Flagship-Class Sound, Maximum Expression

Newly updated and enhanced, the TD-27 V-Drums sound module is loaded with the finest acoustic drum sounds you’ve ever heard. Roland’s Prismatic Sound Modeling produces drums that not only sound exceptional, but also respond just like real acoustic instruments when you play them. Advanced digital trigger inputs support Roland digital pads for unmatched expression, while PureAcoustic Ambience Technology offers a variety of inspiring drumming spaces at the touch of a button. A wide selection of electronic sounds from Roland’s rich sonic history are also included, providing must-have sounds for modern styles. And by loading and layering your own samples with internal drums, you’re able to craft sounds that no other drummer can claim.

TD-27 Version 2: More Sounds, More Power

The TD-27 module gets even better with the Version 2 update. Explore 75 preset kits, including 10 all-new kits and newly enhanced versions of the three most popular kits from the original release. New pre-loaded samples are also available for combining with preset kits or your own custom setups. Layering features have been expanded, while parallel compression options and transient shaping enhancements provide even greater sound control. The module interface has also been improved for even faster sound selection and drum customization.

Feel the Sound of Prismatic

Roland’s Prismatic Sound Modeling brings you an electronic drumming experience like no other. We start with carefully curated samples of real drums and percussion, recorded by top players in leading studios. Next, we bring these static samples to life with advanced modeling that recreates the acoustic behavior between each sample for a smooth, true-to-life drumming experience.

Seek Your Signature Drum Sound

With acoustic drums, you personalize the sound by swapping heads, adjusting the tuning, applying damping, changing out kick beaters, and more. You can do the same with the TD-27 module and its hands-on controls and intuitive editing tools. And with the module’s enhanced layering features, it’s even easier to create fat, hybrid sounds. Edits are saved automatically as you go, so you can always stay focused on playing.

Import Samples to Perfect Your Performance

Some performances need specific sounds. With the TD-27 module, you can import and trigger original single-shot drum hits or introduce audio loops, sequences, and more. Going further, imported samples can be mixed and layered with internal sounds to build any kit you can imagine.

Digital Trigger Technology

The TD-27 module features three digital trigger inputs for advanced Roland digital pads like the PD-140DS snare, VH-14D hi-hat, and CY-18DR ride to deliver the most natural expression of your drumming. Multiple sensors and lightning-fast module processing work together for unparalleled response, enabling you to play genuine techniques in the most natural way, with every nuance precisely detected and perfectly translated.

Analog Trigger Support

In addition to its three digital trigger inputs, the TD-27 module features a multi-pin analog trigger jack for fast and easy connection with any standard V-Drums pad arrangement via an included cable. There’s also a dedicated analog trigger input for a second crash cymbal pad, plus three auxiliary trigger inputs for customizing your setup by adding any Roland trigger pad.

Advanced Sound Processing Options

Use PureAcoustic Ambience technology to create an incredibly natural and immersive sound field when playing. And go deeper by adjusting individual drums mics and the stereo overheads, just as you would with an acoustic kit. Advanced onboard multi-effects and mixing capabilities give you the power of a full-scale studio console, with transient processing, parametric EQs, compressors, reverbs, delays, and more at your command.

Connectivity for Stage and Studio

The TD-27 is a powerful command center for any electronic drumming setup, with ample connectivity options for both stage and studio use. There are stereo outputs for the overall drum sound, plus two direct outputs for sending kick, snare, and other sounds to an audio console for independent mixing. The built-in USB audio interface makes computer music production simple, with up to 28 discrete audio channels available over a single cable. MIDI is also supported via USB and dedicated I/O, allowing you to sync with other MIDI devices and trigger sounds in computer software.

Bluetooth Audio Streaming

Built-in Bluetooth lets you wirelessly stream audio from a phone or laptop to the module—ideal for jamming with headphones. Play along with backing tracks and your favorite bands, or mix the sound from a YouTube lesson video with the kit. You can even record your performances—with or without backing—to hear where you need to tighten things up.
