Parents—Support Your Child's Musical Journey

When learning a musical instrument, you also learn life-long lessons. While your children will learn about discipline and determination through the art of practice, the sheer enjoyment they'll get when playing the TD-1DMKX is priceless. The TD-1 module's onboard metronome and 10 coach functions will teach your child timing skills and create a foundation for a lifetime of musical creativity. The game-like experience of the coaching functions ensures every session is fun and engaging. Melodics for V-Drums, a free application for Windows or Mac computers, also provides a series of free drum lessons that help develop a sense of rhythm without it seeming like hard work.

The TD-1DMKX's pads are quieter than other electronic drums, so your child can practice all the time, any time. From double-mesh heads to a kick drum pad that absorbs the impact of a beater, all Roland V-Drums are built to have realistic "rebound" and feel. The TD-1DMKX can continuously support your child as they develop the concentration, patience and techniques that come through regular practice.

For Students—You're Off And Running

Whether you want to be a rockstar or you just want to develop solid drumming skills, the TD-1DMKX helps you get there by supporting the techniques learned in the classroom. The TD-1DMKX faithfully responds to the subtle nuances of your playing and faithfully reproduces them thanks to the fast processing and realistic acoustic sounds of the Roland TD-1 module. Just like an acoustic kit, the double-mesh heads for the snare and toms can be tension-adjusted to offer stronger "rebound" compared with drums that have single-mesh heads, giving your kit a natural feel that’s as close as possible to the feel of playing acoustic drum heads. For flexibility and personal preference, the TD-1DMKX is compatible with your choice of kick pedal, including double-kick pedals. The soft rubber pad absorbs the energy from the beater too, for a natural, faithful rebound and quieter performance.

Falling In Love Again

If you haven't sat down at the kit in a while, the TD-1MKX delivers realistic feel to bring drums back into your life, whether you're brushing up your skills or picking up where you left off.

This durable kit is infused with legendary V-Drums reliability too, so you can play with confidence for years to come. Your TD-1DMKX can grow with you as well, with the option to add additional cymbals and its upgradable sound module, you can get back on beat and start playing drums again with the Roland TD-1DMKX.

A very cool guitar, if you're into the 1980's shred thing!

I have been in the market for an 80's style shredder for a few years now. As a big fan of George Lynch, in particular the stuff he did from 1985 to 1990, I've been looking for a used ESP Skulls and Snakes model. That said, they are hard to find on the used market, and they command a premium price. Enter the Friedman Cali model. With its high-output humbuckers, Floyd Rose tremolo, and single volume knob, it's got similar specs as the Skulls and Snakes, and with a much lower point of entry. So, I jumped on it, and I am glad I did. I've spent the last few days getting to know my new Friedman Cali and I can say with confidence this is an excellent guitar for the price. That said, it does have some minor drawbacks that I will gladly look past given how amazing the guitar feels and sounds. My particular guitar was a scratch and dent, which in my case means pre-owned. I say this because when I took delivery of the guitar, I noticed a tremolo stop had been installed, poorly I might add. I confirmed with Friedman they did not install these at the factory; hence my opinion the guitar was previously sold to another customer. In any case, there are no other blemishes or visual imperfections to speak of other than, of course, the factory relic job. After my initial inspection, I put the guitar back in the case to chill out for 24 hours to acclimate to the environment. After that, I remove the old strings, cleaned and polished the frets, lubricated the hardware, applied contact cleaner to the pot and switch, put on fresh strings, and gave it a proper set-up. Some things I noticed during the whole process: the b-string tuner doesn't seem to work as smoothly as the other tuners. These appear to be Hipshot open gear locking tuners, similar to what I have on my Tyler, and I know they usually work very well. Next time I change strings, i will pull the tuner and take it apart for inspection. Another thing I noticed is the screw-in style tremolo bar on the Floyd Rose. This is simply an antiquated design and needs to go the way of the rest of the dinosaurs: extinction. I much prefer the convenience, feel, and adjustability of the drop-in replacement bar, so that is what I installed. Now the tremolo feels expressive and smooth, and the bar drops in quickly. Once I got the Cali set up, I was amazed how comfortable it is to play. Let's first talk materials and craftsmanship. The relic job on the maple neck and fingerboard, combined with the rolled fret edges and slick fret crowning, make this guitar feel like you've been playing it for decades. It's really quite special and something you have to play to understand. because of the compound radius and excellent fretwork, I am able to set the action very low without excessive buzzing. I use 9-gauge strings, and two tremolo springs are sufficient to ensure the tremolo sits parallel to the body while keeping low tension on the strings. Bending is super easy and very smooth, and the tremolo feels so expressive. The guitar just feels slinky and rather addicting to play. On the tone front, it's an absolute monster. The Friedman Classic pickups feature Alnico 5 magnets, which happen to be my favorite for hard rock tones. The bridge pickup sounds thick with gobs of sustain, while the neck pickup is round and fat. Both pickups are articulate and clear, and allow single notes in complex chords to shine through. Rolling back the volume knob will clean up your tone nicely, especially with a good tube amp. These guitars were a collaboration between Dave Friedman and Grover Jackson. Unfortunately, they are no longer working together, and Grover has moved to the Nashville, TN area. I do believe Friedman guitars will be hitting the market again soon, made by someone other than Grover. With that said, the Grover-era are pretty amazing guitars, and may become harder to find. So, if you are in the market for a 1980's super-Strat style shredder, I'd recommend checking out a Grover-era Friedman while you can.

Amazing bass with a major flaw

Being mainly a guitarist, this bass is perfectly ideal for what my needs are. A great bass with a great sound/tone for recording, and many option with the knobs to fine tune and tweak that sound to my preference. However, my biggest gripe is that the string action is ridiculously tight for this bass. I like to play with ticker gauge strings, as I typically go for lower tunings, but this bass is (ironically with it being a 5 string) is simply not made for it. The action towards the neck of the fretboard makes thicker strings unplayable. They make contact with the fretboard at around the 2nd-3rd fret, and raising the bridge to compensate isn't enough. To make matters worse, the screws that are used to raise the strings on the bridge are very easily stripped, and I'm struggling to find any sort of replacements for them.

    This pedal sounds quite good. It is quite customizable. If you do buy this, if you do not have the cord used to power it, there is a battery adapter under the actual pedal part. you just put the black pins on the pedal in and take the pedal off. anyways, really good sound if you want a proper rock or metal distortion/overdrive for an affordable price.

  • Not too bad for the price

    This product is the best drums i've ever played on because the shells are a nice color and when you tune the drums up, it sounds so good. When you play it in a open space it fills the room and when you play it in an enclosed space it sounds even better. All Im saying is that this is hands down one of the best drum sets.

    Electronics are really good. Was going to use it for jamming and professional playing. However, I could not lower the action due to stripped saddle screws
