Roland TD-07DMK review

The only kit on this shelf that publishes what is missing: the kick pedal, the throne and the sticks are sold separately, and Roland prints it twice. Double-ply mesh, a dual-zone snare and 30 multi-effects.

What it amounts to The one kit here that publishes what is not in the box, twice, and names its pads by part number. It is the most expensive listing on this shelf and the least complete, and both facts are on the listing rather than hidden.

One PDX-8 8-inch snare with independent head and rim zones, three PDX-6A 6.5-inch single-zone toms, double-ply all-mesh heads, a TD-07 module with 25 preset kits, 25 user kits and 143 instruments, and V-Edit with EQ, ambience and 30 multi-effects.

And then, twice:

Kick pedal, drum throne and drumsticks sold separately. You will need headphones or an amplifier to hear your electronic drum kit

No other listing on this shelf publishes what is absent. Four kits here arrive with a throne, headphones and sticks in the box — one of them at $249 — and this one, at $699.99, arrives with the module and the pads. Roland goes further and recommends its own DAP-3X accessory kit to finish the job.

That is the most useful paragraph on the page, and it is the maker’s own. A reader can now add up the real cost before ordering rather than afterwards.

The named pads are the second thing nothing else here does. PDX-8 and PDX-6A are Roland parts with their own listings, which means a split mesh head is a pad rather than a kit, and a fourth tom can be added knowing it will fit. Every other listing on this shelf describes its pads by size and leaves the part number out, so any failure becomes a question for a support desk.

Thirty multi-effects and V-Edit are the only editing depth published on this shelf. The other ten kits publish a sound count; this publishes the tools for changing them.

The limits are real. The toms are 6.5 inches and single-zone, the smallest toms on this shelf, where three kits publish a 10-inch dual-zone snare and one publishes a 12-inch wooden one. There is no Bluetooth, which three kits here have, and no lessons of any kind, where five kits publish a lesson package.

The product record gives 454 g (16 oz) — one pound exactly for a complete drum kit, which is a shipping bucket rather than a weight. The six other American kits on this shelf carry record figures from 8,999 to 32,001 g (317.4 to 1128.8 oz).

The questions players ask

What does it actually cost to play?

More than the listing price, and Roland says so rather than letting it be discovered. The kick pedal, the throne and the sticks are sold separately, and headphones or an amplifier are needed to hear anything — the maker prints that twice and recommends its own DAP-3X kit to complete the setup. Four kits on this shelf arrive with a throne, headphones and sticks in the box, and one of those costs $249. This is the honest version of a $699.99 kit, and it is still the one that needs the most ordering.

Why are the pad model numbers worth anything?

Because they can be ordered. PDX-8 and PDX-6A are Roland parts with their own listings, so a split head is a pad rather than a kit, and a fourth tom can be added without guessing what fits. No other listing on this shelf names its pads at all, which means a failure on any of them is a question for a support desk.
