« Back to Article
Roland has unveiled a highly portable electronic drum set that can fold up small enough to be carried under the arm
The TD-4KP V-Drums Portable set includes a percussion sound module, a kick pad, four pads for snare/toms, three cymbal pads for hi-hat, crash and ride and a hi-hat control pedal
The included TD-4 percussion sound module delivers a wide range of expressive drum and percussion sounds that can be easily edited, allowing players to quickly customize their kits

Article Summary
Surely no working drummer would seriously entertain the use of drum pants or t-shirts to make the burden of transporting and setting up a kit a little easier, but even conventional acoustic skin bashers might give electronic drums a whirl. The e-drumkit takes up much less room in the back of the band's van, is always in tune and can sound just like the real thing, or just about anything else you might want the various pads to sound like. In the case of Roland's new TD-4KP V-Drums Portable, the whole setup can be collapsed down and carried under the arm.
