ROLAND TD-50K2 E-Drum Set

Flagship Drumming Performance for Smaller Spaces

Equipped with Roland’s most expressive drum sounds and sensing technologies, the TD-50K2 delivers flagship performance in a smaller size. Our ground-breaking digital snare, ride, and hi-hat pads bring ultra-detailed playability to the three most nuanced pieces in the kit, complete with full-size playing surfaces for maximum drumming comfort. The next-generation TD-50X module provides unsurpassed tone, feel, and response, coupled with deep editing tools to personalize your sound and pro connectivity to take on any situation. Compact tom and kick pads minimize the overall footprint without sacrificing playability, making this kit a great choice for home playing, small stages, and anywhere space is tight.

Prismatic Sound Modeling: Feel the Difference

Prismatic Sound Modeling in the TD-50X makes electronic drums come to life like no other system, infusing multi-layer samples recorded in world-class studios with sophisticated behavior modeling techniques refined over more than two decades. Inspired by a prism—which refracts a single beam of light into every color in the spectrum—our revolutionary approach produces an unlimited range of sonic colors with every stick hit. The initial strike is followed by a complex mix of rich overtones, just like playing acoustic drums and cymbals. You can feel the sound changing in reaction to your expression, creating a magical, interactive bond that fully immerses you in the emotion of the moment. From subtle ghost notes and detailed articulation to the loudest and most intense playing, your drumming has no boundaries with the TD-50X.

Roland Digital Pads: A Revolution in Electronic Drumming

Our breakthrough digital pad technology fully realizes the vast expressive potential made possible with Prismatic Sound Modeling. Multi-sensor detection in the snare, cymbal, and hi-hat pads works with the lightning-fast processing in the TD-50X module to bring authentic acoustic nuance and detail to these core kit pieces. All your playing techniques translate seamlessly, such as subtly touching the cymbal to mute the sound or switching at will between head, rimshot, and cross stick playing on the snare. The game-changing VH-14D completes the experience, offering touch sensitivity, tonal variation, and open/closed resolution that’s never been available in electronic hi-hats until now.

Authentic Mesh Heads

Authentic Mesh Heads
The TD-50K2 features Roland’s famous multi-ply mesh heads, with a three-layer drumhead on the snare and two-layer drumheads on the toms, providing natural stick resistance and rebound for an ultra-satisfying feel and response. Just like drumheads on acoustic drums, you can tweak the tension to your preference with a standard drum key. And since our mesh heads produce very little acoustic noise, the TD-50K2 is ideal for both quiet practice sessions with headphones and live performance setups that require total volume control on stage.

Save Space Without Compromise

The TD-50K2 is the ideal solution when you want the best V-Drums performance in a compact footprint. With the TD-50X module and digital snare, cymbal, and hi-hat pads, you get all the key components from the top-of-the-line TD-50KV2. Three 10-inch tom pads and the KD-140 kick pad provide the ideal balance of reduced size and authentic playability, while 14-inch and 16-inch crash cymbal pads provide large playing surfaces and thin profiles for natural feel and swinging motion. The MDS-Grand 2 rack is both streamlined and rugged, and it offers plenty of room if you ever want to upgrade to a full-size V-Drums bass drum such as the KD-180 or KD-220.

Instant Satisfaction

Imagine acoustic drums that are mic’ed, processed, and mixed in a world-class studio—that’s what you get when you call up a preset on the TD-50X. These inspiring kits, developed with top drummers and recording engineers, allow you to take on any style at the touch of a button, from traditional jazz to full-throttle metal.

Make the Sound Your Own

Beyond the presets, the TD-50X allows you to customize things at every level—just as you would with an acoustic kit. Make quick adjustments to tuning and muffling, or dive deep and build your kit from the ground up by selecting shell depth, drumhead types, cymbal characteristics, and much more. Then put the kit in the space of your choice using PureAcoustic Ambience, with full control of room type, reverb, stereo width, and other parameters at your disposal.

A Recording Studio at Your Fingertips

After you’ve tweaked the details of your kit, bring it to mix-ready perfection with the TD-50X’s impressive array of pro studio tools. Adjust mic settings for various kit elements, then dial in sounds with EQs, compressors, and other processing tools. And for spaciousness and color, tap into the wide selection of high-quality reverbs and multi-effects.

Mix Outside the Box

When performing with electronic drums, the ability to process sounds outside the box is vital. The TD-50X has ten fully assignable outputs for sending the house engineer whatever drums they need, with or without effects. And when you're solo, you can easily control the mix from the stage using the panel faders. The TD-50X also excels for computer music production, with the ability to send up to 32 simultaneous channels of digital audio plus MIDI over USB for premium-quality transfer.

Your Personal Practice Partner

The TD-50X is loaded with practice features that make every session fun, productive, and rewarding. Improve your timing with the metronome and Coach mode exercises, or simply jam along with music played from a smartphone or laptop. The onboard recorder lets you capture and review your playing at any time, complete with the ability to export audio (with or without backing music) to share with others. You can extend your practice even further with Melodics™, a free desktop app that comes with 40 lessons, plus unlimited access via a subscription when you’re ready for more.
