Roland Hybrid Drums

Your sound, no limits!

Hybrid drums: take the raw power of acoustic drums and add the potential of electronics. Start playing a drum kit that gives you the best of both worlds.

A hybrid drumkit consists of three elements. The sound module is the heart of a hybrid drum kit. It integrates digital sounds and audio files into your drum kit. The sound module is connected to drum triggers and drum pads. Drum triggers are attached to the rim of a acoustic drum. The drum pads are situated next to your acoustic drums. While playing, the triggers and pads send audio signals to the sound module.

Don't forget to add a pair of drum monitors to your shopping cart. These monitors allow you to hear the added sounds instantly!

	Standard Kit TM-2 / RT-10K / RT-10S This is a simple kit with acoustic drum triggers connected to the TM-2 sound module. This setup is perfect for a variety of musical genres, including rock and pop.

This setup allows you to deliver heavy and powerful kick drum sounds by enhancing your acoustic sound with more attack from the electronic sound.
	Percussion Kit TM-2 / 2×BT-1 This kit features BT-1, a compact bar trigger pad attached to the snare and tom. When connected to the TM-2 sound module, the BT-1 can play percussion sounsd such as tambourine, cowbell and wood blocks or can even play audio tracks on the SD memory card.
	Modern Jazz Kit TM-2 / RT-10S / BT-1 This kit features a trigger on the snare drum and BT-1 on the tom holder arm. With this setup you can enhance your rim shots, layer characteristic snare sounds, and add percussion sounds to expand the number of instruments and sounds available in a simple kit.
	Room/Stage Kit TD-15 / RT-10K / BT-1 If you already have a Roland V-Drums kit, you can use the sound module and pads to design your own hybrid setup. You can practice at home on your V-Drums kit and take the components you need out on the road as part of a hybrid kit.
	Advanced Kit TD-30 / SPD-30 / SPD-SX / RT-10 series / KT-10 / KD-7 / 5×BT-1 / PD-128S / CY-14C By incorporating the TD-30 V-Drums sound module in your kit, you gain connectivity to a large number of RT-10 series triggers and pads, such as a V-Pad for the second snare, a second kick sound with a KT-10 pedal and many BT-1 pads.
