Its not just an upgrade to a td-20. its like a complete replacement. everything sounds so much more realistic and the feel is everything I could have wished for and more. all of the subtleties come out now and my drumming sounds much much better. Sure the price hurts below the belt but you can sell your old controller and you get a extra tom and cymbal. Roland deserves a huge round of applause. The system make edrums feel and sound like the real thing. Thanks Roland and Merry Christmas!

The Roland TD-5 is one of the best electric drum add-ons for any drummer looking to upgrade to premium quality and features on an electric kit. One of the nicest features that is often hard to come by on a good kit is the feel of a real one and function of a choke and hand mute. This upgrade will do it all.

This is a fantastic upgrade for your existing kit, giving you the new module and new expressive pads. So many great options and sounds in one unit. This is a must do for anyone using the old technology, a no brainer.

One of the most frustrating things musicians have to deal with it when a company upgrades one part of a whole system and your are require to buy everything all over again. Well that is not the case with this Roland TD50 Pack. Instead of being forced to buy a whole new drum set (setting you back over $5000) when 75% of the drum is still current, you now can get just the module, new snare, and new cymbal and will now have a new system for a fraction of the price.

This is a great add on for those who already have a TD20 or other Roland e-kit. Comes with the brain and the new digital snare and cymbal from Roland. It is really perfect for those who want to keep their current TD model, but don't want to trade it or sell it to get the flagship TD50.

Nothing can be more frustrating than to invest in technology based gear only to find out months, years, etc later that your investment is now dated and obsolete. Enter the Roland TD50 digital pack. This pack is perfect for players who already own an electronic kit for example a Roland TD11, TD25, TD30 even another brand/model. The benefits will work for anyone. To start you get the new flagship TD50 module from Roland featuring the best sounds, functionality, etc that Roland offers plus a few digital pad inputs. Some of you may not be aware but with the release of the TD50 Roland also made a cutting edge digital connection and so far a new snare pad and ride cymbal pad. This digital connection means that even more information about what and how you're playing gets relayed to the module making for an even more expressive electronic instrument. For example a brush stroke, muting with a finger, ghost notes, etc. Speaking of those upgraded pads you get that new 14" snare drum pad and the 18" ride cymbal pad in this pack. So by simply swapping your module to the new TD50 and integrating these two new pads into your setup you'll get a higher quality, easier to manipulate sound and potentially a bigger setup as you could allocate the former snare and ride pads to an extra tom or crash sound. And since the module has another digital input you can even have some peace of mind about future expandability as Roland releases more pads/products that utilize this new input platform. So whether you play live, practice at home, or use an electronic kit to record upgrading with this new TD50 digital pack is a surefire way to take your e-kit to the next level.
