V-Drums from Roland just got sweeter. The new HD-1 V-Drums kit, takes all the same “V” technology, makes it smaller, simpler, and more affordable. With all the legendary V Drum know-how at the core, this beginner, hobbyist, or project studios kit is well equipped and also has an external input for connecting CD players, iPods, etc., so you can jam along with your favorite tunes. To control the blend of music and your live drumming it sports a volume/mix knob through your headphones or an amplifier. It is conveniently compact with a single stand for easy pack-up-n-go setup and play. The newly designed beater-less kick drum, and cushioned snare/tom pads are ultra quiet. A useful DVD setup guide and basic drum instruction from famed drummer Johnny Rabb is included to get you started. There is also an optional HD-a Pak that includes a monitor cables and more. www.rolandus.com
