It’s that time of the year when musicians go bargain-hunting, and this year more and more retailers have started their sales early - making it the perfect time to get your hands on a great Black Friday deal. Guitar Center has just announced you can get a huge 15% off when you spend $199 or more on a massive range of music gear, including electronic drum kits, synthesizers, and recording gear. Just enter the code ‘holiday15’ when you check out with qualifying gear and get yourself a discount of up to $500.
There’s a whole bunch of great guitars, PA speakers, and synthesizers on sale but what really grabbed our attention is the Roland TD-17KV electronic drum kit with drum monitor bundle, which is currently up for grabs with a massive $255 knocked off the price.
The kings of electronic drum kits, Roland V-Drums deliver unmatched feel and sound thanks to the dual-trigger mesh pads. They’re so realistic that with a set of headphones on you'll swear you can feel the wash from the ride cymbal. It also comes with a Simmons DA2108 that delivers 100 Watts RMS, as well as providing Bluetooth so you can jam along to your favorite tunes with a handy holder for your smart device.
If a new PA is weighing on your mind, you can get a full setup of Peavey PV 5300 Powered Mixer, two 10-inch Peavey loudspeakers, and two Audio-Technica M4000S dynamic microphones, all for a frankly insane $424.99.
Dive a little deeper and you’ll find 15% off a range of Waldorf synthesizers, as well as some smashing deals on Denon DJ gear.
