Roland unveils three affordable TD-07 series electronic drum sets
Each of the all-mesh kits are based around the TD-07 module
Roland has announced the release of four new electronic drum set configurations. Each setup is based around Roland’s feature-packed, beginner/improver-friendly TD-07 drum module, and all include Roland’s patented dual-ply mesh heads.
The three-kit line-up joins the existing TD-07KV, and covers quite a lot of ground, from compact and portable to larger cymbal sizes and acoustic-style hi-hat mounting.
As well as plenty of acoustic, electronic and percussion sounds, and built-in editing and effects to process the sounds even further, the TD-07 module comes equipped with a host of features to make learning and practicing easier and more enjoyable. These include a USB audio/MIDI interface, Bluetooth, multiple on-board Coach modes and integration with Melodics online drum lessons.
Roland TD-07DMK
The entry-level TD-07DMK is the most affordable kit in the TD-07 series. It features a compact pad layout and a slimline kick pad that attaches directly to the stand, making it ideal for tight setups and situations where the kit needs to be stored away when not in use.

“I’m not getting any sound from one of my pads!”: 10 common electronic drum set issues and how to troubleshoot them
“What we get here is the essence of Alesis’ flagship electronic drum set, with all the great features, minus the stuff that is likely to be ‘nice-to-have’ rather than essential”: Alesis Strata Core review
I'm a freelance member of the MusicRadar team, specialising in drum news, interviews and reviews. I formerly edited Rhythm and Total Guitar here in the UK and have been playing drums for more than 25 years (my arms are very tired). When I'm not working on the site, I can be found on my electronic kit at home, or gigging and depping in function bands and the odd original project.
