynamics and are not to be surpassed in sound quality and expressive power. With these features, the Simon Phillips samples are a great addition to the module's internal sounds, enriching the TD-50's sound offerings. In addition to the two Simon Phillips drum kits you will find two more kits on the SD card. This is a synth kit and a kit with drums from the 80s. There are also three songs on the SD card, which demonstrate the kits with original MIDI triggers from Simon Phillips.
The fifth drum kit on the included SD card is an exclusive sound package by Marco Minnemann, a German drummer, who now works as a musician in Los Angeles. Back in Europe Marco Minnemann played with Paul Gilbert, Udo Lindenberg, Paddy Kelly, Terry Bozzio, Chad Wackerman, Wolfgang Schmid, Kreator, Mike Keneally and Nena. In the USA, bands such as "The Aristocrats", tours with Steve Wilson and Joe Satriani, or the project "The Mute Gods" by Nick Beggs, the bass player and singer of the group "Kajagoogoo" followed.
Via USB, the TD-50 can be connected to a computer, with the help of a DAW, tracks can be recorded in a multi-track process. The USB 10-channel audio output ensures comfortable multi-track recording with only one USB cable.

This was a purchase that I considered for a long time as I had spent a considerable amount of money on the TD20 when it first came out and I wanted to upgrade but not have to lay out a large amount of cash. The module was the best option and so I have started to build a much larger kit with more functionality thanks to this superb bit of kit.
